Headed over to UPN ~6pm on Saturday for an early dinner to find the place shuttered up. No sign of life, and none of the businesses on either side had any idea what the deal was. I plan to be back in the city next week and will try again if this isn't a permanent closure.
for someone like me, who likes the savory flavs leaps and bounds above the sweet, this sounds like the ultimate food pairing adventure. check it:
"On Monday, July 23, from 7-10pm, come to Jimmy's No. 43 and enjoy five varieties of bacon and pickles paired with five different Sixpoint beers! On tap will be the Otis Stout, Brownstone Ale, Righteous Ale, Bengali Tiger IPA and a cask-conditioned pin of the Apollo Wheat. $20.00 gives you virtually unlimited consumption.
Jimmy's No. 43 is accessible via the F train to Second Avenue and walking 7 blocks north, or the 6 train to Astor Place and walking a couple of blocks east. Hope to see you there!"
uh.. yeah.. i'll be there. all the way from Connecticut!!!
the blue lighting makes it look moldy! glad i blew it up a bit bigger
good fried pickles in NE:
CT: eli cannon's, middletown
MA: amherst brewing co, amherst
this product is destined to fail. even the most sophisticated foodie knows the value of standard heinz ketchup. don't f--- with greatness...
poaching eggs.. no matter what techniques i try.. vinegar, whirlpool, etc. it never comes out in a nice solid mass like you see, well, on TV!!!
i know its terrible but i love paquito's in the east village. killer tortilla/salsa and cactus burritos!
in times of stress i crave large amounts of fruit, hard sourdough pretzels and soda.

great vibe, excellent selection of veg food in a laid back yet festive atmosphere.. and right in the center of the whole st. marks/ abc city area so you're right where you wanna be. check the menu:

i recently made dumplings and had to trim the skins once i folded them. threw the trimmings in some oil in a skillet and came out with a great snack to enjoy as i finished cooking.. here's the before and after pics:

very good!
The food looks fantastic. Great pics!
When I first saw their name it looked like "Terror" which caught me off guard.
The new rating system is simple and elegant.
Great review. I agree with Kerosena, prices would be great. It may be that your search for great food only lends you to write whether it is 'reasonable', I think actual numbers may prove useful for some of us.
Also, the letter grades are awesome.
Love it - succinct, just the right info and no purple prose ;-) and the pix are killer! I want those meat balls!
Ed, I'm really looking forward to your reviews...we visit the city a couple of times a year, it's quite a trip for us now that we are in NM but well worth it.
I'll be building our restaurant "must" list from your reviews. Thanks!
I really love the vibe and energy of this place. I haven't eaten real food here yet, but I finished up my night at Terroir last night with some budino, which was pretty badass, and a few beer cocktails. Ny friend, who runs their bar at insieme, created a no-hard-liquor cocktail list, and the three i've tried--the beer had egg white, nutmeg, and believe it or not rocked--have been really interesting, surprisingly tasty.
NYMag gave the drinks a friendly write-up: http://nymag.com/restaurants/features/45995/
I'm all for hearing your down-to-earth commentary on restaurants, but you may want to include price-point information as well. I've been impressed by the food at Terroir, but I think it's a little precious for how much you pay. Great idea on the Grading scale, btw, starts do little justice to the good, small places.
Thanks, Ed. This new feature will come in handy for the several times I visit the city each year. I'm always looking to try paces I've not been to before. In future reviews, will you consider including price ranges?
They've had them for years at Penguin Drive-in in Charlotte NC. They're served with a spiced mayo type of dip - very tasty.
I've been eating them all of my life! They were always on the Toot's menu in Murfreesboro, TN. Best ones in Orlando are at Jocakamo's New Orleans Kitchen!
Side note: I only like the chips. I've had the fried spears several times and they miss out on the crunch factor and tend to get soggy quickly.
Though they do have them at Cheeseburger in Paradise, they are not very good. They don't use the right batter, so they come out gritty somehow. But here in GA, there are plenty of places serving them up--Fox Bros BBQ being my favorite so far, but I have heard good things about the ones at The Glenwood.
