Chimera BMX

USE CODE JOHNNYPRIME FOR $150 OFF YOUR CHIMERA

If you’re not already aware, I’ve been getting pretty deep into the ebike culture and community here in NYC. I run the NYC Zooz Club and I helped create Electric Wednesday with Mike Rios of S3 Crew. Electric Wednesday is the glue that holds the various riding clubs together here in NYC. We’ve created something really special.

While I still have and love my Zooz, I have to say the Chimera blows it out of the water in every way. I’ve been featuring it prominently on my Youtube account.

Here’s my unboxing and assembly video:

Here is a first ride video:

And, since I know you’re ultimately here for food and not bikes, I have been using it to go to and from restaurants in a new series I created called Ride & Review!

Finally, if you’re interested in buying a Chimera, you can save $150 by using my discount code at checkout. The code is JOHNNYPRIME.

I own the founders edition, bike number 5, in full titanium.

It’s costly, but now Austin, the creator of the bike, offers a Shadow Chimera, which is made of black steel. That will cut your price nearly in half. DO IT!!!

First, check out my Ride & Review HERE:

I’ve been meaning to eat here for so long. After seeing the menu during a short visit with The Cake Dealer for a drink, I was even more convinced. So we finally made it happen.

We started with the lamb loin chops (two t-bones) and the beans.

The lamb was perfectly cooked to medium rare, and came as a composed dish with grilled escarole. I loved this. No game flavor, just really simply grilled with salt and pepper.

Next, we had the rabbit pot pie, which was on special. It was beautifully presented, but here’s a shot of the pie after we cracked it open.

…I should call her…

Anyway, lots of nicely cooked rabbit – which I love – totally under utilized protein – as well as assorted mushrooms, celery, carrots, and onions.

We also did a side of artichokes, which also came with onions, carrots and celery, served as a cold dish with a hint of curry flavor.

And finally, the rib eye.

This 18oz boneless cut was dry aged and grilled to perfection. The aged flavor was mild, but it was all so tender and delicious. Very nicely seasoned, and the fried onions and garlic that come with it are heavenly. 9/10. The only down side to this steak is that it cost $86. Crazy!

I can’t wait to come back here – already booked my next reservation.

I came back for the porterhouse! It was a solid 8/10. The rib eye is clearly the winner here.

First and foremost, check out my Ride & Review video HERE on YouTube:

This small sushi counter offers an $88 omakase, which consists of two appetizers, ten pieces of nigiri sushi, two hand rolls and a bite of dessert. Here are the two apps:

The nigiri:

This tuna with truffle oil was so good:

Scallop with uni – delicious:

Since my wife can’t have scallop, they gave her this uni piece instead:

This salmon with shaved manchego cheese was wildly unique:

Below is the chef, and the final piece (which was our favorite): Fatty tuna belly with caviar and truffle oil.

The hand rolls (eel + foie gras, and tuna) and dessert (melon):

This is probably one of the best deals I’ve come across when you line it up with quality and portion sizes. I left full/satisfied, and every bite was better than the last. The staff was super nice and offered us a free shot of yuzu sake in return for us offering the chef a glass of our wine.

I highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be going again, as their BYOB policy is a very attractive lure!
