Overheard on the New York Boards

"I've now had Ma Sophie cook Burmese for me twice ... Both times the meals were miraculous. I honestly don't know how she does it. This is very very highly recommended. She's there pretty much all the time, you just have to ask for her. And there are huge language barriers, so I just basically let her cook whatever she wants. Generally $20-25/person for a huge multi-course banquet, more if you get crab (and you should)." – Jim Leff on the Burmese owner of Excellent Thai in Queens

"Giulio fries a smallish round of dough first, punching down the center so the edges puff up but the center stays so thin as to be nearly translucent. While still warm, he spreads it with tomato sauce and dots it with mozzarella. It’s baked for slightly less time than a typical Neapolitan pizza — which is to say, not very long at all. Then I observe a moment of silence — sweet, gluttonous silence." – tupac17616 on the Montanara pizza at the new Manhattan location of Forcella, a hound favorite in Brooklyn

"[M]y girlfriend just got me a rainbow cookie cake at Bruno Bakery on LaGuardia ... it was awesome." – sam1
