Chengdu is solid. The dumplings are awesome. It’s expensive but you get a lot of food and it’s good.

Reply to Greetings! Any recommendations for good cheesecake downtown? 🍰 Asking for a friend (me). Thanks! by literarytswift
Not downtown, but Pepolino in the city has the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. They sell cakes to go if you call ahead. Right now I’m a sucker for Cangiano’s in Hamilton Park’s Oreo cheesecake. They also have regular and other flavors that are awesome.

Cangiano’s has them in their freezer section. Recommend getting their vodka sauce too and making vodka lobster ravs.

Cangiano’s has a house salad that serves 12 for $50 on their catering menu.

I posted a poll a few months ago asking what people’s household annual income in this sub is. 1000 people responded and 60% make above six figures. You only need to make about $140k/year to afford a place like this if you use the 30% of salary on housing rule of thumb.

Per your logic, shouldn’t the restaurant cover “those normal costs of doing business”? Why tip wait staff but not your building concierge and stewards?

How much do you pay in rent per month?

Thanks for the feedback! As a renter I don’t know the exact maintenance fees. I’ve seen from listings that a comparable apartment in my building has an HOA fee of ~$500/mo. Should I tip $500?

My building pools money from residents and distributes to the staff according to position and hours. I give $250. Unsure if that’s enough though. I was hoping for more feedback on this thread.

Do you apply this same logic to restaurant wait staff or other service based jobs?

Oh ok, I thought your point was that the staff isn’t paid enough to intervene.

No, just trying understand the relevancy of pay rate to one’s willingness to risk their life to stop robberies like this. Seems irrelevant.

What level of cleaning do they do? Do you have to pre-clean / organize before they come? Or will they organize your stuff?

If I’m tipping someone $5-$10 to drive my food a few miles, I expect it to be delivered to my door.
