Is it just me or were 90% of those food items fried in some manner? Ah, in true food court fashion.

The melting peeps photo is amazing. Like a clown car crash that you just can't turn away from.

The cinnamon babka from Zabar's is DIVINE. The chocolate one however, is just alright.

I have a friend who is vegetarian because she believes it will "make her thin." Of course, she will never admit this and instead skirts around the answer when asked why she embraces the herbivore lifestyle.

A big, big pet peeve is when people judge what you are about to eat. "Ew, are you really going to eat that? Ew, I can't believe anyone would eat that." Yes, I AM going to eat this and it's so delicious, I'm not going to share ANY of it with YOU. I know someone who constantly passes judgment on food without any knowledge of the culinary world. This same person has the most dreadful, absolutely boring diet of whole-wheat bread with lettuce or crackers with peanut butter. That's it. I ask how dare she question the amazingly wonderful food I eat? I now refuse to dine out with this person because I'm constantly infuriated by their menu choices!

No Jacques Torres representing the UWS? It better show up in the BK or West Village showdown!!

Not brown-nosing, but I really do love Serious Eats :)

@princexy, I'm totally with you! I'm a non-mixer myself-- believe me when I say we exist, Grace! I like choosing what I get in each bite (much like a chipotle burrito bowl) and think the slushy grey post-mix look is quite unappetizing.

Ed, what do you think of Big Nick's on 76 and bway?

I had my first Di Fara experience a couple of months ago (pre-$5 slice) and went on a weekday afternoon around 3 PM (I believe it was a Tuesday or Wednesday). There was no line. My friend and I walked right up to the counter, ordered a full pie, and enjoyed it at one of the tables within 20 minutes.

Betty Crocker's Cookbook-- the ultimate classic!

Meg Ryan's orgasm scene from "When Harry Met Sally." (Sorry momstheword to copy your answer but it really is my fave too!)

S&C really is the best slice in UWS. Sad news for the food and NYC community today.

I caught this film at the Food for Thought Film Festival in NYC this past weekend and loved it! I never thought I would get so into asparagus but it really was a fascinating look at the politics behind the vegetable and Oceana, the self-proclaimed "Asparagus Capitol of the World." I'd highly recommend it if they are ever showing it in your area.

The movie also showed me there is an endless bounty of asparagus paraphernalia-- stainless steel asparagus sink stop, anyone??
