Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What was the water flowing by the Brooklyn Bridge? Is that some new fountain?
I didn't notice, but it must have been the (now gone) "waterfalls" they had up in the river. Art.
It seemed like the middle-of-the-pack people did have a starting idea, and made it work fine. I'm thinkig of the smoked fish on the latke -- she thought of four or five things that scream "Russian" and made a plate with them.

So they're in Hoboken, right? Were the Atlas apartments taken?
The Chinatown dishes were pathetic - you can get that salad at the Cheesecake Factory for fuck's sake!
I was really surprised that the "Little India" team was shopping in Manhattan instead of Jackson Heights. (And I thought the Chinatown team should have gone to Flushing and the Little Italy team to the Bronx, but I'm kind of an outer borough snob that way.)
And I have to say, based on all the food competition TV I've watched, culinary school seems like a colossal waste of time.

Yeah, the locations they had were weird -- I'm sure it was for ease of shopping/filming.
I thought they were in LIC, but could be wrong.

One of the India people said they were in downtown Manhattan at one point. I know because my reaction was, wait, did they mean 6th Street = Little India?
Also, I had no idea what or where Ozone park was. Or that Jamaica, Queens was actually a Jamaican neighborhood.

I don't think that Jamaica, Queens is actually a Jamaican neighborhood and I was a bit surprised that they went in that direction. Not that I know what sort of neighborhood it is.

Sumi, Wikipedia agrees with you.
If they'd wanted West Indian food, they should have come to my neighborhood, except we don't really have any good grocery stores.

I'm sure there are Jamaican people in Jamaica, Queens, but I think of it as a fairly miscellaneous poor neighborhood, mostly black, but not predominantly Jamaican, for sure.

Okay, is anyone else watching Stylista? It is almost unbearable but also addictive!
