Overheard on the New York Boards

Published on Monday, October 18, 2010, by Mark Hokoda / Edit Post

"The sweet corn pancakes with bacon and bacon maple glaze is one of the best brunch items I have ever had and I am not a pancake person." – doubledoc on Back Forty

"Har gow with green wrappers turned out to have asparagus inside, which was a nice surprise. Steamed meatballs were tasty and bouncy. Steamed dark meat of chicken with crab, mushroom, and tripe on top was something I'd not tried before – good but a bit salty. Steamed BBQ pork buns, steamed lotus paste buns, char siu sou and a bunch of other baked items in pastry, siu mai, fried pork dumplings, fried chive dumplings were all solid. Siu mai were particularly good." – kathryn on dim sum at Guangzhou in Queens

"Mandelbrot (which they call mandel bread) - excellent! Rugelach (not cheap, but great and one of their best items; get an assortment). The large nut, poppy, and chocolate strudels (they will cut them into smaller pieces if you ask; I especially like the nut strudel). The small poppy and apple strudels. Black & whites, when fresh (ask if they were made today). Cinnamon sticks. Cinnamon danishes. Almond horns, with or without chocolate." – Pan's favorites at Moishe's Bake Shop

  • Thanks for pointing that out, Jim. The landing page of the Fat Annie's website (http://fatanniestruckstop.com/) doesn't mention the closing, so we missed it. We've replaced the Fat Annie's item in this post with one on Back Forty.
