I'm kinda psyched for the Checkers since it's around the corner from school/home. Granted I haven't had Checkers in like 8 years so I don't know if it's as good as I remember.
Meanwhile, seeing as I practically work in Chinatown, any Chinatown recs for lunch? So far I've tried Excellent Dumpling House (very good) and Tasty Dumpling (meh), and I'm already a fan of Vegetarian Dim Sum House on Pell. I also tried some Pho shop that was meh.

noodles at super taste (eldrige just south of canal) are the best.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 18:56 (fifteen years ago) link
soup dumplings at joe's on pell st or shanghai cafe on mott st.

if you ever find yourself on the UWS around brunch time hit up Calle Ocho and get drunk on unlimited sangrias for the price of an entrée.

I can't pretend I didn't eat at Joe Jr's maybe once a month mostly because of the convenient location and cuz I could sit at the same half-table near the door that John Waters liked, but I'll still miss it.

one night only? sold out? dude just needs to open a joint here tbh.
― ian, Wednesday, 16 September 2009 04:50 (fifteen years ago) link
since they sold out of $65 tickets, I'm sure he will before long
― dan m, Wednesday, 16 September 2009 04:52 (fifteen years ago) link
they don't serve beer here though, that is an interesting addition
duck fat fries are not worth the hype imo
i've had duck fat fries before--they were good, but yeah, not significantly better than any other good french fry.

Andrew Tarlow and Mark Firth of Marlow and Sons, etc., have decided on a name for their redo of Bonita in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. It will be called Roman’s. It’s the name of Mr. Tarlow’s son, and has nothing to do with the food at the restaurant, which will be opening in a couple of weeks.http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/16/names-in-the-news/

Where should I eat tonight?
I never eat out - I live on takeout and groceries. This is sort of a special occaision, so unfortuantely no "hole(s)-in-the wall with the best ____ ever!".
Conditions:Manhattan below 42nd st or somewhere along B/D/Q/2/3/4/5 in BK.Great foodCasual but nice atmosphereBar 'cause I am going soloReasonable price (around $40 for salad + entree, 2 beers and a tip)
I can't seem to narrow down a cuisine but I know I don't want East Asian cuisine unless the cooking is interesting or unique - I eat plenty of standard Thai/Vietnamese/Chinese for lunch.

Jimmy's Diner is goody for greasy comfort food--burgers, wings, friedy chicken.

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.
― ian, Thursday, 12 November 2009 23:40 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't really have a go-to thai spot. i kinda like thai thai on bedford.
