La Dinastia, NYC

My favorite fried chicken in New York City!

La Dinastia on West 72nd St. is a classic Chinese-Dominican restaurant that my friend Victor introduced me to 25 years ago and we have no stopped eating at since. Obviously it was easier when we lived ten blocks away on 82nd St., but we’re still happy to make the trip from wherever we live. Even after we moved to Shanghai, we visited La Dinastia every time we flew back.

Last Friday we hit The Dead Poet for a few cocktails first, then shot down to the Return Brewing Tap Takeover at The Hoptimist before heading to La Dinastia for my friend John’s birthday dinner. As a creature of habit, my family always orders the exact same thing here, but this time, John had the honor of choosing our dinner... as long as their Boneless Crispy Crackling Chicken hit the table, as seen above. Here’s a look at what else we went with...

Old school pork egg rolls, which are getting harder and harder to find in the city...

Fried pork dumplings, which were a first for me...

General Tso’s Crispy Beef...

Arroz con Pollo Dominican Style...

There was also an order of their Chickpeas in Moro sauce, which is another dish I always get, and highly recommend you do too.

Everything was outstanding as always! Consistency is king here.

And, for another first, I ordered a cocktail instead of beer, a Nutcracker, with rum, amaretto, SoCo, pineapple juice and grenadine...

Several of New York’s long-time Latin-Chinese restaurants did not survive the pandemic, with even La Caridad 78 closing, but La Dinastia was packed with people, still going strong with all the same staff, and now their kids, who have been serving here for the three decades I’ve been going.

In the end, it’s the food that people keep coming back for, and on that front, La Dinastia is still at the top of their game!

(Yknow what, sending one for Vanilla too) "Dishes, are, uhm, cleaned Miss, ah, hoptimist." This day is awkward. Fun, delicious food but, awkward. And he still can't leave because his brother is now busy cleaning something else with the robot. You know what. Might as well ask the question. "...Why did ya let us eat? We kinda - made a mess of ya house. Ya could have just - thrown us out."

"It's Miss Vanilla and well..." The elder rabbit spoke, pausing, as she reflected on the day. She had only left the house to grab some butter from the store and came back to her daughter crying, and her house utterly trashed, which was a result of skunks breaking in and starting a fight with Gemerl.

"It was clear that you regret your actions in the end, even if those actions were inappropriate in the first place.... and the fact you and your brother are willing to tidy up afterwards" Vanilla hummed.

"Plus, I know what it's like to be young and wild... As well as that you both look like you were hungry, thus it was only fair for the pair of you to eat." A smile form on her face.

SUGA is the fifth member to have a solo release in Chapter 2. This album also concludes Agust D’s career after Agust D and D-2.

MV Photo Sketch

Episode of the MV Shoot Sketch

This song is the second collaboration between SUGA/Agust D and IU, after “eight(에잇) (Prod.&Feat. SUGA of BTS)” released in May 2020.

The MV was filmed at South Cape (cr. btsmap1). They used one of the cliff houses for the part in the home and the music library for the part in the studio. During this first part, you can notice decorative fake books and a Danish springy-toy called Hoptimist (src). Thanks to Instagram stories from Nam Hyunwoo and the brand Entre d’eux, we know some of their products were in the bathroom: the nkumba flos or the verte grez hand wash as well as the bitter vitae hand cream.

The black dog appearing in the MV is Nam Hyunwoo’s, the director of photography who’s been working on pretty much every BTS MVs and CFs. Nam himself did a cameo in “The Astronaut” MV.

A Danish ARMY also caught sight of an Hoptimist, a little springy-toy designed by Danish designer Gustav Ehrenreich in 1968 (src).

Glitch Film

Release date: 14 April 2023

The film starts with a calendar from 2016, moving from January to August, passing July twice. The first Agust D mixtape was released on the 16 August, 2016.

The following part mixes extracts of the previous videos so “Agust D” MV, “give it to me” MV and “Daechwita” MV. There are also new elements that seems to relate to D-DAY, including a recorder, birds, dollar bills, and an eye. The video also connects the three human shapes to an MV:

rectangle shape: “Agust D” MV

spiky shape: “Daechwita” MV

particle shape: “give it to me” MV

The MV was filmed in Bangkok, notably in a place known as the thieves' market (src). The street scenes were filmed here (src), the hideout of criminal Agust D was here and the tangerine scene happened in a nearby street.

The team also used popular filming locations, namely this deserted building (src) already seen in Jeff Satur’s “Dum Dum” MV and in the Hidden messages video teasing Kinneporsche, as well as the sports complex Nightingale Rama Inthra Club (src) famous for being a shooting location of F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers. Director Lumpens shared his storyboard for the video on Instagram. MU:E did too (#1, #2, #3).

The dragon on SUGA's jacket is a symbol of royalty in Korea (src). It could a nod to "Daechwita" MV. Be it in the MV or in the choreography, SUGA is accompanied by 6 extra, reminding of the 6 other members of BTS.

Nam Hyunwoo, director of photography for all BTS MVs and some CFs, makes a cameo as a policeman in the background.

chloë and army film club noticed parallels between the MV and the movie Oldboy.

Thanks to the Episode, we know the video features the book The Logo Design Idea Book by Gail Andersen and Steven Heller, the issue 39 of Magazine B titled “Breville”, and the frontpage of two international editions of The New York Times, the one from the 17th of May 2022 and the other from the 16th of May 2022.

 As for the filming location, it was at the basketball court of the Juam-dong Sports Park and in a street nearby.

@btswingsjm7 noticed that one of the shirt Agust D wears is from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s collection, about the duality between one’s self image and the public preconceptions..

During the scene in front of the 202 flat, we can see custom-made flyers with phone numbers that mix the digits of SUGA’s birthday (9th March, 1993). The flyers on the door advertise delivery for Korean chicken, food and Hit Shopping products, with special promotions for Chuseok (Hit Shopping could be a nod to Big Hit). The flyer on the whole is for internet contracts and the one below is for a washing service. Concerning the little stickers they’re all locksmiths’ name and phone number.
