Advice on Babbo?

my favorite favorite favorite pastas there are Garganelli with “Funghi Trifolati” and the pumpkin lune!!

Persian food

I would have to recommend Colbeh--39th btw 5th and 6th.

As an appetizer, I would ask for mix of appetizers (which would be Hummus, babaganoush and a couple of others)
Tahdig-- (crunchy rice) w/ Ghormeh Sabzi (stew)
The Kebab Barg and Koobideh are delicous.

Hope this helps..let me know if you go!

Yasuda is booked - other recommendations?

I recommend Sushi Seki.

Pure Food and Wine? What's new and recommended?

It seems that they have changed the menu since the last time I had been there... I dont remember what I had exactly and was hoping that by looking at the menu I could tell you. Sorry!
I hope you enjoy it though!! let me know if you like it and what you got.

Need Sushi recs. in Murry Hill area...

I would recommend Yama on Irving---(not really in Murray Hill but close)
sushi is yummy---but the atmosphere not so nice.

Casual UWS Brunch, 6ppl + baby

I definitely think that Sarabeths can accommodate you. Great omelets and their lemon pancakes are delicious!

Pure Food and Wine? What's new and recommended?

I do not recommend this restaurant at all. I have been there twice hoping that the second time would be better... but no.
I would recommend casa mono right down the block!

tamarind

Has anyone been to Tamarind lately? I am doing a late fathers day and want to know if I should take my family there. We are vegetarians so I feel like Indian food is always a good choice.

Brasserie 8 1/2 for Brunch?

Has anyone been to Brasserie 8 1/2 for Sunday Brunch? Is it any good for a vegetarian? Is it a buffet?
Would you recommend any other excellent buffet brunch that is good for vegetarians (that dont eat shellfish either!)---price does not matter.

Two People, What To Order At Babbo?

I feel like I leave the same message for every Babbo posting. When I go with my boyfriend , we do two appetizers, one pasta and 2 mains and of course dessert. However, I love the pasta so much that last time we got 2 pastas! We love the pumpkin lune--so delicious, it melts in your mouth and also the Garganelli with “Funghi Trifolati” (if you like mushrooms.) Both DELICOUS!!

Brussels Sprouts

I agree with Katherine---the ones at Lupa are delicious!

Best Place for Dinner in Union Square?

1- Union Square Cafe
2- Blue Water Grill
3- Gramercy Tavern

favorite bakery/ coffee shops

I'm not exactly sure what type/size place you are looking for. I like to go to 71--which is on 71 irving place in gramercy. It is small and can get very busy but I love their coffee. They have a variety of food/desserts you can order--- cupcakes, slices of cakes, muffins, bagels, sandwiches, granola, yogurt and quiches. I like the nice neighborhood feel.

Good Sushi near Union Square

I think Haru is decent sushi--you could do much better and it is overpriced. I love Yama--on Irving. Amazing sushi---small place though.

Where to take a sushi snob?

Sushi Yasuda and Seki both AMAZING!!!!!!!

Excellent Brunch Place

Any recommendations on an excellent brunch place? I like Sarabeths and Tartine and loveeee Pastis. I had the eggs norwegian at Pastis and I though it was amazing. Any other places just as good? Thanks for your help! And I would recommend those 3 brunch places to everyone!
