Franny's was very good, btw. I was in a bit of a rush, so I just got pizza, but it did not disappoint. I had the buffalo mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, oregano, and hot peppers -- really nice balance between the sweet creaminess of the ricotta and the kick of the peppers. And the crust was thin but nicely doughy -- I've been to other Neapolitan places where it's too flimsy, so this was appreciated.

i really want to go there, but haven't.new italian place for ft greenhttp://newyork.grubstreet.com/2010/07/first_look_at_dino_serving_nor.htmlmaybe not too exciting, but could be good for simple dishes, prices more reasonable than roman's.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 6 July 2010 20:42 (thirteen years ago) link
it's so
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 13:37 (thirteen years ago) link

also ft greene's Kaz A Nou is wonderful
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 13:39 (thirteen years ago) link
i went and i got that lemon parmesan dish. simple, delicious, executed very well. also got a fennel salad, i think. salad was actually too big. good portions for the price.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 14:02 (thirteen years ago) link
omg ! that's the same exact dinner i got!
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 14:07 (thirteen years ago) link
might try A Bistro tonight http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/abistro/
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 14:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Loved it. Got the "fried chicken". Which isn't battered and fried chicken, totally different. Been twice. Tiny place but really awesome.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:08 (thirteen years ago) link
very cool. is it air conditioned? very pricey?
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:09 (thirteen years ago) link
really been wanting to go there
also it's in prospect heights and I won't let ft greene steal the glory
― dmr, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:49 (thirteen years ago) link
oh right, right. sorry :)
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:51 (thirteen years ago) link
SORRY!
get the jerk chicken breast. you will be happy.
that and the duck leg confit with mango jerk sauce look awesome
― dmr, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link
o and dmr i tried James. really nice!
― janice (surm), Wednesday, 21 July 2010 15:58 (thirteen years ago) link
don't remember if A Bistro is a/c, but it's probably pricey. It's a fancy little reservation type place, I think.
But worth it, our meals were pretty great!
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 16:21 (thirteen years ago) link
you go to the crepe place yet dan?
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 16:23 (thirteen years ago) link
No, we haven't. Any good?
Saw Siestama wrote about the Brazillian/Tibetan fusion place around the corner but it still looks empty. We went once and it was really good, but a bit pricey for the hood.
Went back to Richmond Hill last night to explore trinidadian food, got some doubles then went looking for another place but everything was closing by 8:30/9 for some reason.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 21 July 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I had a really good meal at ofrenda last week, like my first taste of 'real real' mexican food
― dyao, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 13:35 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah! I mean they're a bit expensive for the neighborhood, but the woman who makes them def knows what she's doing. very nice people too.
― iatee, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 13:42 (thirteen years ago) link
haha I didn't see that you wrote 'pricey for the hood' before I wrote that - so easy to get that mindset here
― iatee, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 13:43 (thirteen years ago) link
also been meaning to try that new indian place on skillman
― iatee, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 13:45 (thirteen years ago) link
gotten bad reviews on Chowhound. People prefer Curry Point, which is a more homey-pakistani/bangladeshi place down on Greenpoint Ave below Queens blvd. The kind of place like there used to be hundreds of in Jackson Heights, but not so much here.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link
never been to that one, but we pretty rarely go south of queens blvd for a meal. I know you're not a fan, but we are usually pretty content w/ masala (helps that it's 20 seconds away).
― iatee, Wednesday, 11 August 2010 15:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i ate at great n.y. noodletown this weekend for the first time and it was ________so good___________

what's good and not-pricey for dinner around 9th Ave in 40s or 50s these days?
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Wondee Siam (#1, on the east side of 9th -- there's a #2 across the street). Order from the 'secret menu' that's on the table.
― C0L1N B..., Wednesday, 1 September 2010 19:27 (thirteen years ago) link
thx
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 1 September 2010 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Wondee Siam is good. I like Island Burgers & Shakes at 51st and 9th. There's also a pretty good little Cuban place around there but I can't remember the name.

― dmr, Wednesday, 1 September 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
