New York Restaurants

delivery is one of the main reasons i live in ny - thx for the recommends - feel free to post more anytime

btw been enjoying la burrito on bedford n grand - cheap lil charmer

that place is deece. i like their enchiladas.

im feelin the vibes in there

avoid dumont burger. for delivery burger i dunno what to tell ya, but for good sit-down burger i enjoy Spikehill. during the day is best as it can get busy in there at night.

i don't really have a go-to thai spot. i kinda like thai thai on bedford.

red bowl is a step above plexiglass chinese food but not a big one.

free bagel brunch at the brooklyn ale house on weekends.

actually, now that i think of it, M Shanghai is great chinese food. I should go there soon, haven't been for at least a year. Fette Sau is good bbq but no delivery--they do takeout tho.

yeah luv both of those

taco truck can suck it imo.
the food truck on north 3rd between berry & wythe is cool. corn dogs, fish n chips.yy

also no delivery but my deli of choice is at north 7th & driggs--Joe's Busy Corner. great sandwiches.

falafel joint by the L train is aight. i like the bagel store on north 3rd & bedford--large chili and a pumpernickel bagel is a great lunch on rainy days.

the ramen place in greenpoint is still planning on opening, 2 years on...

i think it has to do with permitting and tax forms for multi-national companies, i say this only because it took Ippudo forever to open as well (but not 2 years wtf).

Finally tried SriPraPhai - quite good. We had

Papaya Salad
BBQ Pork with Chili/Lime/Garlic appetizer
Tom Kha Gai
Pork with Mustard Greens soup
Whole steamed bass with soy, ginger and scallion
Coconut ice cream (which had large pieces of coconut meat in it and some kind of strange covering)

Everything was very good. Need to go back with someone who can handle spicy food (the lady cannot, unfortunately).

i LOVE that place so so so much. crispy pork with chinese broccoli ftw. and the whole fish I had there was fantastic; I don't remember the particulars though. and the salads.

ian, how many time's do I have to say it? Zabb Queen's Crispy Pork w/ Chinese Broccoli makes me unable to even eat Srips! It's that much better.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO ZABB QUEENS.

I have tentative plans to go to Franny's tomorrow night. Good reviews from ian and icey are encouraging. Anyone else been there? Also, will the wait be ridiculous?

franny's is great, especially for the appetizers/ vegetable dishes; don't just get pizza. i never go on weekends cause i assume the wait will be bad, but not sure.

any tips on a Japanese place that serves good sukiyaki?

going to convivium in park slope tonight, people like it /fingers crossed

lol at the huge beauquet of twigs on the bar

Franny's was very good, btw. I was in a bit of a rush, so I just got pizza, but it did not disappoint. I had the buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, oregano, and hot peppers -- really nice balance between the sweet creaminess of the ricotta and the kick of the peppers. And the crust was thin but nicely doughy -- I've been to other Neapolitan places where it's too flimsy, so this was appreciated.

still have not been to franny's

they're opening a sister restaurant to Joya right across from my house. excited.

Finally tried Convivium and the abovementioned steak. It was very good.

i really want to go there, but haven't.
new italian place for ft green
http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2010/07/first_look_at_dino_serving_nor.html
maybe not too exciting, but could be good for simple dishes, prices more reasonable than roman's.

it's so

so

good

(mizzell -- dino, that is. have you been yet? i got the spaghetti w/ lemon and parmesan, and a salad, and all of it was quite simply perfect - o and some delicious bitter herbs crostini)

also ft greene's Kaz A Nou is wonderful

i went and i got that lemon parmesan dish. simple, delicious, executed very well. also got a fennel salad, i think. salad was actually too big. good portions for the price.

omg ! that's the same exact dinner i got!

might try A Bistro tonight http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/abistro/

Loved it. Got the "fried chicken". Which isn't battered and fried chicken, totally different. Been twice. Tiny place but really awesome.

very cool. is it air conditioned? very pricey?

also ft greene's Kaz A Nou is wonderful

really been wanting to go there

also it's in prospect heights and I won't let ft greene steal the glory

oh right, right. sorry :)

SORRY!

get the jerk chicken breast. you will be happy.

that and the duck leg confit with mango jerk sauce look awesome
