g00blar - i think the teresa's are connected, or were, and the one on 1st ave closed a little while ago.

i ate at paul's today. the number of bad reviews of paul's on yelp really threw me. i love paul's. today i had the 2nd avenue burger, with cheese, ham, grilled tomato and grilled onions.always get the "cajun" fries.

just the idea of cajun fries is too much for me to handle
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:08 (fifteen years ago) link
it's nothing special. just like.. fries with spices on them. they're just better than the steak fries, which are kind of bland and mushy usually.
― ian, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:15 (fifteen years ago) link
you know, cajun anything and i'm there.
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:17 (fifteen years ago) link
cajun poodle.

can someone tell me where to get a blackened swordfish pronto?
lol
i kind of don't want to go to this teresa's place because of the horrible misspelling. i know this is irrational.
i had a burger at paul's once. it was nothing spectacular.
surm, i don't know about blackened but i do know a recipe for this great cream sauce with riesling and capers that will make you melt.

ok that sounds weird.
sounds grrrr8 to me. i would love that recipe.
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 02:20 (fifteen years ago) link
haha now i have to find it...
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:25 (fifteen years ago) link
loll well take your time. ugh sounds so good tho.

pinche's fish tacos are really good but the secret weapon is the carnitas!! so delicious, whatever the hell they braise the pork in is magical.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:29 (fifteen years ago) link
ok i have to go to this place soon.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:30 (fifteen years ago) link
i wish time out's offices would move back to soho instead of the wasteland they currently occupy by the javitz center so i could eat delicious tacos on a more regular basis.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Monday, 6 October 2008 02:32 (fifteen years ago) link
i have no lunch options. there is a caf in my building, but it is the size of my bedroom so not very many options. i will turn into a salad soon. maybe that is a good thing, though.

Anthos - not cheap, but good
NYT wrote about Pinche's a week ago so it's kinda over now, amirite?

^^ this is where i got my mac n cheese. also had a delicious mexican-style corn on the cob. not too $$$ or tourist-y for being where it is either.
― max, Monday, 6 October 2008 03:24 (fifteen years ago) link
also 3) recommendations for vietnamese

i need lunch around lincoln center. i think that is a lost cause, though.
midtown is generally a lost cause
― Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Monday, 6 October 2008 03:59 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah. that area is not even really midtown though. i mean, sort of. but really more upper west side-y. it's kind of horrible. just overpriced sit down places or really crap delis.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 03:59 (fifteen years ago) link
sometimes i walk down to col. circle for whole foods.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 04:00 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i used to just do deli sammiches around there. there's a grays papaya nearish!
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:00 (fifteen years ago) link
i found a couple of good delis wth those salad bar things
Yeah, I was gonna say the Whole Foods is the only place I tend to get lunch in that general vicinity. Best deal around there.

― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:04 (fifteen years ago) link

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=155+A+West+66th+Street,+New+York,+NY+(Balducci's)
― gabbneb, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:12 (fifteen years ago) link
maybe dressler? gotham bar & grill?
this is my favorite but it's gotten kind of expensive, they keep raising priceshttp://www.alfanoose.com/
if anyone knows good CHEAP places down there I'd like to know
used to go to this one mexican food cart all the time until one time my burrito contained a piece of the cart :/
― dmr, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:26 (fifteen years ago) link
i go to that balducci's a lot. it is v v small. i get salads. occasionally a sandwich. it's not very exciting.
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 04:28 (fifteen years ago) link
OMG yes max go to dressler. bar A++++
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:31 (fifteen years ago) link
3) vietnamese: the banh mi place on broome st.
― donna rouge, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:56 (fifteen years ago) link
ooh i pass cornershop cafe pretty much every day and have never tried it out. menu's pretty tite tho
― donna rouge, Monday, 6 October 2008 04:59 (fifteen years ago) link
Pakistan Tea House on Church and Reade (v. v. good Pakistani lunch place; cheap as anything, too)
Korean fried chicken at Bonbon on Chambers and Church.

maybe i'll check out dressler... How do you guys get to w'burg? Do you just take the g? Does it ever actually run or is it just a cruel joke? I feel like I spend hours of my life in hoyt schermerhorn.
― max, Monday, 6 October 2008 12:05 (fifteen years ago) link
G is usually fine on weekdays ... weekends it can be dicey
where are you coming from? from prospect heights I usually take the Q into manhattan and grab the L
― dmr, Monday, 6 October 2008 12:46 (fifteen years ago) link
dressler is s wburg, though - any way you can get the j?
― highly theoretical, of course. (tehresa), Monday, 6 October 2008 13:00 (fifteen years ago) link
I've taken the G a few times and it's worked out fine. Hopstop says to take the 4/5 to the L at Union Square, but there's something about having to go to Manhattan to get to Brooklyn that's psychologically frustrating.
― Everything is Highlighted (Hurting 2), Monday, 6 October 2008 13:56 (fifteen years ago) link
i take the G a lot and it's totally fine. late night weekends are crappy but whatever. and yes going to manhattan to get to brooklyn is the worst!
― Surmounter, Monday, 6 October 2008 13:58 (fifteen years ago) link
but there's something about having to go to Manhattan to get to Brooklyn that's psychologically frustrating.
They're called people who live in manhattan and tourists.
― mizzell, Monday, 6 October 2008 14:02 (fifteen years ago) link
I love the G train, but it won't get it you that close to dressler.
― mizzell, Monday, 6 October 2008 14:03 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah fuck that. My experience with the G is that it's as good as any other train! The cumulative hours spent over the last decade waiting for the F or the NR have perhaps jaded me, the only train I feel good about catching these days is the 123, for frequency.
