The fact that he's trying to listen to the Shins is hurting his cred with me, but the content of that "service disruption" sign is possibly the funniest thing in the strip.

hahaha they had one of those belgian fry guy statues in athens ga

I was looking at the Alligator Lounge site and it turns out they're opening a location on 7th St and 2nd Ave.

the thing I always notice about the fry guy is that he's eating himself

― Renard (Renard), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 16:51 (seventeen years ago) link

also hurting his cred:
chipotle can't suck if they've given me at least 10 free burritos since 2004
dude said "hungry man"-esque
(also: velselka ain't bad)
graphic designer dead horse
faggy last frame

but yeah that fry guy is somethin else...

the only good thing there is Dojo because it is fucking cheap

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

in my poorer days i frequented toy sushi, the place that started doing half price sushi after 9/11. they push enough volume of fish that it was actually pretty good.

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

dojo is so nasty, though. my friend found a large-ish metal bolt in here salad the last time i was at that branch. go, yakitori taisho, and oh-taisho are all pretty good, and then there's grand sichuan - delicious.

last time i was at dojo my friend tried to skimp on the bill and they caught us and he had to go to an ATM and get money and i had to stand there and wait for him and it was really embarassing. so.

is that place (chickpea) on like... 13 & 3d? i think my best friend lives right above that place. if you look down from his window you see the heads of eaters.

― killy (baby lenin pin), Friday, 9 June 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

no, it's 3rd and st marks, next to the continental, where the pizza place used to be, where it was really hot one day so I bought a bottle of Evian and Joey Ramone was standing behind me and he said "yeah, that sounds good today, a nice cold bottle of Evian."

true story.

YELLOWCARDS FOR ALL CHICKPEA FANS!

religious sex closed, but t&v is still there.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:37 (seventeen years ago) link

personal preference. i like moist, smaller, green-spiced felafel not the bigger dried out yellowish kind. also, they bake their own bread and have mango hot sauce.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

the yellowcard is adorable!!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

fine, more moist felafels, creamy hummus, fluffy pitas, hot israelis for me. more bland, dry, dojo burgers, stale sprouts, and carrot-ginger slop for you.

i just switched over from punjabi to pak punjab, way better. theres an east village insider tip for y'all. the spinach in particular is way way better than mashy "greens"

― noizem duke (noize duke), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Chickpea is fucking crumbly tasteless garbage next to the sublime falafel of EAST SIDE POCKETS (which I ate for 4 years for lunch). In addition, so many more ingredients in the pockets!!

Daria, Ian, Elmo.Oxygen, Laura H, MILFMCGEE, to thread to confirm

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

pak punjab

location?

Pwnjabi tastes like microwave indian food :(

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:46 (seventeen years ago) link

are any of these village falafels better than Alfanoose? Taim?

Would you agree to its (FUCKING VAST) superiority to Chickpea?

Sidenote: my friend's schizophrenic mother had an affair with one of the dudes there!

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Good places to eat include:
KLONG for the 6.50 pad thai shrimp/fried tofu
That grocery store under the Chipotle. Six dollar massive deli sandwiches and they don't charge for adding avocado
Chickpea is fine every once in awhile. They have good honeycake!

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

pak punjab is on 2nd and 3rd or 4th, if it's the one i'm thinking of. it was my post-mars bar stop for quite some time. volcanically spicy samosas.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I dined & dashed at some crappy new pan-asian on St. Mark's in March
Chikpea is good for stopping in to take a leak -- (pull door hard)

And is anyone else diggin Rai Rai Ken?

― /4 LFG PST (blastocyst), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:53 (seventeen years ago) link

rrk is definitely better than a lot of e.v. ramen.

― lord pooperton (ex machina), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

never had chickpea! so i cannot compare.

i kinda like veselka, though! i used to work in the same building (ukranian national home, i think it's called) and they do a nice bacon egg & cheez on a big crusty roll, which i would eat for breakfast at least twice a week.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Friday, 9 June 2006 16:58 (seventeen years ago) link

veselka's mostly fine, but i'm just as happy paying less for more unrefined versions of the same thing at little poland or christine's or polonia.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 June 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Veselkas best at three in the morning.
Little Poland is much better in general. I like the Hungry Man combo platter.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 9 June 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Alfanoose pwns

I work near Wall St so I have it at least once a week

they even have a manifesto "every falafel ball is formed and fried especially for you"
