There are several very good ones on 2nd and 4th, just away from the F stop on 2nd Ave. The tiramisu at Frutti di Mare was really good but I haven't been there in like a year so I can't vouch for current goodness. They were all good though a year ago, and cheap.

Locanda Vini is a half block away from my house.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:23 (twenty years ago) link

Do you go there?

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:46 (twenty years ago) link

of course! Although it is a little pricey and I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on eating out these days, I have eaten there.

what about that malaysian place off, er, doyers st?

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 11:52 (twenty years ago) link

is it downstairs? maybe it's malaysia indonesia? i've been there once and liked it, but my favorite is sentosa on allen and canal (right next to another, not as good malaysian restaurant) - AMAZING. also, there's a tiny little shop on (i think) pell and doyers that has sweets/desserts and a few steam table dishes. never had the latter, but the it's a great place to get fun little treats to go (green coconut jelly, custard wrapped in banana leaf, etc).

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 12:48 (twenty years ago) link

its not on doyers i think, but theres like a covered alleyway/precint thing, maybe off elizabeth st.

doyers st is the one with vietnam on isnt it?

― charltonlido (gareth), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 13:01 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, vietnam is on doyers.
gah. this is bugging me. i don't think i know what restaurant you mean, but a covered alleway sounds intriguing. there's a small shop on elizabeth that makes malaysian-style beef jerky, but that's just a counter. oh, wait... maybe it's new malaysia in the chinatown arcade? that's between bowery and elizabeth. haven't been there in a few years, but i remember it being excellent.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 13:39 (twenty years ago) link

between bowery and elizabeth sounds about right i think

Is the place they had on NBC still around?

I think I know the answer, but can anyone tell me definitively whether one can find pupusas on the Upper East Side? Is there maybe a Mexican restaurant run by Salvadorans that makes them? Off the menu somewhere?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Sunday, 20 June 2004 14:04 (nineteen years ago) link

you should do a search on chowhound.com. if they can't help you, then you're out of luck. if you feel like a trip to brooklyn, el viejo yayo on 5th avenue between bergen and dean makes very tasty pupusas.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 20 June 2004 17:46 (nineteen years ago) link

not that this helps, but there's a great pupasaria (sp?) near Grand and Graham, I think.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 21 June 2004 02:12 (nineteen years ago) link

el viejo yayo = the old cocaine??!?!?!? heh.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 21 June 2004 02:12 (nineteen years ago) link

el viejo yayo

tony montana's favorite pupusa joint!

If I'd had time hstencil I was going to take you for dinner at La Fiesta here in Winnipeg. Their pupusas are friggin' good as are their burrito poderosos, which are burritos the size of your arm.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 21 June 2004 02:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I would've liked that, it sounds good. The burritos I got elsewhere in Canada were pretty horrible.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 21 June 2004 02:19 (nineteen years ago) link

As I've mentioned elsewhere I think the highlight of La Fiesta is José, the little owner guy, serenading the patrons with crazy sounding Spanish love songs while wearing a sombrero.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 21 June 2004 02:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks for the info.

Grand and Graham

Is this in BoCoCa?

Williamsburg/Bushwick - WIBUWIBU?

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 21 June 2004 02:57 (nineteen years ago) link

maybe WIBUBUWI?

i found a business card this weekend from Planet Thailand.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 21 June 2004 15:59 (nineteen years ago) link

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.

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.
