Yes. I went to the noodle bar. I had the momofuku ramen which was good, although a Japanese person will probably tell you "that's not ramen!" We ordered the pork bun as usual which we loved. My bf ordered the three course prix fixe lunch- fried oyster bun, Chicken noodle soup and soft serve. We were especially impressed by the chicken noodle soup-homemade chicken broth, chicken meatball, homemade noodle, with basil!

The Mermaid Inn which was excellent (The skate wing was very good.)
Momofuku and Chikalicious on the same trip (Chikalicious was interesting.)
Serafina at Madison and 79th after the NYC fashion night out, which was by the way kind of pointless; however, I enjoyed what my favorite store had to offer.
Salumerai Rossi (Dellicious!)
Barney Greengrass (loved it! Scramble eggs with salmon and onion was the best I ever had. My bf had smoked salmon and Sturgeon! )

Thanks, already left NY, but was staying at 100's and Broadway. Any recommendations for my next trip out there?

We went to Salumeria Rossi. Loved it! Everything was delicious and the portion is perfect- not toot much, which is usually the problem with many Italian restaurants. Can't wait to go back. Thanks!

Corti Bros or TJ's for Parmesan-Reggiano (Sacramento)?

I love the Corti's experience (the only supermarket-sized Italian market I've been to in CA), and imagine that they cut their own wheels of cheese in-store, something that TJ's certainly does not do. This exposes the pieces to less air, and thus, have a fresher taste. I really miss Corti Bros. Nothing like here in San Diego.

Well, I don't mind taking the subway if the food is good! Thanks for the recommendations for Italian.

Your recommendation looks great. Thanks. Do you recommend Babbo or Lupa? Which Batali restaurant do you prefer?

As a former New Yorker and food lover, I am always excited to come back to the city for "food." I have been here for a week and have eaten at Rancho's, Calle Ocho, Village Yokocho- I was just not happy with my meals. They are all friends' suggestions. During my last trip, I have discovered Momofuku and Mermaid Inn and really enjoyed it. I also like Sushi Gari. I am here for a few more days. Any recommendations? Is there any good Italian places uptown by the way?
