Have been away all summer.
So I left NYC for my new job in London in May.
Returning for a visit next weekend, what's opened over the summer that's awesome and I must try?
The best breakfast I ever had was made by my bro's missus, it was eggs benedict with bagels instead of english muffins, streaky bacon instead of canadian, homemade hollandaise and a side of salad with all the trimmings with fresh cut strawberries and a balsamic reduction, I've never had a better breakfast since.
Logging in after a year hiatus in London to say this is my favourite takeaway restaurant in New York City. If you didn't have the chorizo tacos or the sopes carnitas you haven't eaten here.
Huipil is closed.
Lol +1 for DanielJ
that sucks Kenji, RIP
My girlfriend loves Irish pub burgers (corner bistro/JG Melon) I would love to see how to make her the perfect one.
Also the bitterballen in Vandaag in the East Village pretty much blows the stuff I had in Dutch bars away (although that stuff was frozen admittedly and Vandaag make theirs fresh). I might have to take a trip to Vandaag now, damnit!
As someone who lived in Rotterdam I can tell you that broodje haring (herring bread) is kind of a seasonal thing (June I think) because herring come in fresh at a certain time of year.
Not sure if you got a bad one but the pickled herring and onion rolls that I ate in Holland over the year I was there were fantastic.
You missed out on filet american (steak tartare on a bread roll) I used to love that stuff!
brisket looks amazing.
guhhhh so hungry right now.
+1 for beemoh's idea, could do that in a future episode of slice!
Was it Kenji? That sounds horrendous by the way.
Ah my hood. Pizza Suprema is definitely the best by a mile. I love how they usually have a pie hot out of the oven if you go for the plain slice.
Careful though, eating it on the street I've probably burned the roof of my mouth tens of times.
The thing about Amadeus is that they're open until some crazy hour so if you've got the munchies and you need a quick delivery at 4am they're the only option and they deliver by the slice. To be honest their buffalo wings are better than their pizza! Their burgers however are horrendous cafeteria pucks.
Get a Pie Minister Pie on the southbank. Extra points if you get it with somerset cider. Oh Glastonbury you cannot come fast enough!!!

scratch that didn't read your comment properly, they're only good for italian style.
Esposito's pork shop Hells Kitchen
quail eggs can be found in the korean market in koreatown.
best thing in chipotle I think are the salad bowls, still not great for you but their shredded pork and shredded beef rule with a lot of red (hot) salsa.
Don't know why Shepard's Pie in America is made with beef. Surely Shepard would imply lamb, which is the trad Irish way...
It all is making me homesick though.
I'm Irish and have no idea what this is.
I tried Citarella in the village and they didn't have them. Guess I'll check the Chelsea market.
Thanks guys!
Pizza Suprema.
mrbmg, no you don't.

My girlfriend is used to scallops coming in the shell in her home country and particularly likes the yellow part.
We looked everywhere in Chinatown and were unable to locate any fresh scallops, we could only find frozen or fresh out of the shell.
Does anyone know anywhere in the city that sells them in the shell and fresh caught that day?
Thanks!
So My girlfriend is French and is always looking for an authentic crepe. We tried Bar Breton but their fancy riff on crepes didn't sit will with her, she just wants a goto place cheap like in france for an authentic french style crepe preferably with good chocolate fillings. Any recommendations that put nutella near a crepe will be disqualified and mocked.
Advice?
I was wondering if hand slicing meat like in Katz's is superior to machine slicing because of the friction heat created by a spinning blade. A friend and I disagreed over it. I'm thinking it would adversely affect things like cured meats etc, but what about cooked meats?
Someone asked me where in NYC to go for good Australian food. I said, I don't know, but I sure as hell know a site that will... Suggestions?
Don't say Outback.
Does anyone know where you can get an Authentic French baguette in NYC? I have been to France many times and whatever way they make their baguettes I have never seen the elasticity of the dough and the crispness of the crust replicated outside of France.
