New York Restaurants

finally had one of those spicy cumin lamb hamburgers at the flushing mall basement. Pretty damn good.

good find though a few weeks back, walking down broadway in elmhurst (past tastes good) almost at Queens BLVD there's a big asian market with food service, they had these egg and scalion pancakes that were amazing.

attn max: have you been to peaches on lewis and macdonough? it's right down street from our old apt and i just read a review of it (it is brand new), i was wondering if it was worth going back to the neighb for. it is by smoke joint ppl.

aw man whyd u move, my girl lives on stuyvesant we coulda been bed stuy buddies

n e way this is what i said upthred:

"peaches" in bed stuy has got some good nu-americana or whatever you wanna call it--good soul food/comfort dishes made w/ local organic ingredients. waiter and hostess were really nice; ricotta was delicious. good fries and sandwiches.

u should check out peaches surmo--theyre working out some kinks but as an experience its great--and when the food is on, its on

i might check out their brunch today aksh

the smoke joint guys place in bed-stuy, peaches, is worth a trip on the A--in particular for their salads and veggie dishes, and the pearl pasta.

to reiterate: totally worth checking out, theyre definitely hit-and-miss still but i think once they get everything ironed out itll be great, veggie dishes in particular are fantastic

lol the other night i was there and someone ordered a pie and it had been made w/ salt instead of sugar [trombone noise] but it was lols all around and they got their dinner comped so wvs

haha... i will def go soon :D btw, not that it's important but there was an incredibly hot girl at the smoke joint the other night. and she had on this amazing gold charmbracelet. i had to tell her how perfect it was. she said it was anne klein -- who knew?

wait max is it your bday tomorrow?

max we can still hang out even if i live in the target now

anyway i wanna eat their shrimp & grits, based on the review i read, they sound A+ but i would think that in general.

hay schef is there still an applebees downstairs from the target?
i want all-you-can-eat chicken fingers goddamnit.

there's one up the street a bit on flatbush! in the atlantic center there's just buffalo wild wings and chuck e. cheese (a friend said that chuck e. cheese is the most depressing place on earth but now i can't remember who actually said it)

ha! my friend kiran said that, and i think i passed that info on to you.

yes it is my bday tomorrow

i know we can hang out at the target ally i just wanted to be "bed stuy buddies" and make shirts or jumpsuits or something

i live right next to the target (is there more than one?)

there's one up the street a bit on flatbush! in the atlantic center there's just buffalo wild wings and chuck e. cheese (a friend said that chuck e. cheese is the most depressing place on earth but now i can't remember who actually said it)

u must be so close to me then!

yes i've always wanted to go to that applebees. the chuck e is indeed very depressing.

you should try bellmont steaks at the atlantic mall for some good old southern-style mediocrity

i'll come to bed-stuy and go to peaches and you should come and we will take a picture and i'll make a blingee and it'll say "max & ally bed stuy buddies 4 eva"

surmounter, you're in ft greene yeah? i'm over on bergen & 4th. i just moved pretty recently beginning of summer so i'm still exploring all the new shit that's popped up in this area since last i had reasons to hang out in "bococa" or whatever ppl call it now.

lol im not pround of it but i have been to that applebees and that buffalo wild wings

not been to peaches but i am srsly doubting the smoke joint dudes could ever put anything worthwhile together

im way surprised at ppls dislike of smoke joint, it wasnt like heavenly or anything but it was better than a lot of bbq ive had

mediocre bbq w/an incredibly lame steez WE CALL THEM BROOKLYN WINGS DONT U SEE

cannot tolerate this

i live 2 blocks away and never go there and i love love bbq

have u considered... not being a hater

no wai dude

why y'all live by me and don't come over for football and bbq that i have MADE, what a bunch of losers in my 'hood

shoulda stayed in bed stuy we could hang out every day in our cool jumpsuits :/

ya schef i'm in the greene. a late welcome to you! cream you don't like anything in the hood!!

i'm still a huge fan of mullane's.

i have some faith in them cause i thought that little pig was really good. sad that they killed it. i went to peaches once and it was pretty good but nothing more. would give it another chance. i think smoke joint is good, but never go there.

sur, you like everything. it's charming.

i will admit that i am pushing peaches maybe more than it deserves cause i have a certaine amnt of hood pride 4 it plus once they gave me a free corn & black bean salad

^otm re dumont's burger, and may restore mas to #1 on my never-been list

omg dumont's burger is delicious. i have to try lucali pizza still.

max have you tried solomon's porch yet? it's inconsistent (they seemed to run out of like half their menu constantly?) but brunch is good.

its across the street from my girlfriends place but i havent been yet... keep meaning to stop by since its the only place to get a beer in like 30000 blocks but never end up doing it

ok yr gf lives like 10 minutes from my old apt, that is hilarious.

they had a good shrimp & grits there for sure. <--- apparently my definition of "worthwhile restaurant experience"

u guys should try the new place in my building - even isaac mizrahi says so http://www.isaacmizrahiny.com/about/21/studio_blog/561/no_7_greenefinally

theyre def doing things on a level that hasnt been tried in the neighborhood before

that's the place i want to try.

that place is pretty good and a really beautiful space. what was there before?

doctors office

they totally gutted the place - the amount of work they put in was pretty impressive

even isaac mizrahi some dude on isaac mizrahi's blog says so

lol korey seems to be responsible for all the posts on issacs blog - most of which have nothing to do w/anything

dumont's burger is fine but by far not the best burger in brooklyn.
IMHO the best burger in brooklyn is probably at Bonnie's in Park Slop.

also, Bar-B-Q in Greenwood Heights is awesome.

do u like 5 guys ian

peter luger's burger is crazy good.

it's not claimed as just the best burger in brooklyn, but the best in nyc

"peaches" in bed stuy has got some good nu-americana or whatever you wanna call it--good soul food/comfort dishes made w/ local organic ingredients

dunno what nu-american is, but that isn't new american food

the shake shack truck never happened did it

HAY GABBNEBS TY FOR FACT CHEKCKING THE THREAD THANK U
