Buttery? With only 1 tablespoon of butter? Is that correct? When I make a babka dough of roughly this size I use about 1 stick of butter.
I have a few photos of the tea culture of Turkey:

I like to add Grand Marnier (or other orange flavored liqueur) and framboise together. Maybe as much as 1.5T each per cup of cream. The same mixture is also great on any fruit salad. Sugar to taste.
While we're dreaming:
Pep Manubens (Cal Pep, Barcelona) and Musa Daðdeviren (Çiya Sofrasý, Istanbul)
to serve the most imaginative Spanish / Turkish small plates.
Waffles as street food were standard fare in Poland in the mid-1970's. Cheap, fresh and delicious. Typically loaded with fresh whipped cream, fruit compotes and nuts. I stayed away from the nuts. They were usually rancid. They were also available in Holland as well at the time but cost a lot more especially because we had changed money on the black market in Poland 3:1 over the official rate making already cheap Poland seem almost free.
It's all good but lately I've been marinating boneless pork loin for a simple roast, tacos and stir fry.
I would go to Pearl Oyster Bar on Cornelia in the West Village.
We ended up at Ken's Asian Taste, 40 Bowery, between Canal and Bayard. This is a solid Cantonese place. We pre-ordered and ended up about $12 a person with tip. According to a Chinese reading friend the name on the awning is something like "Three Brothers".
Stopped by for a take-out dinner tonight. Friendly staff with either pulled pork or brisket and a few sides on the menu. They didn't have any small containers for their excellent house made hot sauce so they comped me an entire bottle. Nice!
croquetas de bacalao!
The most extreme burger I ever ate was one I made at home. It was an oyster-stuffed blue cheese bacon burger. I shucked 2 oysters and marinaded them in Worcestershire sauce. I then sandwiched them between 2 thinner patties, sealed the edges and grilled them.
I like it served by itself, sliced thinly with crusty bread and a glass of wine.
Although not Manhattan, the Iris Cafe in Brooklyn Heights makes the best that I've tasted (other than homemade) in a long time:
We went to Thomas Beisl with another couple for dinner. My wife found shards of glass in the sauce of her chicken paprikash . We pointed this out to our server. She whisked it away and replaced it asap with a fresh plate.
They comped us the whole meal for the 4 of us including drinks.
We did leave a very nice tip.
We go to BAM, right across the street, a lot, and we've never been back. But with the choice of restaurants nearby it's not a problem. We especially like Bacchus on Atlantic Avenue. Real bistro fare at reasonable prices.
Or make your own. Restaurant Girl posted this recipe from Gramercy Tavern. I like the brioche from Amy's:

This recipe is dangerous. It's quite easy to make and reheats very nicely in the microwave.
If you get a chance make sure to visit Anderson's in Buffalo. My favorite is pistachio and they have other soft serve flavors as well.

Stay away from their beef on weck, stick to Schwabl's or Charlie the Butcher and don't forget Ted's.
Check your link for www.enjb.com - It's slightly broken, a typo.
@Chichi - Thanks for the update. But it doesn't solve the problem about what to do for lunch. Bacon-cheddar burger on the grill or Cobb Salad with tandoori chicken breast or left over "fried chicken" from Congee Village.
I think I'm going with the burger.
For something completely different check out this episode of Bronx Flavor where Baron Ambrosia visits Ann & Tony's on Arthur avenue:
I have a question about the total amount of butter in this recipe. How much goes in when you say "incorporate all the ingredients" and how much goes in when you say "Pound out cold butter"? 40 grams doesn't seem like enough.
I had lunch here recently and took a few pictures as well:

I have a group of 25 people that I want to arrange a lunch for. We will be on E. Broadway between Catherine and Market.
I can spend no more than $12 a person. Our time is limited so I'd like to order in advance so it's more or less ready when we arrive.
I'm not looking for a banquet, just a solid Chinatown lunch. The meal should have a selection of about 3 dishes served family style.
Any suggestions?
From bottom to top: brioche sandwich roll, slice of vidalia onion, roast sweet red peppers, tomato slices, burger stuffed with 2 fresh oysters and blue cheese, cheddar cheese, double smoked bacon, topped with Thai red pepper garlic sauce.

Yes! This hit the spot on a very rainy day. I went to the MacDougal St. location. I will certainly be going back for more.
