DAN SELZER, TOTALLY NOT BUMMING, RATES NYC EAT SPOTS

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.

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.

selzer's taken it off-board:

Kinara of Park Slope, mentioned here in years gone by, closing at month's end, I was told yesterday. Please holler for where I should get my Indian takeout off the F or Q in Brooklyn henceforth.

you're gonna need a new thread to discuss Brooklyn eat spots without my involvement.

lol

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?

when i move dere

i thought the food at chicha was comically bad but the drinks were very good. lotta instagram ass people in there for sure.

Chimu is still open! Amazed.

I liked my dish at Chicha by wife was underwhelmed. C.Lo was better!

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/

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