Okay as a lifelong New Yorker here are my incredibly minor and niche quibbles with the creative treatments in the Spider-Man set.

That's the wrong coffee cup. If your coffee doesn't come in the blue and white cup it's probably too fresh and cost too much money.

Crew 2: Objectively correct But no platform is that empty or clean. Chances are this is the Lexington Avenue line (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 trains in NYC are different sizes than the letter trains and the 7) and I'm calling this the Lexington line since it's green.

I can see my house from here... (Not really but it is just off screen to the right. The place I used to live, however, is absolutely visible in this art)

Staten Island is the forgotten boro. You can get there by bus from Brooklyn but outside of that the only mass transit that goes there regularly is the Staten Island Ferr - and yes they are that shade of orange. Also it takes way more than an hour to get there who are you kidding Gwen?

There's no stack of dried out over salted pretzels. Also if you don't want a hot dog order a knish from one of these things.

Gentrification. But really, a lot of prewar buildings are in neighborhoods where people who have lived in NYC a long time live, and are currently being displaced from. This looks like it could be the Upper West Side in Manahttan, Park Slope in Brooklyn, or Flushing in Queens (to name a few)

I just spent 30 minutes trying to imagine where that hot dog cart would be in my universe 😹🤡. Mercer/Spring/2019

How do you feel about "bagel and schmear" vs "bagel with/and A schmear"?
sep 2, 2025, 5:47 pm • 5 0 • view
Not exactly a seasoned New Yorker, but I am a seasoned Jew. The phrasing is fine but what's really missing is the lox, which in my humble opinion is really needed to balance out the schmear. Pumpernickel bagel with scrambled eggs, schmear, and lox is the best bagel, fight me

Seasoned Jew - does that mean pastrami spice or Knorr?

not having lox makes it vegetarian friendly, which i, a known bagel aficionado, appreciate

Absolutely understandable and respected. The art should have at least been an everything bagel though

oh, 100% no question. also, i love me a bagel with scrambled eggs and schmear so i'm down with your take

Now I want a bagel. Unfortunately I live in Georgia so I have to buy them from the farmers market and make them myself

Carrot lox is .. surprisingly good!

if you zoom in you can see a bit of somethibg pink. Which is probably nova or other smoked salmon, but is getting called lox in this context.

My bigger issue is that it's not one word. And at least it's not "Egg cheese bacon on an English Muffin"

Feel like it should be with a, also I'd quibble that there is too much cream cheese on that bagel to be a schmear.
