The 3 Best Hot Fudge Sundaes in New York City

ABC Kitchen's sundae should definitely be considered for this list. It's delicious, with a great combination of salty, sweet, crunchy and chocolate.

The Black Label Blend Shines at City Burger

@jozersky: Josh, I love the book (received it happily as a birthday present) but I have to respectfully disagree on the Black Label Blend at City Burger. I was disappointed today at lunch - the flavorless overcooked burger and boring fries left me dragging my feet back to the office in defeat. My $17 for the combo (includes a fountain soda) would have been better served at 5 Napkin Burger or Prune.

I should probably also note that this was burger #3 this week so far - I was tickled pink by Park Slope's Dram Shop burger and Bar Toto panini burger so maybe I'm suffering from burnout?

Birthday Dinner

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I was hoping for more input but I do have some time before the event in January. I really like the idea of the she-bang at Alta...that was definitely on the short list before I posted the thread and it's good to see you agree, Kathryn!

Restaurant Near 50th and 7th

Molyvos is great! Cite was nice as well but unfortunately it has been close for a while.

Where to get fried pickles in NYC?

BLT burger has them too!

Favorite Wine Bars in NYC

Veloce family of bars in EV - Bar Veloce on 2nd Ave. (Italian), Bar Carrera - next door to Veloce, with a new room added this past summer (Spanish) and Solex on 1st Ave. (French). All 3 have great snacks and a nice selection of wine. Terroir has been a nice addition to the neighborhood as well.

Following the Times to Happy Beef Noodle Soup in Flushing

Anyone have recommendations on where to find this in Manhattan?

How do you describe texture of perfectly cooked shrimp?

Springy!

Pinche Taqueria: A Fish Taco Throwdown Becomes a Smackdown

Pinche is serious yum, like twice-a-week-fix type of yum. However there is a girl that works the counter there that is absolutely awful and manages to screw up an order every which way possible - I end up ordering in Spanish directly to the guys on the line behind her. Aside from her, me encanta!!

Shopsin's: Comical Rudeness

I will always have a special place in my heart for Kenny, not just because he creates delicious dishes but because he's smart, fiercely funny, hard-working and mostly because he has the guts to treat annoying people the way we all secretly want to. Minda, Zack, Mara and Luke deserve credit for keeping Shopsin's up and running as well. Dining there never fails make me laugh and smile, no matter how bad my week has been!

The Sliders at Shopsin's

An order of these with cheese and onions (and soft scrambled eggs if Kenny is in the mood) are....amazing!! I could swear he puts crack in them because I'm totally addicted.

Birthday Dinner

I've got a 30th coming up in January and need to start thinking about where to have dinner. The crowd will be a bunch of fun foodies (+/-10) so I wanted to poke around and see what suggestions Serious Eaters could drum up. Last year was a big ol' Momofuku Bo Ssam with all the fixins and I'd like to do something similar - cool atmosphere, great food, good wine, big table, and decent price (especially given the economy this year). Oh yeah, maybe something you can't/don't really do every day.

Suggest away...I'm so eager to hear what everyone has to say! I live in the East Village but that doesn't necessarily have to factor into your suggestions.
