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.

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 SaladBBQ Pork with Chili/Lime/Garlic appetizerTom Kha GaiPork with Mustard Greens soupWhole steamed bass with soy, ginger and scallionCoconut 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, Saturday, 26 December 2009 05:57 (fourteen years ago) link
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?
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Thursday, 18 February 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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

― janice (surm), Tuesday, 6 July 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
i really want to go there, but haven't.new italian place for ft greenhttp://newyork.grubstreet.com/2010/07/first_look_at_dino_serving_nor.htmlmaybe not too exciting, but could be good for simple dishes, prices more reasonable than roman's.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link
it's so
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 13:37 (thirteen years ago) link

(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
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 13:39 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 14:02 (thirteen years ago) link
omg ! that's the same exact dinner i got!
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 14:07 (thirteen years ago) link
might try A Bistro tonight http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/abistro/
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Loved it. Got the "fried chicken". Which isn't battered and fried chicken, totally different. Been twice. Tiny place but really awesome.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:08 (thirteen years ago) link
very cool. is it air conditioned? very pricey?
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link
really been wanting to go there
also it's in prospect heights and I won't let ft greene steal the glory
― dmr, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:49 (thirteen years ago) link
oh right, right. sorry :)
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:51 (thirteen years ago) link
SORRY!

that and the duck leg confit with mango jerk sauce look awesome
― dmr, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link
o and dmr i tried James. really nice!
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:58 (thirteen years ago) link
don't remember if A Bistro is a/c, but it's probably pricey. It's a fancy little reservation type place, I think.
But worth it, our meals were pretty great!
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 16:21 (thirteen years ago) link
you go to the crepe place yet dan?
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
No, we haven't. Any good?
Saw Siestama wrote about the Brazillian/Tibetan fusion place around the corner but it still looks empty. We went once and it was really good, but a bit pricey for the hood.
Went back to Richmond Hill last night to explore trinidadian food, got some doubles then went looking for another place but everything was closing by 8:30/9 for some reason.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I had a really good meal at ofrenda last week, like my first taste of 'real real' mexican food
― dyao, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 13:35 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah! I mean they're a bit expensive for the neighborhood, but the woman who makes them def knows what she's doing. very nice people too.
― iatee, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 13:42 (thirteen years ago) link
haha I didn't see that you wrote 'pricey for the hood' before I wrote that - so easy to get that mindset here
