New York Restaurants

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.

yes yes bay ridge. arrrgh i wanna go NOW

ian likely referring to the pros height zaytoons fwiw

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 .

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.

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

but dave, where do you order food from after 11pm?!

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

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.

fairly poor experiences with the smith street zaytoons

aw. it used to be so good.

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.

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

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

in-n-out fans have their own special gallows humor.

oh hey, max - where did you end up for your special birthday meal? i've been meaning to ask.

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?

5 guize /= in-n-out </pedanticcalifornian>

habby happy bday max

in and out sucks

suggest bannage.

in and out is okay but not as good as five guys??

shake shack pwns both

does that help my cause?

now that's more like it.

*whew*

tho in n out gets points for being so cheap and fast

no totally they do i agree with this

five guys is overrated. Shitty fries, too.

no wai--five guys fries are what makes five guys so great

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.

i usually dont fuk w/the fries cause then im just uncomfortably full - once i did eat 2 double burgers - i was really hungry that time tho

yeah i think they've started to cut down on the number of fries they give you here in DC. last time we went we didn't feel toooo stuffed when we left. we usually split a small fries and we're totally blahgAHSghGAShlgS afterward with potatoes

^^

also i was really dissapointed by in and out fries--i got them well done and everything

i been there dont remember how i liked it lol drunk xp

five guys is only "ok"

POUTINE DO U C

ur the same person who doesnt like fried food right xp

five guys is good, in n out is good, shake shack is good

all of them are good and have good burgers frankly

you know what else is good--goodburger
