waterfalls is good. zaytoons was a favorite when i lived in boerum hill, but it's been years since i've eaten there.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:51 (fifteen years ago) link
i need to try both
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:52 (fifteen years ago) link
theres zaytoons in clinton hill n pros heights too
― Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:53 (fifteen years ago) link
i think i got the same exact thing every time i ate at zaytoons: lentil soup (it's the lemony, pureed kind) and a spinach pie, no cheese.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:54 (fifteen years ago) link
i have to tell you tho, a spinach pie with a little cheese that stretches and pulls with the dough...!!
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:55 (fifteen years ago) link
mm, I love lemony lentil soup
― Indiespace Administratester (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:55 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, agreed on the cheese. i was vegan for a while though.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:56 (fifteen years ago) link
man, those spinach pies are good. they're big, calzone-style ones, baked in delicious homemade pitas.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:57 (fifteen years ago) link
i love calzone style! i think that's a close approximation of heaven, one of those with soup
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 19:58 (fifteen years ago) link
i grew up with the small triangle spinach pies but i was a quick convert to calzone
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:00 (fifteen years ago) link
they both have their merits. damascus bakery on atl ave is good for buying bags of the little triangle guys.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:02 (fifteen years ago) link
they also have pistachio baklava.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:03 (fifteen years ago) link
zaytoons has made me ill many, many times, but i still eat there because they deliver late.
― ian, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:04 (fifteen years ago) link
wasn't someone else saying that about the pros hts location, too? that branch sounds like it has problems. i never had any issues with the original one (never ate meat there, though).
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:06 (fifteen years ago) link
so the place i was talking is actually Palestinian in Sunset Park (i know, how accurate am i). it's called Tanoreen and i've had the food delivery once OMG.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:08 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, that place! it's in bay ridge, i think? it's supposed to be wonderful. we almost went there for lunch on sunday, but went for mexican in sunset park instead.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:11 (fifteen years ago) link
yes yes bay ridge. arrrgh i wanna go NOW
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:12 (fifteen years ago) link
ian likely referring to the pros height zaytoons fwiw
― Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:13 (fifteen years ago) link
btw, lunch in sunset park ruled. went to la guera (aka ricos tamales) and had the most amazing soup (barbacoa) in addition to some great tamales and tacos .
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:19 (fifteen years ago) link
where should i eat while home? looking for something newish and pretty moderately priced (entrees under $20).
maybe dirt candy, which opened on 9th st in november? it's non-granola vegetarian in a cute little space.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:41 (fifteen years ago) link
wasn't someone else saying that about the pros hts location, too?
yeah, me. I won't go there anymore. it's the same one Ian's talking about, the one on Vanderbilt
― dmr, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:46 (fifteen years ago) link
but dave, where do you order food from after 11pm?!
― ian, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:49 (fifteen years ago) link
or are you one of those people who eats at reasonable hour?
not that reasonable ... but not usually after 11 either
after 10 there's still a couple options, although some are on the park slope side and may not go all the way back to you (Antonio's Pizza, Helios, Joy ...)
I think maybe Teddy's goes that late? I like their gyros
― dmr, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Tanoreen is awesome. Been twice, once on a "what's Bay Ridge like?" lark and then on the way back from buying my Mac at the Staten Island Mall Apple store.
Zaytoons is like family to me. I love it, but I'm sick of it, but it's always comforting.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 21:09 (fifteen years ago) link
fairly poor experiences with the smith street zaytoons
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 21:18 (fifteen years ago) link
aw. it used to be so good.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 21:26 (fifteen years ago) link
it's not bad, but thankfully i am nearer to Atlantic and all that resides there...

i.e. there is no need to go to zee casbah -- we are ALREADY HERE
Has anyone eaten at Irving Mill yet? I'm very interested in the charcrouterie (sic) plate they do.
― problem chimp (Porkpie), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link
we tried it. liked the plate and the restaurant very much. i'll mail you.

cheers dude

i finally had my first 5 guys experience* last night (the one on montague st). in-n-out, the gauntlet has been thrown. hard.
*lol "out of context" thread etc
― marjane satriani (get bent), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:16 (fifteen years ago) link
lol i think everyone who has eaten at five guys has spent plenty of time making the "i love to stuff my face with five guys" jokes
― beyonc'e (max), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:18 (fifteen years ago) link
in-n-out fans have their own special gallows humor.
― marjane satriani (get bent), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:22 (fifteen years ago) link
oh hey, max - where did you end up for your special birthday meal? i've been meaning to ask.
― lauren, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:23 (fifteen years ago) link
haha welllll we went to gramercy tavern and i was honestly sort of disappointed... ari hated it but i was just sort of nonplussed--the food was good but not great but the atmosphere was sort of terrible & steak house-y if that makes sense. not sure if it was an off night or what... id like to go back for the prix-fixe sometime! possibly had too high expectations?
― beyonc'e (max), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:31 (fifteen years ago) link
5 guize /= in-n-out </pedanticcalifornian>

― ian, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:33 (fifteen years ago) link
in and out is okay but not as good as five guys??
― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:33 (fifteen years ago) link
shake shack pwns both
― Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:33 (fifteen years ago) link
does that help my cause?
― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:34 (fifteen years ago) link
now that's more like it.
― ian, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:34 (fifteen years ago) link
*whew*
tho in n out gets points for being so cheap and fast
― Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:34 (fifteen years ago) link
no totally they do i agree with this
five guys is overrated. Shitty fries, too.
― Dandy Don Weiner, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:36 (fifteen years ago) link
no wai--five guys fries are what makes five guys so great
― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 22:37 (fifteen years ago) link
the things with the fries at five guys, is that they're really pretty good but they just give you so many that by the end it feels like yer eating salty packing peanuts.
