Éma, Syrian Ice Cream from Bakdash in Damascus
...and is there anyplace in, say, Sunnyside, Sheepshead Bay or Astoria that serves it?
Off the Beaten Path: La Espiga’s Gordita de Chicharrón
Hmmm, looks like something called a "burrita" that I got last year from one of the vendors along the right field fence at the Red Hook baseball (not soccer) fields. Apart from being split open and were instead open-faced, I'd say it resembles the terrific gorditas at Cruz Mexican Deli in outer Astoria.

Some of us prefer our bagels fully baked, Mr. Brooks.

Sugar Rush: Peep Lollipops from Bouchon Bakery
Ten normal Peeps? Rite Aid's had 10- and 12-packs of them on sale for 88 cents all week, so for $3.50 you can get 3 dozen Peeps and have enough change left over to buy a dose of insulin off the diabetic waiting on line behind you at the checkout.
Man oh man, last night me and the missus lit up some Peeps over the burner of the stove. They were mad good, their little Peep faces all brown and blistered, with a crisper shell than a normal toasted marshmallow. Now that's living.

Off the Beaten Path: Noodles With Crispy Meat Sauce from Yun Nan Flavour Snack Shop
Mmmmm. That looks like a close relative of the beef tendon noodle soup at the dumpling place on Whitney Ave. in Elmhurst. But with more crispy bits.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
I thought it was just another name for a pletzl, but that one looks like it's halfway between a bagel and a pletzl.
Incidentally, since Ms. Brown mentions southern Palm Beach County, Florida, a few miles up the road in West Boynton "Bagels &..." does a respectable pletzl.

Don't forget the cold tendon, and the Chinese celery with smoked tofu. Oh, and the sesame noodles. I love 'em extra spicy, which kicks up the numbing, citrusy Szechuan peppercorn quotient to a crazy degree while still keeping the flavors in perfect balance.
I'd advise against straying far from the Sichuan stuff on the menu. Their Chinese-American dishes are average at best and their wonton soup seems deliberately awful: the good wontons are overcooked to mush and the broth tastes a little like dishwater. It's as though they so resent making wonton soup that they want to spite anyone who asks for it. I love it the way I love cold pizza and Funyuns, but I can't really recommend it except as kitsch.
How Much Should a Hamantaschen Weigh?
Isn't hamantaschen the plural?
Those things from Trois Pommes look like very nice elephant ears folded around jam. Innovative and no doubt yummy, but not really playing the same sport, nu?

Take a trip to Buck's County Pa. Bagel Junction Cafe and Caterer's got them all beat!!
Flagel = Flat Bagel
I was taking a weekend in Bucks County Pa. When I stumbled upon a Deli named Bagel Junction in Newtown. Their Flagels and traditional Bagels are as good as any in NYC .The lines to the front door were there for a reason and their prices were a relief compared to NY. This place is like home away from home. If your craving NY food this is the place!

Éma, Syrian Ice Cream from Bakdash in Damascus
Ooh, that looks good. It reminds me of Iranian ice cream, which also has pistachios, mastic and rosewater in it (along with frozen chunks of heavy cream). Nom.
Flagel = Flat Bagel

Joe- That looks and sounds amazing.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
Have been loving flagels since 2002! They have it at the Cafe Metro on 48th and 6th Ave of all places. Not sure if other Cafe Metros carry my little breakfast heaven. I like the more crust and the more surface area for spread/filling of a flagel. Definitely better toasted.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
i live in texas and i get my bagels and bialys imported from NY/NJ, from my folks because i believe that's the only place to get good ones.
i may be a bagel snob in saying this, but i refuse to buy them down here because they are far inferior in texas or anywhere else, to what you can get up in the NY/NJ area.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
@jeninewsbite: We might know people in common, depending on how long you've been at the CRFA. Also, I was a temp there for three days a little over two years ago.
..and yeah, what Jen said about finding flagels in our neighbourhood. When Serious Eats tweeted an inquiry about where to find flagels outside NYC I tossed that fact their way.
I prefer bagels- but not at Bagel World, unless they're twisters. The last time I bought bagels at BW they tasted like they the ones that are manufactured in a factory and sold in bags at the supermarket.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
Flats are regular bagels that have been flattened out, and are generally more expensive because of the extra labor. They're crunchier and have more texture- Best Bagels in Great Neck have the best flats (nobody calls them flagels here), expecially the sunflower one. Highly recommended!

"Water-boiled fish," unappetizing as it sounds, is one of the most wonderful Sichuan dishes.

Oh, cumin lamb is fantastic! I believe it is, in fact, an Uighur dish but is very often found at Beijing or Sichuan restaurants ... because everybody loves their cumin lamb.

My only quibble with the post is that Grand Sichuan is no longer any good, and hasn't been in some time. They are now coasting entirely on reputation.
Sichuan Gourmet is the only place in Manhattan to make a proper Water Boiled Fish (they call it something different in English, ask for shui zhu yu), which is excellent.

The stir fried chicken with roasted chili and green chili is another fantastic dish amongst the many that have already been listed here. My co-workers and I have ordered from them so much now that the delivery guy says hello to me whenever I see him on the street (which is more often than you would think).
How Much Should a Hamantaschen Weigh?
I happen to like the yeast hamentashen filled with leqvar (prune butter). The ones at Ostrovitzky's Bakery on Ave J in Midwood are great!

The mini poppy hamantaschen at Moishe's Bake Shop (the one on 2nd ave bet. 6th and 7th) are really great. Very traditional approach, but done well.
How Much Should a Hamantaschen Weigh?
Years ago my mom used to make the soft pastry-dough version. All I see these days are the sugar-cookie variety. (I guess the former aren't mass produced for freshness reasons??). But alas, just like bagels the poor hamantasch has been "improved upon" so much that they have veered from the traditional.

You're right, hatless; the singular is hamantasch.

Issac's hamantaschen are made with a light, buttery pastry dough.
i think that's the trick to moist yummy hamentashen that have just the tiniest bit of crunch: buttery pastry dough. hamentashen usually bake longer than a traditional cookie, and all the butter in the dough helps keep it moist, instead of drying out and getting heavy like cookie dough can.
and if the filling looks at all florescent? don't eat it!

ed, do yourself a favor and try the cinnamon apricot hamentaschen at garden of eden. the ones we bought at their brooklyn heights store were the best i've ever had. light, airy, delicious.

I dig Zaro's version of Hammentaschen, they have both lil' and large, and aren't too sweet. They also use good jam, but have been skimping on it the last couple of years. My favorite is the raspberry.. (I know, I know..)
