Authentic Chinese Food

Hi I am looking for authentic Chinese food (thats very spicy) in the Bronx thats at least comparable to Flushing. I dont want any American Chinese places that do takeout with fortune cookies. I am looking for things that Americans dont typically eat and where the clientele is mostly Chinese.

Thank you!

[TOMT] [Flash Cartoon] [90s/2000s] Grandpa playing Scrabble with Kid Flash Cartoon

Folks, help me find this old flash cartoon which I think was made by the creators of Penny Arcade (similar art style?). It was on sites like newsgrounds or ebaumsworld in late 90s/early 2000s.

I’m trying to find an old animated short I saw about 20 years ago. It takes place in a sunny city park with a grandpa and grandson playing Scrabble at a table while jolly music plays and birds chirp. The kid keeps dropping late-90s/early-2000s gamer slang like “pwned” or “uber,” confusing the grandpa, while his wild imagination transforms the background into scenes of aliens or monsters attacking the city as he describes his gaming exploits.

At one point, the boy plays the word “p!mpslapped” (the “i” replaced by an exclamation mark) gets played on the Scrabble board. The grandpa protests it’s not a real word. This leads the boy to use it as an example describing vividly a counterstrike match where the word Pimp is drowned by a sniper shot from an animated counter-terrorist player. Kid gets really excited and his imagination leads him to describe gamer matches with aliens or godzilla blowing up the city in the background. After the torrent of 90s gamer slang ends it is grandpa's turn.

He places weird characters with dashes and numbers on the scrabble board and when his grandson calls him out for it grandpa reveals that it’s actually the name of his Counter-Strike clan to the shock of the boy. The cartoon ends with the grandpa loudly repeating “Pimpslapped! Pimpslapped!” It was hilarious, but I can’t find it anywhere now.

Adult Debate in NYC area

I was wondering if there is a place one can go practice debating as an adult. Looking to practice giving arguments in court for a lawyer-in-training. I did some googling and almost all debate classes are for high school students or are done via zoom an I am looking for in-person experience. This seems to be the same for Moot Court (students only). I am looking for classes/events and am happy to pay for the service. Thank you!
