New York Restaurants

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

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.

really been wanting to try bonnie's

yeah i just rescheduled for no 7, so i'll be dining above your residence next thurs, cr m!

sigh.

duuude i dont live in the basement!

i said nu-americana not "new american" so suck it

question:

what ever happened to Honmura An in SoHo? I heard Jean-Georges bought the space a few years back but never heard what became of it. That used to be my go-to soba spot downtown.

major bummer

back to gothamist with you ^

ian, how do you like your burgers cooked? i feel like that makes a big difference with dumont?

Sasabune now beating Sushi Seki in Zagat

Honmura An is dead

gabbneb's reading comprehension is still poor i see.

shef i like my burgers rare goddamnit. i don't hate on their burgers or anything, but the price has gone up what, like $5 in the last three years? so it's good and whatever but if i'm gonna go and sit at dumont i'd rather just get the mac n cheese for real cuz that really IS the best mac n cheese in the area whereas the burger is merely "top 10" material.

dumont burger steez kinda misses the mark imo - everyone knows fast food style is where its at - its still good tho

RIP pies n thighs burger.

okay, Honmura An is now Dop Dop, a hair salon. RIP downtown soba.

will pies n thighs ever reopen? i talked to one of the owners last spring and she was all o yah well be open at the end of june :(

yes, Steve, J-G opened the world's greatest noodle shop there, but only ILX knows about it. on a related matter, what's the deal with Myth these days after the Great God pulled out?

hahahaha i eat mine super-rare, i just feel like at dumont the rarer it is the better the burger is, everyone i know who like hates on dumont is a "well done" weirdo so i had to check!

but yeah, the price goes up, even since i moved back permanently it's gone up by a dollar or two i feel like. the prob with the mac & cheese for me is that i make really good mac & cheese myself when i can be bothered so paying $15 for it is like "well, i dunno" whereas i am completely incompetant on burgers so $15 for a burger seems like a good investment. tho yeah their mac & cheese is good.

i have heard there are good burgers at melt on bergen st (served like 1/2 price at the bar??) but i have only eaten brunch there.

xpost i was just going to ask about pies n thighs

god gabbneb, look like more of an asshole all over the thread for no reason

steve shasta soba ya is pretty awesome have u been there

i used to be a well done weirdo -- cuz i like the outside crispy! but then i understood this doesn't work. now i'm just a medium, if i'm kooky a medium rare.

you could get it crispy without getting the outside more than medium rare, i feel like. i think that is part of why i like dumont's, the outside is still pretty charry even when i order it basically raw.

i like some steaks rare but a super rare burger is a little too mushy imo - medium rare is perfect for a big fat burger - of course if yr going shake shake etc fast food style its just uniformly medium and awesome

medium rare guys duh

rare duh

my dad will never shut up about the idea of ordering a steak 'black and blue', but I'm not sure if that would work so well with a burger.

dont you have some law stuff to do gabbneb

god i can't put up with shake shack's mythos is the problem -- i rarely am in that part of town and the line is always hueg. i'd love to eat their burgers but not with those ppl in my jock.

i think p&t is now aiming for december. s4th & driggs.

the outside is still pretty charry even when i order it basically raw.

mmmmm

yah u have to go to shake shack on off hours - late is good - half the times ive tried ive just looked at the line and given up

shake shack burger is THE FUCKING BOMB tho make no mistake

i still like the burgers at molly's. they are not the fashionable fast food-y kind, though.

yah u have to go to shake shack on off hours

330 on a weekday is good

dont you have some law stuff to do gabbneb

nope! shd go to gym tho.

also: joe's bestburger in queens (flushing) on main st. pretty good in-n-out knockoff, and they make handcut fries which are a+.

i have heard there are good burgers at melt on bergen st (served like 1/2 price at the bar??) but i have only eaten brunch there.

?? really ??

didn't like the brunch there, maybe I'll try the burger

hey schef you been to alchemy brunch, that's my go-to over there. bloody mary / eggs + chorizo / jalapeno cheese grits

Sobaya is kinda blah compared to Honmura An.

how do you killfile in the new code?

also they have like 10 diff flavors of joe's brand soda, and you always get free cookies or something with your meal.

yah i was eyeing joes bestburger on sunday

last time I ate at shake shack mary-louise parker was there

joe's is the chain that wasn't - they have everything set up like there are a million of them around the globe, but that's the only one.

also someone mentioned pequena in ft. greene upthread, their brunch is great + cheap. huevos rancheros etc.

according to Eater, Honmura An reopened .... in tokyo

i haven't been to alchemy, maybe i'll try this weekend! we've done that new orleans place on atlantic 2x (??? stan's? i forget the name). cafe du monde = winner. service is slooooooow and the prices are a touch higher than they should be.

that was me dmr! looove them

alchemy is good but overpriced for what it is, me thinks

alchemy dinner is overpriced for sure. brunch ain't too bad imo.

oh re: melt's brunch, it seems really super hit or miss.

anyone been to the spotted pig i might go for bday tmrw night
