Airtrain from JFK to Jamaica Train station. Take the Long Island RR there to Manhattan- either Penn Station for West Side or Grand Central for East. It's easy and might even be faster than a car. You can go cheaper if you want to take the subway (A train) from Jamaica, but I always prefer the LIRR as there are way fewer stops.

That’s what I do now. My go-tos are Fei Long or iFresh. Sometimes JMart, but that’s further our for me.

But HMart hits different. First off the seafood market is incredible. There are signs directing everyone on how they can prepare your fish (eg butterflied, filleted, etc). Trying to communicate this at a Chinese market is a bit more challenging for me. What about the shrimp section? There’s like 15 different types of shrimp to choose from. Additionally, the seafood market at hmart is usually immaculate. Then you have the kimchi and prepared ban Chan selection that is incredible. Let’s not forget the meat section which is vast, organized, and well-maintained. Want to make hot pot tonight? Go for it, get that beautifully sliced rib eye. Feel like making Korean bbq? Pick up that pork belly or pre-marinated kalbi.

When it comes to HMart and most Asian markets (exception for Mitsuwa) we’re comparing the finest Honeycrisp Apples to shitty off-season oranges.

The one in East Rutherford is inside the American Dream mall. I don’t really get how that is commercially viable. Are people going to pay $5 to park, just to go to the grocery store?

I’m guessing it’s supposed to be a flagship storefront.. I don’t think grocery stores need those, though.

Our 3k and 4k was amazing have you actually used the program or are you speaking on behalf of the current education system K+? Hell I'll didn't drop the name Ivy Prep Early Learning Academy - Bronx.

Objectively my kids are 2 years ahead of where I was... granted the television isn't raising my kids like my parents did before me.

The ciriculem at first seemed way too mature for a 3 year old. But, when you're kid is the smartest child in kindergarten / 1st grade in your new "private" (or whatever you decide) school you can thank old douchebag deblasio. Literally the only thing he did right!

Some schools could be trash but if you can get into the one listed above I guarantee your kids will form better opinions than you 🤣🤣
