1st went to a mall and ate some kinda meh noodles from the food court then yummy soup dumplings and crispy rice cakes at place on prince then a scallion pancake from a window some banging bbq lamb from a street vendor bubble drinks which im not a huge fan of then too late for dim sum at perfect team corp tho we did receive the name the perfect team corp team then dungeness crab and sticky rice at this place on 138th at main
cant remember the names tho i could prob figure them out if anyone simply must know - i had some pretty good foods but nothing quite mind blowing - we really didnt prepare v well just sort of wandered around and went to different place than we planned on - totally fun tho

― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link
omg you're right about the no transfer at Bedford! i knew i was enjoying that transit much more lately
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 16:13 (fifteen years ago) link
btw accepting suggestions for next flushing outing

max if you're taking the a to b'way junction you can just get on the j instead of the l -- it's less stops. of course, the j is the universe's worst train so you know it might just depend on whether you prefer to take forever while sitting inside a train, or take forever waiting outside for one to show up.

― max, Monday, 6 October 2008 16:21 (fifteen years ago) link

― lauren, Monday, 6 October 2008 16:22 (fifteen years ago) link
also, those lamb skewers from the street vendor are so good - so spicy and fatty.
sweetwater used to be a great dive bar, now it seems like a ho-hum new american bistro.

if you like naeng myun (the cold noodle dish), this place is great: http://www.chow.com/places/3295they make their own noodles, i think. dumplings were also very good. not as good as the dumplings they make at the snack hut attached to hanyan mart at 151st and northern, though. their kimchee mandu are incredible. you can also get a really unexpected snack food there, but i'm not going to ruin the surprise.
― lauren, Monday, 6 October 2008 16:29 (fifteen years ago) link
lol went to 5 of the places on that map - couldnt find the gloden mall tho :(
xp
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Monday, 6 October 2008 16:31 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, and there's a bon chon chicken and kyo chon and god knows how many other fried chicken joints. there are so many places along northern blvd that you can just wander around and stuff yourself. you need to use the lirr, though.

sweetwater is ok, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there
and yeah it was better as a bar
I'm glad the G train is better, my beef was pretty much what Mizzell said, if I ever rode it it was to try to get to Warsaw on a Saturday night or something, it would be running in sections and take for fucking everrrr
― dmr, Monday, 6 October 2008 17:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Sweetwater has good onion rings. Or they did four years ago when I last ate there.

mmm, i just had one of those lamb skewers for lunch in elmhurst and passed by a malaysian place called Taste Good, which had a very positive Sietsema review in the window. anyone been there?
― mizzell, Monday, 6 October 2008 19:02 (fifteen years ago) link
lol nice yelp review asshole(2 stars)i don't think it's great since i have no memory of being there but i know i have since i always bring back a menu or business card.
― mizzell, Monday, 6 October 2008 19:07 (fifteen years ago) link
BAHAHAHAHAHA
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 19:19 (fifteen years ago) link
finally had one of those spicy cumin lamb hamburgers at the flushing mall basement. Pretty damn good.
good find though a few weeks back, walking down broadway in elmhurst (past tastes good) almost at Queens BLVD there's a big asian market with food service, they had these egg and scalion pancakes that were amazing.
― dan selzer, Monday, 6 October 2008 21:43 (fifteen years ago) link
attn max: have you been to peaches on lewis and macdonough? it's right down street from our old apt and i just read a review of it (it is brand new), i was wondering if it was worth going back to the neighb for. it is by smoke joint ppl.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 14:30 (fifteen years ago) link
aw man whyd u move, my girl lives on stuyvesant we coulda been bed stuy buddies
― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 14:34 (fifteen years ago) link
n e way this is what i said upthred:
"peaches" in bed stuy has got some good nu-americana or whatever you wanna call it--good soul food/comfort dishes made w/ local organic ingredients. waiter and hostess were really nice; ricotta was delicious. good fries and sandwiches.
u should check out peaches surmo--theyre working out some kinks but as an experience its great--and when the food is on, its on
i might check out their brunch today aksh
the smoke joint guys place in bed-stuy, peaches, is worth a trip on the A--in particular for their salads and veggie dishes, and the pearl pasta.
― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 14:41 (fifteen years ago) link
to reiterate: totally worth checking out, theyre definitely hit-and-miss still but i think once they get everything ironed out itll be great, veggie dishes in particular are fantastic
― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 14:42 (fifteen years ago) link
lol the other night i was there and someone ordered a pie and it had been made w/ salt instead of sugar [trombone noise] but it was lols all around and they got their dinner comped so wvs
haha... i will def go soon :D btw, not that it's important but there was an incredibly hot girl at the smoke joint the other night. and she had on this amazing gold charmbracelet. i had to tell her how perfect it was. she said it was anne klein -- who knew?
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 14:47 (fifteen years ago) link
wait max is it your bday tomorrow?
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 14:59 (fifteen years ago) link
max we can still hang out even if i live in the target now
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:00 (fifteen years ago) link
anyway i wanna eat their shrimp & grits, based on the review i read, they sound A+ but i would think that in general.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:03 (fifteen years ago) link
hay schef is there still an applebees downstairs from the target?i want all-you-can-eat chicken fingers goddamnit.
― ian, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:10 (fifteen years ago) link
there's one up the street a bit on flatbush! in the atlantic center there's just buffalo wild wings and chuck e. cheese (a friend said that chuck e. cheese is the most depressing place on earth but now i can't remember who actually said it)
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:16 (fifteen years ago) link
ha! my friend kiran said that, and i think i passed that info on to you.

i know we can hang out at the target ally i just wanted to be "bed stuy buddies" and make shirts or jumpsuits or something
i live right next to the target (is there more than one?)
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:35 (fifteen years ago) link
u must be so close to me then!
yes i've always wanted to go to that applebees. the chuck e is indeed very depressing.
you should try bellmont steaks at the atlantic mall for some good old southern-style mediocrity
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:36 (fifteen years ago) link
i'll come to bed-stuy and go to peaches and you should come and we will take a picture and i'll make a blingee and it'll say "max & ally bed stuy buddies 4 eva"
surmounter, you're in ft greene yeah? i'm over on bergen & 4th. i just moved pretty recently beginning of summer so i'm still exploring all the new shit that's popped up in this area since last i had reasons to hang out in "bococa" or whatever ppl call it now.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:41 (fifteen years ago) link
lol im not pround of it but i have been to that applebees and that buffalo wild wings
not been to peaches but i am srsly doubting the smoke joint dudes could ever put anything worthwhile together
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link
im way surprised at ppls dislike of smoke joint, it wasnt like heavenly or anything but it was better than a lot of bbq ive had
― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
mediocre bbq w/an incredibly lame steez WE CALL THEM BROOKLYN WINGS DONT U SEE

― Surmounter, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:56 (fifteen years ago) link
i have some faith in them cause i thought that little pig was really good. sad that they killed it. i went to peaches once and it was pretty good but nothing more. would give it another chance. i think smoke joint is good, but never go there.
