i found a business card this weekend from Planet Thailand.

i''m bored, so i did a search for pupusas on the chowhound board. apparently, the salvadoran immigrant community is mainly clustered in queens with a few strongholds in brooklyn, so no restaurants to speak of in manhattan (although at this point they probably represent a large part of mexican restaurant kitchen staff). there is mention of a place called pupuseria san miguel that opened in 2000 on e.109th between 1st and 2nd, but i have no idea if it's still there.

three months pass...

No one here has yet mentioned Mamoun's. It's way close to NYU which can either be a good or bad thing, but if there is a better place to get great falafels and UTTERLY GODLY shawarma (especially for $4 and under), please enlighten me.

― lemin (lemin), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 00:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Everyone at NYU sweats Mamoun's and Dojo (the latter of which is very overrated). Do they give out coupons in the freshman orientation kit or something?

May I add, in spite of it's touristy location in Union Square, Republic is an awesome cheap noodle shop.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 00:56 (nineteen years ago) link

$2 for falafels and $4 for shawarma needs no coupons, and it helps that 1. the food is amazing and 2. it's open all night. Dojo does suck though. There's absolutely no reason to go there at all.

― lemin (lemin), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 00:59 (nineteen years ago) link

the carrot-tahini dressing is wonderful, and you can buy it in tubs to go so you don't have to look at nyu students eating seaweed burgers.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:00 (nineteen years ago) link

two favorite resturaunts at the moment, both in billyburg: diner and dumont. diner's specials -- especially the fish -- are amazing, and dumont's hanger steak w/ mashed potatoes is GODLY.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:28 (nineteen years ago) link

i like the jamaican place right south of the park. i forgot the name. like carribbean sunshine, or island flavors, or something like that. tasty beef patties, coco bread, ting, jerk chicken, goat curry, etc.

go to mamouns and ask for the 'special felafel'.

my two favorite restaurants at the moment, kirara - incredible sushi place at moderate prices on carmine/bleecker. el maguey y la tuna - mexican food on houston/attorney. spicy pork & pineapple burrito, yum.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh I'll have to go by Moumon's then.

My fav restaurant is Artisanal when my parents are paying.

(Hi Phil, Yanc3y and Lauren)

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:36 (nineteen years ago) link

yanc3y otm. I am going to miss Fatoosh's insanely good and cheap($3) lentil soup this winter. Actually everything at Fatoosh is good and cheap. it's in brooklyn heights. zattar bread!

― Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Where is Fatoosh's?

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:42 (nineteen years ago) link

shouldn't you be at the library, aaron?

megu and union square cafe are my two fave places. when someone else is paying.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:45 (nineteen years ago) link

The Voice's Robert Sietsema is usually OTM for cheap ethnic stuff.

But one he hasn't found yet: Radjhani (sp?) in Jackson Heights, Queens. AMAZING Indian food very cheap.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:49 (nineteen years ago) link

My Jackson Heights pick is Ashoka.

― Cripps Pink (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:49 (nineteen years ago) link

who needs cheap ethnic stuff when you can get $28 edamame at megu.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 01:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Aaron, it is on Hicks St, just north of Atlantic Ave

― Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I've recently decided I'm completely finished with anything over $10 an entree in New York that's not fucking ASTOUNDING. I'm not just being one of those snobbish anti-snobs, I've just already given too many hours of my labor to pay for mediocre food with fancy sounding ingredients.

― Hurting (Hurting), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:12 (nineteen years ago) link

i foresee a lot of beans, rice, felafel, noodles, and general tso's chicken in your future.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:18 (nineteen years ago) link

b&h dairy restaurant on 2nd avenue between 7th and st. marks is one of the best under $10 places.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:20 (nineteen years ago) link

no more Sam's Felafel Stand. : (

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:21 (nineteen years ago) link

i can't believe someone actually used BoCoCa upthread. I had only seen it in the promotional literature for the shops.

― Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 02:49 (nineteen years ago) link

one year passes...

I finally got pupusas today even though I have been thinking about it since this thread.

― Mendoza Lineman (Carey), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 03:36 (eighteen years ago) link

has anyone gotten a hold of the michelin guide yet?

― america's next top ramen (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 03:42 (eighteen years ago) link

This is not related to restaurants, but it didn't seem worthy of its own thread.

Where's a good place to buy men's dress shoes in the Upper West side (59th and above)? I have to buy some tomorrow afternoon, and I only have an hour or so.

― Super Cub (Debito), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 04:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Tip Top Shoes, 72nd St East of Bway

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 04:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Thank you gabbneb, sage of New York.

― Super Cub (Debito), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 04:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Taza de Oro for awesome cheap Puerto Rican food. I forget where it is but I remember walking there from Chelsea

― Hurting (Hurting), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 04:42 (eighteen years ago) link

pupusas from bahia? yum yum yum!

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 07:42 (eighteen years ago) link

two months pass...

am i the only one who didn't know Al Yeganeh had franchised? are the branches anything like the original?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 12 January 2006 18:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Al Yeganeh, founder of the Soup Kitchen International restaurant, located in New York City, has been producing premium, gourmet soups for loyal devotees since 1984. Locals and tourists alike have waited for hours for a taste of his heralded lobster bisque. His persona, as well as his soup, abruptly went international with the 1995 airing of the famous "soup" episode of "Seinfeld," which featured a character based on Mr. Yeganeh.

CHEAP CHOW NOW

― GET EQUIPPED WITH BUBBLE LEAD (ex machina), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:13 (eighteen years ago) link

They're just now opening one right across from Tom's Restaurant. Which I suppose is great news for that real-Kramer jackass and his damnable bus tour.

Hands up if you spend time in Morningside Heights and are creeped out that Ed listed Deluxe as a great NYC restaurant! Foreign objects I have found in my food there: cellophane, hair, bacon-encased pebble. Longest I have ever waited there for a medium-rare hamburger: one and one-half hours. What everything there tastes like: everything else there.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Ugh Deluxe wtf. Every time I've been there has been like an 8 hour excursion in waiting for someone to bring me a goddamned menu/drink/food etc.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd still like to go to Veselka, though I'm betting it's no better than Alycia's (it was John Candy's favourite so you know it's artery-clogging good) here in Winnipeg. Casuistry may be able to shoot that thought down. I'll probably never make it back to NYC again so it won't matter.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:34 (eighteen years ago) link

veselka's pretty good, and i've always had decent service there. lotta variety on the menu, but their ukranian food doesn't suffer for it.

― 2 columbus circle in 1964 (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 12 January 2006 19:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Peter Luger serves somes tasty prime rib, my brethren.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:18 (eighteen years ago) link

The waitress I had when I went to Veselka with geeta and Alex in SF was not the greatest, but I still like it.

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:22 (eighteen years ago) link

last time i was there (a month ago), the waiter got all the orders right and the food came quickly. works for me!

― yvette yreka (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:25 (eighteen years ago) link

you know what's really really good at veselka? Chicken salad. That's my 5 am dinner, Chicken salad on toasted challah, with a side of potato salad. And a lentil soup. It's the thick kind, not the kind that's just broth with some lentils floating in it, more like lentil chilly.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:36 (eighteen years ago) link

their challah is perfect. it has the consistency of a very dense cake.

― yvette yreka (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 12 January 2006 21:38 (eighteen years ago) link
