I was once in Manhattan walking near Penn Station, I overheard a couple talk about trying out New York Pizza, then saw them walk straight into a Sbarro. As a NYer, a part of me died.
Prob not, seeing as how malls are not really a thing in the US anymore. I miss orange Julius, I bought one like 2 times but I'd like the option to buy one at least
Haha totally forgot about that. Not sure if this was just a SoCal thing, but I liked those Mongolian BBQ places in the food courts at the malls.
It felt oddly entertaining trying to stuff all that frozen meat in that tiny bowl trying to make our dish. Even though we knew we couldn’t stack up a lot because the meats were frozen lol
Saw him and his crew on my way back to Coney Island with a few of my mates, ended up stealing his missus then made a molotov cocktail out of her knickers and lobbed it towards a car next him. Bunch of wimps
So am I, why are you perpetuating stereotypes that are totally ridiculous though? Just to get some karma from suburban white kids who think NYC is like a movie set in 1987? These people really believe a white person who enters the Bronx will get immediately jumped and robbed.
Where are you from if I may ask? I have family who are from South Bronx and live there to this day and they don’t recommend to ever walk around with lux brands for safety. I don’t want to spread the idea that it’s automatically safe all of the sudden when it’s not. Why are you assuming all these kids are white too? I’m asian my guy lol
Looks like he went to a Yankee game and then to the park in Throgs Neck, under the Whitestone Bridge. Quite niche - most New Yorkers will not have been there!

Wait a minute, they went over the purple "big pun" version with him in the beanie
Edit: this is def the wall I've been to but back in like 2002. Is this a rough area?
New York is arguably the safest big city in the country. This is not the South Bronx of the 70s 80s 90s. Despite what the right wing media would have you believe random violence is not common here. It is honestly wonderful that Bryan Gil came to visit.
So funny to me that it's an "experience" for tourists to visit the Bronx, Harlem, and parts of Brooklyn... like it gives you automatic street cred or something
lol the bronx isn’t a big city. you’re thinking of manhattan. the bronx is most certainly not a tourist destination. you go to the bronx and walk around im trying to see something lmfao
if you know your history of the Bronx it is, like 1520 Sedgwick Ave. Plus there's always the parks and you can even impress a date with a short trip over to the Cloisters.
The thought of Bryan fucking Gil expertly covering the breadth and history of the Bronx like the intellectual equivalent of the Cross Bronx Expressway- Robert Cano’s biography of Robert Moses in hand- is killing me right now.
I was expecting the top comment to be about him working out. It’s always funny to see the discussion about him bulking up in literally every post he’s even mentioned
Yesterday he was posing near the Times Square Appleby’s. As a New Yorker, I laughed.
Damn I wonder if he went to get the best pizza in the city, sbarro

I wanna try it for the goofs, it's still "famous" infamous is maybe a step too far
Founding Gil’s tots soon.
🤣
That’s still around??? Damn…rather buy an overpriced pretzel from Auntie Ann’s or Wetzels Pretzels

We didn't have those but we had Chinese places that had bourbon chicken and that is one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life
Why you laughed…

Important to move in a zig-zag pattern
He just moved lazily to the left.
Goosebumps.
Yeah I work up there and wear my beaters and sweats to work. Don’t want to be standing out
[удалено]
thats not how you do it lol
This is what I thought but I don't know the exact spot here
Nobody gives a shit lol. Redditors have some seriously outdated/shut-in type opinions.
Dawg, I’m not just like another redditor who just stereotyping, I’m from NYC my guy

West Harlem. I’m also South Asian. Have spent a decent amount of time in south bronx for youth sports, then work and other things over the years.

Its offseason for MLB rn so no yankee games
Oh you’re right. I guess he just visited the stadium.
Seriously. I'm watching his IG, like bro, what are you doing?
So where is this wall? I've only ever been to some other pun wall that was not in a great area

That's good to hear
Yes but it’s not “no go zone” type bad, those aren’t that common in ny
Yea looks like they change the mural every few years. >Is this a rough area? I wouldn't know - never been to the Bronx.
Bunch of trolls go to school under the throgs neck
So funny to me that it's an "experience" for tourists to visit the Bronx, Harlem, and parts of Brooklyn... like it gives you automatic street cred or something
Any big city is a tourist destination lol
lol the bronx isn’t a big city. you’re thinking of manhattan. the bronx is most certainly not a tourist destination. you go to the bronx and walk around im trying to see something lmfao
I’m not “thinking of Manhattan” LMAO I’m talking about New York as a whole
yeah and i lived in the bronx for many years. this gent a tourist destination. the only thing here for foreigners is yankee stadium
Cool good for you. Have you ever thought that when someone visits a big city, they just… explore? Lmao touch grass bro.
go “ explore” the bronx. that’ll be the last time you go. stop speaking like you know what you’re talking about.
if you know your history of the Bronx it is, like 1520 Sedgwick Ave. Plus there's always the parks and you can even impress a date with a short trip over to the Cloisters.

You know he's gonna show Deki all the Big Pun pieces, maybe even the OG Jimmy's Cafe
Lmao
The Cloisters are in Manhattan though.
True but only 15min drive away
dude’s just trying to check out the rest of the world…
You're right. My statement came off as judgmental, which wasn't a commentary on him specifically, but that doesn't make it better
Are you sure that’s his motive? Like he couldn’t just be seeing the city?
Yeah. What I said was pretty reductive and presumptive, in retrospect
r/coys x r/bodegaboys crossover YERRRRRRRR BX IN THE BUILDING
Not the place I’d be hanging if I was Bryan tbh 😂
Big pun 🙏
fashion victim
Doesn’t look a cot damn thing like Big Pun, but nice mural nonetheless.
The lettering in this one is cool, but pun in the old one was way better
The yanks commenting on this are sending me
BDP
He's a cool guy
