i'm pretty sure most of that growth is swelling and blood pooling into the arms.
Oh I'm sure that's just extreme lol. Kinda weird he just alternates the same 2 exercise sets, or I just wasn't paying close enough attention. Dat pump.
Your elbows just have to be wrecked after that.
Roidheads are crazy, they'll do anything for the pump.

If you want some good japanese, go to SakaGura, 211 East 43rd St. (between 2nd and 3rd ave). It's hard to find, and in the basement of what looked like an office building with no external signs to make it easy to locate. It's amazing though.

I will be visiting Italy in a couple weeks. How credit-card friendly are most places over there? I mean here in the States, I barely use cash at all. Should I bring cash/traveler's checks? Should I just use a credit/debit card?
Where are you going and what will you be doing?
Gonna hit the normal spots, Rome and Venice and Vatican, then things like Lucca, Cinque Terre, maybe go up north to the mountains.
Mostly checking out historic stuff and sightseeing. Touristy stuff.
My advice is know how much taxi fares from the airport should cost and what route they should be so you don't get ripped off. Make sure you don't carry too much stuff in your wallet or keep a fake one. If someone is trying to cosy up to you and is getting close be suspicious. Keep a hand on your luggage at all times so if someone tries to nice chat you a second person doesn't try and jump you.

I'll keep it in mind. I'm a generally cautious person in the first place, but public transpo puts me on high alert.

If people are getting friendly, especially take note. Europeans don't talk to each other. It's really an exclusively American thing to be interested in strangers at all.

A few other Japanese restaurants:
Kenka - For anything, really, though I'd stay away from the curry since there are better places if you want curry Menkuitei - For ramen. This and Kenka used to be places me and a few other TLers went all the time when we didn't have other places to go to. Still good though. There are other ramen places like Ippudo, but they tend to be really crowded and not that worth the wait. Udon West - For udon obviously Katsuhama - For Katsu, obviously. This and Donburiya have great Katsu dishes, so if you're a fan of that. There you go. Curry-Ya - For Japanese curry Hi-Collar - For Breakfast. Really nice coffee selection I think
There are a few other places to keep in mind. There's a place that Milkis recommended for Italian food. It's called Eataly. I've been there before and it's pretty good. Also a tourist-y place.
I've also been to a two fish and chips places over the last few months, so might as well recommend those:
There's also a burger joint called Shake Shack. Kind of overpriced in my opinion, but it has its fair share of fans.
There are a lot of other places I'd suggest but there are too many. If you have a preferred food you can ask.
No sushi places unfortunately since I can't afford them. ;_;

Yes. NYC public transit is pretty convenient, albeit stupid subway now costs $2.50 per ride. Still, it'll take you almost anywhere you need to go.
My general rule of thumb as a tourist is if you're in a tourist area don't trust locals especially ones that approach, a decent chunk of them are looking a quick buck off you in the best case scenario.

It's one of the few places in America that public transportation is actually functional
Oh yeah so I've been playing Virtue's Last Reward (the follow up to 999) a bit recently. It's quite good, I'm partially engrossed by virtue of being a fan of the previous game, but the writing in this is really really clever, especially the puns.

Many young people are trying to make it a thing, at least around here. But yeah, I generally feel suspicious if a stranger talks to me on street for a different reason than to ask for money/cigs/directions.
Nos-, if you've never been to NYC before, you should also try to street food, namely the halal carts. But if you're going to try one, try the original halal cart which is on 53rd street and 6th avenue, which you can find more info about here if that interests you.
