New York Restaurants

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.

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.

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

u guys omg look at what they just took the wraps off of where that new orleans place was on fulton and s portland

looks like its almost ready to open! omg ethiopian - also new turkish place a block down is nearing completion

is that related to the one on the ues?

this place is called batik or something - something w/a B

hmmm this liquor license site says its called "gojo"

new-ish pizzeria on graham (motorino) is good. the special app (oven-roasted mortadella) was both funny and delicious: basically, giant triangles of fried baloney.

anyone been to bellavitae? we're going this weekend. we're hoping for something good, italian, not a zillion bucks.

OMG icecram so excited about ethiopian!

but can we please talk about the sign for Deniz (turkish)?

that's on my street and uh, i don't know that i need an electric blue sign in comic sans font with a neon fish on it on my block......

A BRIGHT BLUE NEON FISH

let me get this straight yr saying yr not sure if you need an electric blue sign in comic sans font with a neon fish on it on yr block - now why are you saying this? is it because u already have a bunch of those? seems like the more the merrier or whatever

ok MAYBE if it was helvetica, and maybe without the fish. rly we need to find a picture of this thing

later maybe i will take one so all can see

me too, on my way home, all lit up in the dark

plz dont post the picture though i dont want to see it.

itd be too disappointing like when they make a movie out of yr favorite book and the actor playing yr favorite character looks all wrong. not they way you pictured at all. dont ruin this for me.

gis for deniz nyc

don't see why you have an issue with this honestly

deniz franss

deniz the meniz

here's a breaking-news story adam schefter: eff u_u. he's not what i pictured at all

man i am just trying to bring joy to the world ok

Tipsy -- not a zillion bucks, no. Been twice and enjoyed both. Don't know your tastes, but I've enjoyed a lot of the early plates (little fried meatballs are fun, and there's a variety of high-quality parmesans, balsamics, and prosciuttos that are a treat to savor one flavor at a time); pretty good pastas in that $16-$20 range that could get you crap pasta somewhere else; and ... actually, entree-wise, I've only had their grilled baby octopus, which is straightforwardly tasty.

I can't think of much about the place that'd be bothersome or disappointing: prices aren't bad and food's solid. (Though it's no Smith's, down MacDougal.)

this is somehow even worse that the blockbuster horror move the ruins. or, more topically, the pizza options available in tribeca

hey did anyone here ever get more 411 about char 4 re: foods

"treat to savor one flavor at a time" -- that sounds like Gene Shalit doing restaurants or something, sorry; I just mean tasting those particularly good things almost individually and finding yourself saying, e.g., "okay, now that's a delicious vinegar." I could happily sit at the bar there just eating Reggiano and balsamic on bread.

theres a store in la, in los feliz, that does some srs shit w/ balsamic, $40 .5 liter bottles, im sure nyc has a similar store, but my point is just that good balsamic vinegar is l.e.g.i.t. and if i was rich i would never buy anything else

wait -- you are not rich??

i invested in bernie madoff :( :( :(

oh condolences :(

hey did anyone here ever get more 411 about char 4 re: foods

had brunch here and it was good but not special. the bacon was certainly really tasty and not surprisingly the high point although i think the do a fig jam that is supposed to be good. a little $$ but not bad value

thx nabisco. sounds like what we're looking for. plus i've heard the wines are good.

(as i guess the name implies...)

so no. 7 has become a fast fixture. i also just tried the bar menu. the fry plate is great (i dunno if i already said that). you get a LOT of fries -- they're like really crispy. like chips. really good balsamic mayo.

also i can't get enough of that fried broccoli. i wanna sit at the bar tomorrow and just have one of those with a glass of wine. yum.

i guess i should probably try this at some point.

totally forgot i took this

i was once told by a dancer that mortadella means "dead donkey" in italian

I could walk to Lexington and 25th for Baoguette during the week, but am closer to Hill Country on 26th near 6th.
