This is a bad thing?

zaragoza is great. they have plastic forks! what i do usually is eat a bit of the filling with said fork, then it's easier to wrap the taco up without spilling anything.
Zabb City was v v good, would eat again. My favorite was the duck salad; it had plenty of duck and it was crispy and had a really great flavor. The soup seemed kind of like normal soup, but we got it last and my taste buds were a little worn out from the intensity of the labb & duck salad. I think next time I might want to try one of the curries, even though they're not a specialty of the region. Or maybe one of the regular noodle dishes.

ATTEN ZAYTOONS ON VBILT NOW OPEN STOP RUN DON'T WALK THERE STOP HALLELUJAH STOP.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:13 (sixteen years ago) link
kenka kind of rules. it is what i imagine tgifridays would be like in japan (pls note i have never been to japan). the beer is really cheap and you get to make your own cotton candy. foodies do not like the food but it's solid and not expensive.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link
at least one japaneses i know insists on eating there everytime he visits nyc
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
xxpost - yah I had zaytoons last thurs, it's pretty good
did I tell you guys, chavella's was fuckin with us the other day, they claimed they didn't deliver on our side of vanderbilt. and la taqueria won't deliver on our side of flatbush. SOUTH BROOKLYN NEGATIVE ZONE MEXICAN FOOD VORTEX
in the end we browbeat chavella's and they agreed to deliver
― dmr, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
chavella's is basically the ONLY place that will deliver to me (wrong side of classon, so lonely)
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:34 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm thinking maybe that yakitori place also on st marx. but kenka might work. sounds fun.
it's been 4 years since i got food poisoned at smith street zaytoons. maybe it's time to forgive and forget.
― sanskrit, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:36 (sixteen years ago) link
yoko cho and yakitori taisho are totally solid and cheap, too.
― lauren, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:40 (sixteen years ago) link
Bell there's a possibly not that great but hey Japanese place on corner of Franklin and Dean now, they should deliver to you.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 17:54 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah i have their menu. have you tried it? it looks very meh.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I had really great molé enchiladas on Roosevelt the one time I visited Dan's place in Queens.
I still think Village Yokosho is my fave yakitori/etc. place on/near St. Marks. I've tried a bunch of the new(er) joints but they didn't do it for me.
― Capitaine Jay Vee, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 21:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, it's pretty meh. I'm not gonna go out on a limb to defend that place fo shur except that it opened across the street from my prev apartment a few months after I moved out.
― Laurel, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 21:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i actually haven't had the urge to get delivery since i've moved. having a much larger kitchen and no roomates to compete with for space makes cooking funnnnn.
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link
who are all these new noisers
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 21:33 (sixteen years ago) link
what's good within walking dist of Moving Image Museum in Astoria, ie 36/35 nr Steinway or Broadway? I know Uncle George's. I'm going to be hungree after 3-1/2 hrs of Chelsea Girls.

AT SOME POINT THIS WEEKEND I AM GOING TO ZAYTOON'S ON VANDERBILT. ANTICIPATING NOM NOM
― Laurel, Thursday, 1 November 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
it's very good (and delivers to franklin fuck yes!) but it possibly gave ian and i food poisoning last time we ate it.
― bell_labs, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
xpost to morbs -- I kinda like Cronin & Phelan (fish & chips, Irish pub grub). 38th and Broadway. not a whole lot around there. Cup Diner is nearby (35st & 36av) but it kinda sucks imo.
wow really? me and shannon too. and check out sanskrit's comment upthread. gotta be more than a coincidence.
― dmr, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
You guys, that is so depressing.
― Laurel, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:08 (sixteen years ago) link
sorry :(
if it makes you feel better I've had it four times but only got semi-ill once
― dmr, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link
try your luck
yeah, the other time i had it, i was fine. and i used to eat smith st zaytoons on a weekly basis when i lived over there and never had a problem.
― bell_labs, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:11 (sixteen years ago) link
i WILL eat it again. though i may avoid ground lamb stuff.
― bell_labs, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:17 (sixteen years ago) link
that is the same dish me & shannon split
― dmr, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:19 (sixteen years ago) link
ground lamb platter
it was tasty :(
25% chance of spending a night in stomach hell... I LIKE THOSE ODDS
― Jon Lewis, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I've eaten smith st. zaytoons so much that one of the guys who used to work there bought me a drink at Boat once. That was weird. Anyway, it never made me sick, though when I got the chicken kebab platter for delivery it was sometimes undercooked. That's pretty gross. Their lentil soup is AWESOME, so thick you can eat it with a fork.
The Cup sucks, but Cafe Bar has some ok stuff.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:29 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah we went two weekends ago for schwarma brunch. really good. i've forgiven them for my smith st food poisoning of years ago. this place is much better than olive vine.
― sanskrit, Thursday, 1 November 2007 21:30 (sixteen 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
yola's! or maybe the ceviche place, whassitcalled?
