Great Burger from Waterfront Ale House in New York City
Enjoyed it. Made a mistake with the venison burger- way too dry- more a function of the meat than the kitchen. Had a great berkshire pork sausage appetizer- both were specials. Tilapia po'boy was on point too. This was close to a year ago but it's good to hear they're still doing their thing. See pics and read more HERE.
First Look at the New Yankee Stadium Food
Good stuff. I've been to 2 games and had my fair share of food. Overall not impressed, but wasn't expecting much. The Billy Barou nachos were tops on my list followed by Lobels, and the chicken noodle bowl was decent. Still prefer grabbing a quality boars head sandwich from the Banana Deli on 161st St. for $5 and bringing it in. Thankfully we're still able to bring food in. Check out my rundown with a lot pics HERE.
Dear AHT: What's the Story Behind Jumbo and Jimbo's Burger Chains in New York City?
I've been there a couple of times- I remember hitting the one on Amsterdam off 125th and a newer one that opened on the corner of 207th and 10th Ave. Burgers are decent- but flat and wide. And yes, they steam them under the bowl- from what I remember. Beats a fast food burger.
I know they've been a Harlem institution for years. I'll speak to some folks to see if they have any further insight. I think Jim preceded Jum.

Last bite on earth:

If you're going to be near 242nd and Broadway- by the huge field- there are some options- though they might be a stop or 2 on the 1 train, or a 10-15 min walk. Also not sure what type of food you're looking for but here are some options. Cold Cut City on 231st and Godwin Terrace- a block west of Broadway- makes some serious sandwiches/heroes and has a variety of fresh prepared salads.
Another great option is Malecon on Bway just north of 231st St.- their rotisserie chicken is some of the best in the city. A couple of those for a group of people would do the job. Throw in some white rice, beans, and pastelitos. Finish it off with a fresh S&S cheesecake on 238th St. That's a party I'd want to be at.
I wouldn't recommend any of the spots by 242nd and Bway under the subway for takeout.
