Fascati Pizza - Henry St., BK Heights. I like this pizza. It's simple. It's NY. It's good, and I like the fact that (I think) it's a family affair - I believe the junior generation of Fascati's run the joint. I admit I have only had regular slices there, so I can't speak for the rest of their offerings, but I'd be interested to know if the famous and favorite contributor SLICE has any commentary. One last thing - I find the exterior of the place so UGLY that I almost didn't try their food, but I'm glad I got over it. As for the Chinese place next door with the same type of signage - never....

Henry's End....my friend, Alison, says that it's the Bklyn Heights neighborhood place you take your parents. Well, I've taken them and haven't been back since. I recall it's a bit more expensive than others around here, but it's not the money. The food is good. I just hate the atmosphere. It's too crowded and the ceiling vent is falling apart in the back. They do have a really kooky waitress - can't remember her name, but everyone knows her - she's amusing (once). If you advise your birth date, you get a free entree once a year - they even send a postcard to remind you.

Siggy's - also Henry St. in BH. Organic - super yum health food. I wish I could cook like this. They have everything from delicious fresh juice - my fav is the Flu Defense - to an awesome lentil soup that she makes everyday and beyond. The juice is the elixir of life if you aren't feeling well, by the way. You just need to be sure that the guy who works in the am puts in all the ingredients - my only complaint thus far with this place - he was about the give me kale, celery and orange juice for $6.75....I needed that lemon and ginger and echinacea. Anyway, it's the kind of place that, in the unusual event you get the wrong order delivered, you are still happy.

Clark's Restaurant, Henry St., Brooklyn Heights - my favorite local diner. The coffee is crappy, but the eggs are good. I live down the street and I even order in from there - it's embarassing to be that lazy...but it's true. Oh, and I'm not the only one - the place is mobbed on the weekends. They aren't even open all the time - they must be doing something right to have enough business to keep the hours they keep.

Henry St. Ale House - they renovated, and I'm not sure what that means for the food. Previously, not a place I'd consider for eating....

I know this isn't a permanent restaurant, but Irish Ice at the 9th Avenue Food Festival made me laugh my _ss off.

Despaña...mi amor.
I'm sure you've been to the original store in Jackson Heights, Ed. I never made the journey, but am LOVING the new Soho store.
I went over after work last night in hopes that they'd be open. For the record, I don't want to buy Spanish cheeses anywhere else ever again. The Mahon and Manchego I bought were so fresh!!!!!!!!! And the man at the checkout counter even gave me a container of membrillo (quince paste - Ed, I know you know) for free because I bought so much stuff.
Ed, will you please review the new store on your site - the merch, the bocadillos, etc? I figure you have to be in favor of this, and I want them to get lots of business and always be there. Thanks (this is fun). Next time I'll take a picture. Despaña - 408 Broome Street (just east of Lafayette). T: 212-219-5050 Hours: M-S 11-8, Sun 11-5.
