Jury Duty in Manhattan
Could anyone provide some interesting/good lunch options for a stint on jury duty in lower Manhattan? I figure there are some good places down in the area and I might as well take advantage. Thanks!!!

Seeking Gift Ideas
I am seeking some unique gift ideas for someone very into food/cooking/eating/etc. I was hoping for some ideas in the mid-to-high end range, that go beyond the normal gadgets that come to mind. Maybe some kind of food or foodie experience. Thanks.

That bun looks a bit big to me. Then to throw it on that huge hunk of meat too. Not sure it is up my alley.

I don't know if Graeters is considered "commercial", but they use real strawberries (hand selected premium Oregon Totum Strawberries, they say) and it is pretty darn good.

Oooo. I love Colony in Stamford. That is the only thing I miss about the area though.

Thanks Ed. This is a great segment. I look forward to your reviews!!
Jury Duty in Manhattan
No specific cuisine in mind. I appreciate all the ideas. Last time I spent most of the breaks in Chinatown, but I wasn't too aware of the better places at the time.

Excuse me, but I think I was using the FoodBoy name first. They have a lot of nerve.
The Best Super Bowl Mail-Order Feasts: What's Your Favorite?
I haven't done it in a couple of years, as I have not held a superbowl party, but I used to order Buffalo Wings from the Anchor Bar (the originator in Buffalo, NY). They always made the trip in good shape and were a hit.
The Best Black and White Cookies? Half-Moons? Amerikaners?
Thanks growler. I will have to give Glaser's a try.
The Best Black and White Cookies? Half-Moons? Amerikaners?
William Greenbergs are the best I have had, but I am more than willing to work at confirming that finding. I remember people talking about a place on First Avenue (around 87th/88th Streets) having a very good Black & White. I don't recall the name at the moment.

*sigh*....unfortunately I don't live anywhere NEAR this place, but the burger looks glorious...I'll probably get rocks thrown at me for even suggesting this...but I would ditch the top bun, sort of 'disassemble' and eat with knife and fork...thus getting the appropriate amount of 'parts' with each bite....

Looks terrible. Is all that lettuce meant to suggest "plentiful bounty?" That slick of cheese looks like it was ladled on. Adam, you're soo right that something - anything - should have been done with the napkin settings to reference the restaurant's name - how do you put down just one napkin here, like every other place?
At least they've gotten rid of Nice Matin's once-topping for this, bitter and toothsome grilled radicchio. Uh, no.

Dude--check out the stash--a royal racing coach, a coloring book, and a nursery rhyme game can all be yours if you just get to the bottom of the boxes fast enough!

i highly recommend picking up a copy of Krazy Kid's Food by Dan Goodsell. it's one of those journal sized Taschen titles and filled with one fantastic image after another.

King Vitaman was great- somehow the name didn't sound like a sugar-bomb cereal so it was on the 'approved' list!

YIKES! King Vitaman looks like the scary Uncle you keep your kids away from.

I used to imagine that King Vitaman and Mother Nature from the Imperial Margarine commercials were involved in a passionate, tempestuous affair.

Oh sweet, sweet Quisp. How I loved thee. Several years back I'd order it online six boxes at a tiem and have it shipped...I wonder if I can still do that.
Kaboom was ALWAYS a fave, as was The King.
You can't beat breakfast with the king.
