Overheard on the New York Boards

"[T]ry their steamed sweet rice cake as it's the fluffiest most delicate one I've found in Manhattan." – Miss Needle on Fong Inn Too; the Chinatown bean curd shop, a family business for 78 years, could be facing an ownership change

"I'll miss the sardines, the tripe and the company (not necessarily in that order)." – Steve R on La Mancha in Brooklyn, which closed earlier this month

"I particularly liked the dish depicting a seasonal theme, consisting of: potage of white satsuma potato, leek tempura with radish rose, truffle, and lemon powder, and yuba, white shimeji mushrooms and lotus root with cauliflower purée. Visually perfect, and tasted great too." – kosmose7 on the highlight of a recent dinner at Kajitsu
