I'm sure there are less touristy places, but we loved Jestine's Kitchen when we were there 3 years ago. All our food was great including the fried green tomatoes and fish n' grits... but if you go, make sure someone at the table orders the fried chicken..my kids still talk about it and they only ate the leftovers I brought home.

Switchback

...a Northern Vermont micro. only available on tap.....Mmmm!!

Chinatown Ice Cream Factory

mixed berry cobbler with a dollop of homemade lemon curd.....or a bowl of homemade lemon curd with a dollop of mixed berry cobbler.... either way is fine..... I'm not picky.

I have actually eaten NorthernBBQ's Atomic Buffalo Turds....cautious at first..then ate about 7....too good!!!!!

I order Keurig cups from coffeeforless.com all the time and have never had a problem.

I made the NYT bread twice this past weekend and I agree..the crust is great (I used cornmeal) and the inside tender. My only problem is how sticky the dough was while I worked with it. I worked on a Silpat with flour and still was struglgling to fold and form into a "ball". I was afraid of over-flouring in fear of a tougher bread. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is?

Bleecker Street Pizza - on the corner of Bleecker and 7th Ave. Try the Nonna Maria slice.

Jonathan and Nina White make amazing cheeses at Bobolink Dairy up in Vernon, NJ. (I believe they also attend the Union Sq. Greenmarket on Fridays). The cage aged cheddar is outstanding and the one they call Frolic might be the best cheese I've ever eaten!!
