meat heavy?

senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 20:51 (eighteen years ago) link

meat and fish, yeah.

The Gist is Stuart Moxham's post-Young Marble Giants band, you should know that, you burned me the CD.

HA HA.

Cambodian is like a cross between thai and vietnamese. I used to kinda like it, I like how they have 1,000,000 things on the menu, and how they have a note saying "if you're in a rush to see a movie, can we suggest the following 3 entrees?" Why? Because they're so damn slow. Seriously the worst service ever. Dare to sit in the porched in area...


Really good thai, well I've only been to Sri Pa Pa or whatever once, the super place in queens that everyone talks about, that was pretty amazing. I used to love the park slope place near 2nd st on the 2nd floor. I like Tuk Tuk in my hood. Really good basil fried rice, hot-pot dumplings (peanuts and radish) are super.

What do you think of Green Bo, the Shanghai dumpling house in Chinatown?

sexy gave me gist too!

cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I've never been to New Green Bo. I've been to very little in chinatown.

And I've never had a vietnamese sandwhich, though a new place just opened up at smith and bergen near me. I'm excited to try.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

don't know Green Bo, but there is an excellent dumpling house called the Excellent Dumpling House

midi sanskrit (sanskrit), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 21:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I used to eat this bbq pork sandwhich on french bread every week at the pho place where I used to live in dallas. one of the all time great sandwiches of my life

Dominique (dleone), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 21:29 (eighteen years ago) link

theres a great pho place on the bowery called pho tu do. soups featuring massive bulk of things you cannot identify and dont care.

delightfully cheap

whoa, banh mi within walking distance of my neighborhood? greatest news i've heard all day (and i did hear some good news earlier).

kanye twitty (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 21:49 (eighteen years ago) link

banh mi place on broome and elizabeth is great.

new green bo is okay, but their steamed juicy buns are a bit heavy on the sesame oil for my taste. try the fried pork, though, they are my faves.

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:01 (eighteen years ago) link

IJ,

We had the Shanghai Crab and the pork dumplings (as well as the scallion pancakes). Not bad. There's a place in SF that makes the best Shanghai dumplings but the price is seriously out of control.

Where is best fish & chips in my part of brooklyn (roughly)?

Is there really anywhere besides the Chip Shop on 5th or those funky fried chicken places?

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:14 (eighteen years ago) link

what does bumming mean in the UK? Is it something to do with my fanny pack? Do I have to take the lift to the lou? What colour is it anyway?


I'm not a big fish eater either. Does that mean something funny in england? I think there's a new fish place on 5th ave though.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Dan,

Do you think that Tomoe is overrated? What about the bathrooms at Bar 89? What about Ham Gee OK on 32nd?

steveshasta@easywaterski.com

Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:21 (eighteen years ago) link

"The Lou" is Louisville, KY.

I think you mean the loo.

Too Gay for America (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:23 (eighteen years ago) link

chip shop prolly closest place to where you is, ian. their chip butties are pretty good for such a disgusting food item!

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't know what Tomoe is. Haven't been to Bar 89 in years. Don't know what Ham Gee is.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:33 (eighteen years ago) link

isn't "the lou" st. louis also?

I just feel like I should share my Valentines day dinner review with you

Tea & Sympathy on Greenwich:
-more cramped than mamoun's
-pitiful chav wait staff
-neurotic proprietor (see "Nicky's rules")
-horribly overpriced (7$ mac&cheese side dish)
-absolutely delicious

I recommend the welsh rarebit w/ bacon, but I don't recommend the restaurant.

VIDEO STRESS (blastocyst), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 22:47 (eighteen years ago) link

My girlfriend and I went to her house and cooked. Well, she cooked, I chopped and cleaned. We figured we go out to nice meals enough that it would be more rare and special to just stay home and make some food.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 23:01 (eighteen years ago) link

we went to this place regional, up on da uws. not bad, tho our appetizer was not as hot as it should've been.

hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 23:07 (eighteen years ago) link

We went to Ghenet on Mulberry, braved the crowd, cleaned our plate.

senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

ghenet is goooood

kanye twitty (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 23:36 (eighteen years ago) link

i ate some ben & jerry's and a burrito. i did not have to pay for anyone else.

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Thursday, 16 February 2006 00:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Ghenet is my gf's favorite ethiopian place. mine too, now that i think about it.

great, now i want injera bread

midi sanskrit (sanskrit), Thursday, 16 February 2006 01:15 (eighteen years ago) link

new green bo used to be better. they still have the best vegetable dumplings i've ever had, though. dan, you might have been there. i had my birthday party there maybe 5 yrs ago and eveyrone complained because the food was weird, not sweet and sour-type stuff.
joe's shanghai is always annoyingly crowded, but their soup dumplings are great. goody's is pretty much the same quality, but never as packed with tourists. their pork shoulder is soooo good,

lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 16 February 2006 12:40 (eighteen years ago) link

I remember now. Don't much remember the food, but do remember the people, and a photo taken out front that ended up on Rebecca and your mantle for a bit, no?

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 16 February 2006 14:26 (eighteen years ago) link

this place is much better than olive vine.

^^^ OTM x1000

ian, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:34 (sixteen years ago) link

Yes. The Olive Vine on 6th ave or whereve is the WORST. The place on Dekalb is pretty good for some things, as is Beduin Tent on Atlantic, who make this insane Merguez.

dan selzer, Thursday, 1 November 2007 23:57 (sixteen years ago) link

where does one eat near Lorimer/Metrop at 9 on a Sat night that isn't crowded, or the Kellogg Diner?

Dr Morbius, Friday, 2 November 2007 15:00 (sixteen years ago) link

although we did go to Chicha in Bushwick and C.lo Cafe in east williamsburg last week and despite the former's beautiful design and more innovative/interesting menu, found C.lo Cafe shockingly delicious for what seems like a pretty humble under the radar place. Don't sleep.

Now can we talk about Queens please?

I just re-read this entire thread. I am sad my only contribution was to bitch about accidentally getting mashed potatos on my pizza. A higher end sushi joint opened up kind of near my place. It's getting good reviews and I need to overcome my hesitations about sushi chefs who are not asian. https://www.gaijinny.com/

Yerac, Thursday, 19 July 2018 16:44 (five years ago) link

I dunno about paying those prices in Astoria too. But I guess I pay a lot for good grilled octopus there.
