omg i haven't had a bubble tea in forever, maybe i'll stop at hanco's on the way home

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

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.

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.
― lauren, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:17 (fifteen years ago) link
yes it is my bday tomorrow
― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:24 (fifteen years ago) link
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
cannot tolerate this
i live 2 blocks away and never go there and i love love bbq
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link

― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:49 (fifteen years ago) link

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:52 (fifteen years ago) link

― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:55 (fifteen years ago) link
ya schef i'm in the greene. a late welcome to you! cream you don't like anything in the hood!!
i'm still a huge fan of mullane's.
― 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.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:56 (fifteen years ago) link
sur, you like everything. it's charming.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:57 (fifteen years ago) link
i will admit that i am pushing peaches maybe more than it deserves cause i have a certaine amnt of hood pride 4 it plus once they gave me a free corn & black bean salad

^otm re dumont's burger, and may restore mas to #1 on my never-been list
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:00 (fifteen years ago) link
omg dumont's burger is delicious. i have to try lucali pizza still.
max have you tried solomon's porch yet? it's inconsistent (they seemed to run out of like half their menu constantly?) but brunch is good.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:09 (fifteen years ago) link
its across the street from my girlfriends place but i havent been yet... keep meaning to stop by since its the only place to get a beer in like 30000 blocks but never end up doing it
― max, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link
ok yr gf lives like 10 minutes from my old apt, that is hilarious.
they had a good shrimp & grits there for sure. <--- apparently my definition of "worthwhile restaurant experience"
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:23 (fifteen years ago) link
u guys should try the new place in my building - even isaac mizrahi says so http://www.isaacmizrahiny.com/about/21/studio_blog/561/no_7_greenefinally
theyre def doing things on a level that hasnt been tried in the neighborhood before
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:23 (fifteen years ago) link
that's the place i want to try.
― lauren, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:25 (fifteen years ago) link
that place is pretty good and a really beautiful space. what was there before?
― mizzell, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:30 (fifteen years ago) link
doctors office
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:33 (fifteen years ago) link
they totally gutted the place - the amount of work they put in was pretty impressive
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:34 (fifteen years ago) link
even isaac mizrahi some dude on isaac mizrahi's blog says so
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:34 (fifteen years ago) link
lol korey seems to be responsible for all the posts on issacs blog - most of which have nothing to do w/anything
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:39 (fifteen years ago) link
dumont's burger is fine but by far not the best burger in brooklyn.IMHO the best burger in brooklyn is probably at Bonnie's in Park Slop.
also, Bar-B-Q in Greenwood Heights is awesome.
