The sandwiches, salads & coffee at Paradiso are all awesome. Really fresh ingredients, interesting flavor combinations & awesome staff. Although if you're just getting off of a night of heavy drinking or looking for a quick take out bite, my go to sandwich spot is still Sunny & Annie deli on 6th & B. They've been helping me get over hangovers since 2001. I don't know what they put in the sandwiches (crack maybe?) but they are just really damn good... ----- |

I used to go to Bond Street a lot as my friend worked in the lounge downstairs. I haven't been there in a while, but I was particularly fond of the Sea Bass skewers. They're more of a appetizer sized dish, but honestly I can't explain how good they are. Give them a try when you're there. I understand your view of Bond St. My last dining experience upstairs for my father's birthday was a complete & utter disaster & I have not been back since. The food was great, but the service ruined the entire meal. I hope things go better for you. Enjoy! |

Peking Duck, Chinatown for Thanksgiving The duck there is great (perhaps the best in Chinatown?), but you will have to get a reservation as the Mayor noted. |

Bill's Bar & Burger: OMG I Agree with Alan Richman (Sort Of) I went to Bill's 2 weeks ago & I have to admit that the burger was suspect at best.I hope they're going to sort things out over there... |

Where to buy a sausage stuffer? You could check Chef Restaurant Supply on Bowery & Houston, but I'd go to Bowery Kitchen Supply in Chelsea Market. I thing Waring makes a stand alone grinder/stuffer. ----- |

Mesa Grill Dress Code..First time???? No jacket is required. Last time I went there I was in khakis with sneakers & a dress shirt. No probs. |

Under the Radar - East Village Recs Wow. I've never had a bad meal at Royale! I totally suggest Casimir, Kasadela, Minca, Kafana & Luke's Lobster... ----- Kasadela Kafana Minca |
|
|
Excellent write-up... I really have to try Public out... |
|
|
I thought for $14 that the lobster roll was a bit on the small side but I will agree that it was delicious. |
|
|
I've always enjoyed Jewel Bako, but I do think it's a bit on the expensive side. I do prefer Yasuda though... |
|
|
Wow. Is Marfa really that bad? |
|
|
Braised oxtails - help please.. I'd normally agree with you there, but not when it's being served in a sauce on rigatoni! my foodie blog; http://www.thursdayclubnyc.com |

|
I've been to Porchetta a few times & have absolutely no complaints with the place... |
|
|
Momofuku Ssam - Bo Ssam, will I ever have it? Heck, I'd love to join in on a Bo Ssam outing! I'll clear my schedule!!!! |

Thanks for the replies guys - I'll be going raw then. I too would love to have a gander at your recipes! Thanks again! |

I'm really, really fed up with the storebought frozen stuff, so I've found a bunch of recipes online for the homemade version of these patties. I'd like to cook a bunch & then freeze/re-fry them as needed. I'm unsure as whether to freeze the patties raw, or pre-cooked. I'm leaning towards that latter. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Need recession reco's for East Village! Grand Sichuan get's my vote! Foods is good & the pricing is excellent. ----- |

Single guy, first time in NYC, but going solo... Right there in the Maritime is La Bottega which serves up really good Italian. I've been there several times & really enjoy it. You might be loathe to eat in the hotel, but trust me, the food is good & there's normally an interesting crowd there. I recommend the pork chop. http://www.thursdayclubnyc.com ----- |

I've eaten at Village Yokocho several times & have never been disappointed (although I cannot comment directly on the yakitori). I have yet to go to Taisho. Is that the place on the North side between 2&3rd that's always packed/line out the door? my foodie blog http://www.thursdayclubnyc.com |

I second Barrio Chino. Very good, fun atmosphere & some really interesting Margarita combinations! my foodie blog; http://www.thursdayclubnyc.com |

Fresh fish at St. Mark's church green market I totally agree with you. I never knew there was a greenmarket there, thanks for the info - I'll be checking it out next week! |
|

Quick NY Bagel Poll: H&H or Ess-a-Bagel I just read that H&H got shut down due to past due taxes... I think that knocks one contender out of the running. |

If you're at all interested in BBQ, try RUB ____ ----- |

Dim sum for a large party - chinatown, NYC? For such a large party, Golden Unicorn might be your best bet, particularly on a Sunday... |
|
|
Honestly, I'm not going to shed a tear for Le Miu. I loved the staff, but I think it was far too expensive. Ebisu, on the other hand, I will miss. |
|
|
best pub fish & chips around east village/stuytown? I really enjoyed the Fish & Chips at Butcher Bay. They were not greasy at all, but I couldn't tell you if they were beer battered. ----- |
|
|
Great Rest. Near Alphabet Lounge (104 Ave. C @ 12th St.) I agree with Kasadela or Mercadito, both excellent options, but on a Sat., Mercadito might be packed. Best of luck! |

Group of 11 in their mid 20s seeks fun manhattan restaurant I second Tortilla Flats. The food isn't anything to write home about, but the atmosphere is amazing. If you like tequila-based drinks & happen to get Royston as your waiter, you're sure to have a blast! ___ |

I watched with much excitement as the place was fitted out as I often walk down 4th Street. I went there with my parents shortly after on my Dad's birthday. I was totally & utterly disappointed by the meal & experience. I never went back there & I am not surprised that they closed. ____ |

Restaurant with a lounge or club scene for my 30th b-day Great recommendation. I ate a La Bottega last weekend & it was amazing (get the pork chop!). Cabanas is fun too, though I've never been there in winter... |
