New York Restaurants

ALSO THERE IS NOW A PINCHE TAQUERIA ON LAFAYETTE ABOVE HOUSTON

wat is ppl opinion of sripaphai it is apparently the place to go?? i've been craving green curry would like any reccs actually that aren't rhong tiam

it's great, but i haven't had green curry there. i think jungle curry is the only one i've had. i like arunee a lot, too, but opinions on that place are more mixed.

i LOVE sripraphai. get the crispy pork & chinese broccoli appetizer, it's the best shit ever.

Zabb's Crispy Pork and Chinese Broccoli is better!

My favorite dish from Srip is the sausage salad appetizer. I get it medium spicy because I'm a wimp.

Their chicken massaman is also unlike any I've had anywhere else, where it's usually just the same old strips of chicken. At srip it's like a stew, the chicken is big chunks of thigh I guess, whatever, big solid pieces of chicken that just tears apart with a spoon.

eh re: burgers, i'm not saying that five guys isn't fine, i'm just saying that i'd rather just shell out the extra couple bucks and get a really good burger at a non-fast-food joint. i don't do burgers at lunch or other times that fast food might be appropriate, and there's no way in hell i'm going out of my way to go to a five guys or an in-and-out or a whattaburger (they are "ok") or shake shake or whatever for dinner time.

only exception is road trips during which i eat hella wendy's and sonic like it is going out of business.

^^^ so when i say these things are just ok keep in mind that i am a burger snob unless i am in a car.

i think its actually called shake shack

lol maybe i like to call it shake shake instead, what's it to you

blue 9 might still be closest to in n out tho

<3 blue9

best ny burgers:
-paul's
-luger
-donovan's
-pies n thighs (RIP)
-bonnies

i had no idea the correlation between burgers and boobs was so strong

I agree with Pauls and Donovans. Haven't had the others. I always end up getting sausage or something when I go to Bonnies.

I used to really like Grand Canyon in brooklyn but it's been years since I've had them.

Donovan's has to be ordered medium-rare (well, all burgers should be), when they're medium they're not that special.

And for those with wheat allergies, get the Shephard's Pie. It's basically a Donovan's burger ground up with some mashed potatos and peas and carrots.

I go there a lot, I live around the corner.

i had no idea the correlation between burgers and boobs was so strong

Every since a Five Guys opened up around the corner from me, I've been feeling like I'm on the path to personally proving that correlation

took this at the bk heights location

P.S. If any of you work or frequently pass anywhere around Lexington and 25th, please eat at this new Vietnamese sandwich place called Baoguette, because it is cheap and delicious and I need it to stay in business for work-lunch purposes. So far I have eaten there about 50% of the total days they've been open.

there's a sausage option at bonnies? are we thinking of the same bonnies? on fifth ave in park slope? i have never had anything but the burger & wings there. wings are also delish.

i'm still a big fan of molly's.

i still haven't been to molly's!
you free sometime soon for burger chow?

at my girl's request we are going out to Wondee Siam tonight
will i enjoy this circle one y/n

ian, definitely.

oddly enough, there was just a post on chowhound about wondee. apparently you can order pork laab/larb off-menu, and it's delicious.

funny you should mention that, cuz that's almost certainly why my girl wants to go; she's something of a larb fanatic.

ha! she probably saw that. it may have been wondee siam II, actually.

i'm going to be near there tomorrow, but i was thinking for lunch i would trek up to sarge's deli for matzoh ball soup! ohhhh option anxiety.

nothing says "melting pot" like matzoh ball soup & bahn mi.

It's $5 for the full sandwich and a soda. I don't know how to stop myself from eating there every day and getting gout from all the pate.

i wonder if it's related to bao noodles, which is like a block over.

anyone have 150 bucks they could spare?

down at the lido they welcome you with sausage and beer

would kill for a ticket to the blue hills thing, we'll be going when we're over I think but only for a visit to the stone barns centre. We did consider a meal at the manhattan venue for our solo meal but it's just that wee bit too pricey, Irving Mill looks like our lunch spot though.

ian-

yes same bonnies. They have/had a basic italian sausage sandwich which I like very much. What I really like at Bonnie's is the spicy mayo they put on all the tables for my fries.

Colicchio says on NPR that lots of marginal places are gonna close in January
