here's a breaking-news story adam schefter: eff u_u. he's not what i pictured at all

man i am just trying to bring joy to the world ok

Tipsy -- not a zillion bucks, no. Been twice and enjoyed both. Don't know your tastes, but I've enjoyed a lot of the early plates (little fried meatballs are fun, and there's a variety of high-quality parmesans, balsamics, and prosciuttos that are a treat to savor one flavor at a time); pretty good pastas in that $16-$20 range that could get you crap pasta somewhere else; and ... actually, entree-wise, I've only had their grilled baby octopus, which is straightforwardly tasty.

I can't think of much about the place that'd be bothersome or disappointing: prices aren't bad and food's solid. (Though it's no Smith's, down MacDougal.)

this is somehow even worse that the blockbuster horror move the ruins. or, more topically, the pizza options available in tribeca

hey did anyone here ever get more 411 about char 4 re: foods

"treat to savor one flavor at a time" -- that sounds like Gene Shalit doing restaurants or something, sorry; I just mean tasting those particularly good things almost individually and finding yourself saying, e.g., "okay, now that's a delicious vinegar." I could happily sit at the bar there just eating Reggiano and balsamic on bread.

theres a store in la, in los feliz, that does some srs shit w/ balsamic, $40 .5 liter bottles, im sure nyc has a similar store, but my point is just that good balsamic vinegar is l.e.g.i.t. and if i was rich i would never buy anything else

wait -- you are not rich??

i invested in bernie madoff :( :( :(

oh condolences :(

had brunch here and it was good but not special. the bacon was certainly really tasty and not surprisingly the high point although i think the do a fig jam that is supposed to be good. a little $$ but not bad value

thx nabisco. sounds like what we're looking for. plus i've heard the wines are good.

(as i guess the name implies...)

so no. 7 has become a fast fixture. i also just tried the bar menu. the fry plate is great (i dunno if i already said that). you get a LOT of fries -- they're like really crispy. like chips. really good balsamic mayo.

also i can't get enough of that fried broccoli. i wanna sit at the bar tomorrow and just have one of those with a glass of wine. yum.

i guess i should probably try this at some point.

totally forgot i took this

i was once told by a dancer that mortadella means "dead donkey" in italian

I could walk to Lexington and 25th for Baoguette during the week, but am closer to Hill Country on 26th near 6th.

my ex roommate dated a girl from turkey named deniz. she was super fly.

i kicked it here tonight, nice joint. yeah, overpriced & gentrified but i'm old and can't handle the younger w'burg scene. excellent cocktails fwiw.

where should I have lunch tomorrow on LSE/Soho, Vic and I are having our Aidan-free day , we have dinner sorted (Irving Mill) and are booked for touristy goodness up the rockefeller at 4 for the sunrise photo opps, but I'm stuck for eating (other than sampling some lab di gelato wares). Any not too pricey, relaxed ideas?

omfg cram you did not

ha

it's called "weather up" and they have $11 cocktails apparently.

this place is kind of full of shit

they have these beautiful little cocktail glasses for some of the $11+ drinks, that can hold a shot

one shot.

Lol surmo no offense but if you're paying $11 for a cocktail you're basically asking to get ripped off btw I've been to little branch etc more than once he point being if you're looking for bang for your buck go to applebees and get a long island ice tea

you're right, i know you're right. it's just the place has AIRS man yknow?

omg i did go to that applebees recently, i been wanting to go for like years.

weather up is one of the worst bars in a neigborhood with no shortage of crappy bars.

i went there once

yeah same. it was ok. not really hot to go back

i dont really want to get pulled into defending the place since i have no real allegiance for it but it didnt seem like such a terrible place to me, it just has a 'steez' and i guess if u dislike the 'steez' youd probably hate it but... why would you go to such a bar in the first place.

'ugh i hate that bar cattyshack, too many lesbians'

2) Prospect Heights: It's so nice when proprietors do the work for us: "I wanted to "tip" you guys off on a new place in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Its called Cornelius and is the collaboration of the folks from Franklin Park, Soda and Le Gamin. The focus is many, many, many whiskeys, bourbons and vodkas and I'm serving up some American comfort small plates. We are opening Monday, January 12th. Please come check it out. Cornelius is at 565 Vanderbilt Ave. at Pacific St." Nice presentation and approach for Brooklyn, go early and brace for crowds. [POST-PLYWOOD]

lol just say tater tots

Shopsin's lives up to the hype, y'all.

lol just say tater tots

I was more focused on the many, many, many bourbons

I ate at Bellavitea last week and kinda wondered how Tipsy wound up liking it.

Re: expensive cocktails I'm tempted to say it's something you're best off going all in on -- e.g., if you want to have a fancy-cocktail night, go to one of the first-wave places with $20 drinks and enjoy them and don't worry about it,* because I get the feeling any place jumping on the trend and serving tiny $10 fancy cocktails is going to be a bust, in addition to making you stand at the bar watching drinks get mixed exactly twice as often.

(* If this is really difficult, maybe the trick is to have beans for dinner at home and just figure the hundred you dropped on fancy interesting drinks everyone loved and discussed might even cost slightly less than what you'd spend on a nice restaurant and five regular-priced drinks.)

okay I don't think how one feels about Weather Up has anything to do with liking expensive cocktails or not. I am one of the primo cocktail snobs on ILX and I love the hell out of snooty cocktail bars but I called that place out for being shit on this thread months ago.
