M. Wells Dinner
For those who have gone to M Wells since they made their closure announcement, are they honoring reservations? I don't want to get stuck waiting a long time if they aren't really doing so.

I understand that morels are in season and wanted to see if anyone knows of any restaurants that feature dishes with morels on their menu.

Where would I be able to find fennel leaves in either Manhattan or Queens?

I just bought a jar of lucama puree (a fruit native to Chile and Peru) and am having difficulty finding recipes for lucama ice cream. Other lucama dessert recipes would also be welcome.

The Famous Dal Cart - 2nd Ave and 10 St.
Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear there's another option to get my daal fix besides Lahore.
Haleem in Jackson Heights?
Cool! Will definitely try the haleem at Spicy Mina's. I tried the one at Alauddin's today and am sad to report that it was extremely disappointing--not at all like any haleem I've had. The place that made me a fan of haleem is Haandi (in Curry Hill).

Where to go for moist cupcakes?
Tried a super tasty moist cupcake at Spot Dessert Bar recently and I imagine their other cupcakes would be similar!
Where can I find lucuma?
I tried lucuma at the Fancy Food Fest last summer and loved it and was wondering where I might be able to find fresh lucuma or lucuma puree?
bereket lentil soup secret?
I brought a friend to Bereket to try the lentil soup and she said she suspected there was cream in it--when she asked one of the people behind the counter they responded in the positive.
bereket lentil soup secret?
I'd love to know as well (and, btw, I've discovered a Middle Eastern place in Williamsburg that serves a lentil soup that's just as good on Bedford Ave between N. 7th and N. 6th Sts)--one thing I do know that they use is heavy cream!
What happened to Beard Papa?
Beard Papa seems to have closed all their stores in Manhattan--does anyone know what happened to the chain? How am I going to get my cream puff/chocolate fondant fix now?
chicken tortilla soup recommendations
Any recommendations for restaurants/eateries in Manhattan or Queens with good chicken tortilla soup?
Zabb Zabb- closed for vacation?
I tried stopping off at Zabb Zabb for lunch this afternoon and noticed they were closed--does anyone know if they're closed for vacation or closed for good?
paella?
I went to La Nacional recently and was not that impressed. Soccarat's is better but it's also pricey in my opinion.
Where in Queens can I find Thai basil?
I wanted to pick up some Thai basil for a recipe--where in Jackson Heights, Elmhurst or Woodside would I be able to find it?
Bar Milano's great deal!
I called Bar Milano today and was told they are no longer open for lunch : (
A Challenge...Where is the hottest and spiciest food in NYC?
The grilled squid salad (or, I would imagine, any salad) at Rhong-Tiam--I can handle spicy foods but I found the salad painfully spicy.
Wasabi Shumai recipe?
Really? I thought the one I tried recently was painful to eat.
Artisanal: Terrific onion soup and steak frites; a gougeres suggestion
I have to say that I was disappointed when I went to Artisanal the other evening--my husband and I had the parmesan gnocchi, chicken cooked under a brick, and duck bourguinon and, except for the cheese platter and coffee, we weren't that impressed with the food.
Good/Great Chinese around 2nd-3rd & 65th?
No great Chinese in the area that I'm aware of but the Chinese food at China Fun (2nd Ave and 64th St) is pretty good.
New Top Taco on the Upper East Side
Do they deliver? If so, do you have their number?

I actually like the chicken burgers at Better Burger which has several locations around Manhattan.
