wai dude. it's cuz i didn't want to pay but i wanted to respond to something someone (actually a critic from another paper) said about a piece i wrote!!

probably a good idea i didn't!!

i read that ny magazine cheap eats link above and can attest that of the those i know, at least two of the 5 star cheap eats are pretty expensive. the 4 star picks are promising though.

ha probably.

hey did you ever get a chance to go to Queue de Cheval? Out of curiosity, how does it rate in the "Top X restaurants" polls?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:42 (seventeen years ago) link

i still have never been! although to be honest i think the consensus is that QDC isn't worth the mad mad cash

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:44 (seventeen years ago) link

*not expensive relative to le bernardin, of course. which i guess is what they were going for. xpost

Of the NY Cheap Eats list, I've been to three of the restaurants:
I rated Momofuku 3 stars (average food), with 1 star solely for being open after 11pm. It's not cheap either. If you're resourceful, you can do much better than this!
Shake Shack - it was pretty good. Not much of a line on the day I went. 4 stars.
Katz - it's a classic, 4 stars.

With Momofuku ranking so high, I'm immediately skeptical... Yikes.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 23:57 (seventeen years ago) link

the "cheap eats" designation is really questionable for a lot of their choices. steve's right - you'll do a lot better by checking chowhound, though the ny mag issue could be good as an address book.

get off the NY balls

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Ev, I hope you do! Will be awes.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:16 (seventeen years ago) link

cutty, what do you mean when you say "NY balls"?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 26 July 2006 13:35 (seventeen years ago) link

it's like that new yorker cover, except the rest of the world begins at cutty's taint.

used to swear by Chowhound but (A) they have the worst website design ever and (B) too many restaurants are declared "over" / "fallen off" that I still think are good .... so I don't go there much anymore ...

Momofuku is expensive for ramen but cheap for as good a meal as that, IMO. Pork buns / chicken buns are legit.

― dmr (Renard), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

chowhound has recently improved its website design... gah i hated those threaded threads.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 19:01 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah i was thinking of hitting momofuku.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 01:10 (seventeen years ago) link

There are no virgins in NYC.

I think he was looking for cinema gold, not Gen Y childhood nostalgia.

I linked to this previously:

Also, there's a Danish crime trilogy:

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 12:26 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, which makes me hesitant...

The programming here is adventurous, but who knows if any of it is good:
