DAN SELZER, TOTALLY NOT BUMMING, RATES NYC EAT SPOTS

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

chavella's is basically the ONLY place that will deliver to me (wrong side of classon, so lonely)

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.

yoko cho and yakitori taisho are totally solid and cheap, too.

Bell there's a possibly not that great but hey Japanese place on corner of Franklin and Dean now, they should deliver to you.

yeah i have their menu. have you tried it? it looks very meh.

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.

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.

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.

who are all these new noisers

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.

...not to mention ten straight minutes of Nico crying.

that makes me more thirstee.

AT SOME POINT THIS WEEKEND I AM GOING TO ZAYTOON'S ON VANDERBILT. ANTICIPATING NOM NOM

it's very good (and delivers to franklin fuck yes!) but it possibly gave ian and i food poisoning last time we ate it.

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.

it's very good (and delivers to franklin fuck yes!) but it possibly gave ian and i food poisoning last time we ate it.

wow really? me and shannon too. and check out sanskrit's comment upthread. gotta be more than a coincidence.

You guys, that is so depressing.

sorry :(

if it makes you feel better I've had it four times but only got semi-ill once

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.

i WILL eat it again. though i may avoid ground lamb stuff.

that is the same dish me & shannon split

ground lamb platter

it was tasty :(

25% chance of spending a night in stomach hell... I LIKE THOSE ODDS

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.

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.

this place is much better than olive vine.

^^^ OTM x1000

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.

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

yola's! or maybe the ceviche place, whassitcalled?

chimu.
