So I grew up in Arizona as well as Bay Area, CA (my parents were divorced). Moved to Austin, Texas in 2000 and NM a couple years ago. I’ve never lived in the Northeast, never even been further than NYC in that direction, though I loved Brooklyn.
I’ve been thinking lately, partly because I’ve always hated the heat and partly because I’m sure global warming won’t be kind to the area, that I’d like to check out the Northeast, maybe upstate NY or around there. Maybe Maine. Maybe even Canada if things get particularly a way here. In any case, besides taking time to actually visit the area which I plan to do next fall for about a month, hopefully, I’d love to get any opinions about living in that region. Likes? Dislikes? Favorite areas to consider? Suggestions? Anyone make the kind of geographic change I’ve described? Thanks!
😂 I love this! I do love New Mexican spice so that could be an interesting change!
Before you leave the SW, take a cooking class from some abuela. You’ll be glad to share some real food one in a while just to have some yourself.
East of the Mississippi and north of OK, people think all tacos are hard shell, stale-ass Taco Bell abominations. I just can’t even sometimes.
While you do see some people in the north that can’t take spice, this quote is just wrong
There is good Latino food in the midwest and northeast now. Just look for smaller restaurants, or food trucks.
For sure, but when you go to visit lifelong Midwesterners, that’s the absolute last place they’ll take you.
I think a lot of times that’s just lack of familiarity bc the better restaurants are newer.
Beware the chancla! 😱👻
You never know, this might be why OP is moving!
Kinky. 🤪
Sounds like a great market for some good real SW cuisine! And that’s a great idea to get classes.
