    "I have so many goals in my life, and I want to accomplish so many things but with each passing year, it just seems like I have less and less time to achieve them." Couldn't have said a more real phrase that's applicable to everyone's life. I'm only 21 and I feel the same way!

    Happy Birthday, James! I, like you, have celebrated many birthdays alone but I always try to treat myself to something special on those occasions. I am so glad you enjoyed your meal at 63 Clinton. The tasting menu looked wonderful and you took us on a fabulous journey of each course with you. I love your descriptions of each dish and your reactions to the presentation and taste of each offering. I have really become a fan of your posts and look forward to more dining experiences with you in the future!

      I know what you mean. It can definitely be a little intimidating to dine at a restaurant alone, but sometimes it's just tough to get people to join, especially when the food can be costly like at a Michelin starred restaurant. 63 Clinton in particular, had great service and made me feel so welcome even though it was just me. I hope you enjoy it!

We're even seeing some of the really heavy hitters closing here in the UK - Le Gavroche (the first UK restaurant to get 1, 2 AND 3 stars) and Marcus have both announced they will be closing shortly. Luckily, I've already eaten at both but it's definitely a sign of changing times in hospitality. I can live with it if it means an influx of new places coming out of left field though.

    Not sure whether to wish you a belated birthday or pre birthday for next year since it’s now November. So Happy Day!!! Every day! Although
    I gave you a thumbs up, I would not be a big fan of a restaurant like this. It appeared to be a bit too grungy and the decor seemed patched together, The garbage in front of the restaurant before you go in to eat was a nice touch as was the peeling paint. Some of the food looked good but not a big fan of the presentations or food combos. (Giant gray rustic pottery plate with 1 tbs of food). I know it’s the trend to present food on huge plates with a small amount of food but at least provide beautiful plates. Grey/gray plates make the food look unappetizing. But…hey it was your birthday and you enjoyed it so that is all that matters.

    Thanks for another informative and entertaining video. I am a big fan of the Lower East Side + St. Marks area. So this will def be on my radar moving forward. Thanks for sharing your experiences. By the way, how is the housing and rent situation in NYC right now (post pandemic). From the streets it sounds like they are raising monthly rents again. It seems only millionaires can live on Manhattan now 😞 BOOOOOO.....

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching! Yeah, I'm also a fan of that area. The variety of restaurants it hosts is incredible! Housing and rent is still expensive, but it seems to be stabilizing a bit now. However, it's still so ridiculously expensive.

      @@Jamesnu I know RIGHT. Even the artists and musicians are being forced out of the city. So SOHO and Greenwich Village has really lost it's artistic and Bohemian Feel. Which is really sad because Woody Allen and Bob Dylan use to grace MacDougal and Bleecker. Always thanks again for the wonderful and informative content.

      @@Jamesnu Indeed my friend. Just the inevitable consequence of modernity and gentrification. Thank goodness that the East Village still has minor pockets of creativity and culture. And remains the last bastion of creativity in the New York landscape. Compared to the highly commercialized areas of SOHO and the West Village, a artistic and musical bygone era of Americana. Thanks again James. Really love the quality of your content and look forward to your next video. Much appreciated my friend!!!

    Happy birthday James! I think having a date for a birthday dinner is over rated. While the camaraderie is nice and that does sound selfish, when there's amazing food in front of you, it can be somewhat of a distraction -and not to mention your videos may not be as enjoyable.

    • @Jamesnu

      Thank you! I know what you mean. It definitely would've been hard to make this video with somebody else there. But if I wasn't filming, then I would've at least wanted a date with someone who appreciates the food as much as I do.
