Overheard on the New York Boards

"[A]s delicious as ever. ... The ingredients list pistachio, almonds, candied ginger, currants, raisins, candied lemon, cranberries, and whiskey. ... [I]t's worth a trip to Union Square and you've only got 'til Christmas Eve!" – hungrycomposer on Momofuku Milk Bar's Christmas stollen, a hound-endorsed treat that's sold only a few weeks a year at the Union Square Holiday Market

"Thinner, very crispy crust with some small spots of char on the bottom (yum). The pies are cooked directly on brick. Sauce was delicate, light, sweeter and fresher-tasting than most. Toppings (onion, pepper, soppressata) were cooked perfectly, and the onion and pepper were finely diced which made an average portion go a long way in flavor and texture. The slice was well balanced and cooked to perfection." – NickLyons on Luigi's Pizza in Brooklyn

"[P]robably one of the best summer rolls I've had in NYC! (Tom Cuon—grilled prawns in soft rice paper with rice noodles, basil and lettuce, and a peanut dipping sauce.) It was $7 for 2 skinnier-than-expected rolls, but it was well worth it since the grilled shrimp was very fresh and well prepared. The roll focused on the shrimp and didn't contain too much vermicelli. ... [I]t was delicate and well balanced." – Noodle fanatic on Co Ba
