Dos Toros Taqueria: Mission-Style Burritos, As Good as California's?

Anyone who doesn't believe that there is good, even great Mexican food in NYC hasn't looked hard enough. Hint: it isn't to be found in shiny Manhattan restaurants covered in the Times.

What's Your Favorite Burger In New York?

Still feeling the Veselka burger, but lately, the Redhead has been my go-to burger.

Northern Spy Food Co: All the Right Stuff?

I've been twice for brunch now...The corned beef hash needed salt, but the kabocha squash and bread salad was great. Hopefully they'll listen to the people clamoring for sodium and kick up their game a notch. Once it's firing on all cylinders, it'll be a great addition to the neighborhood.

Book Giveaway: Mike Colameco's Food Lover's Guide to NYC

Zaragoza Deli on 13th street and Avenue A. A tiny deli run by a couple from Puebla that make delicious tacos/ burritos/tamales and have a rotating assortment of meats to choose from. Grab an ice cold Modelo from the fridge, grab a table in the back (only 4) and take in a soccer game on TV or the (mostly) latin sounds streaming from the digital jukebox, and enjoy!

Are Artichoke Basille's Sicilian Slices Shrinking?

I haven't had a sicilian in a while, but a recent 2am trip last weekend for a regular slice finally made up my mind: no more Artichoke for me. After a ridiculous, but standard wait while the dimwits behind the counter yukked it up and shared photos on their cell phones, I got a sad, and badly burned slice. Sauce and cheese great as usual, but the crust was a blackened, tooth-breakingly hard mess.

Now that Motorino's opened, I'll just skip the slice, and grab a margherita pie to go.

What's the best cheap mexican restaurant in Manhattan?

Between 14th and Canal, there is nothing better than Zaragoza, on Ave. A between 13th and 14th. Can't go wrong with 3 Tacos and a Modelo Especial tallboy, or the Mexican flag decorated burritos. If they have beef tongue, don't skip it.

NYC East Village Recommendations?

Best Burger: Veselka vs. Blue 9 (different styles)
Best Italian: Cacio e Pepe for pasta, Luzzos for pizza
Best Thai: Zabb City (or take out from Rhong Tiam)
Best Korean: all are mediocre, but Gama or Dok Suni
Best Indian: Haveli
Best Sushi: Kanoyama (Ebsiu R.I.P.)
Best Mexican: Zaragoza Mexican Deli...nothing else even comes close.

Don't forget The Redhead for amazing American cuisine with a Southern flair.

Momofuku Noodle Bar's Ramen, Dissed

Funny, I just had Momofuku ramen yesterday for the first time in year or so. At $17 it's overpriced, but I really don't get the visceral hatred. "Gentrified?" I'm not sure it's any more fancy schmancy than Ippudo, and furthermore, I'm not sure why that matters. Flavor-wise, I thought it was great, though a bit too salty. The 2 forms of pork were the tastiest I've had in ramen, and you can't beat the perfectly poached egg. Ippudo is still my no. 1, but Momofuku is putting out a great bowl of noodles.

Best Manhattan izakaya?

Dunno about "best," but my neighborhood (EVil) go-to is Kasadela on 11th between Ave B and C (closer to C). Great small, friendly vibe to it. Chicken wings are a must.
