Celebratory Break-Up Dinner

When I broke up with someone I bought a 50 euro bottle of red wine and drank it with my dinner than night. Felt awesome.

hashbrowns look awesome, can anyone answer this question?
Why in Colorado when I ordered hashbrowns it was just potato and in NYC there's usually corned beef in them, is that an East Coast thing?

I posted my thoughts on this burger to http://irishfatty.blogspot.com - I think your review is spot on though, you can't declare this the best burger until you're tried it a few times, I got the sunset and vine and it was too messy.

This looks fantastic, I'm totally going here tonight. From the looks of it it's basically In-n-Out and Shake Shack, in NYC. Also Lion Force Voltron ftw.

You guys take this shit way too seriously. - Napoli pizza is the only pizza, calling the stuff they server here in the states pizza is like calling a kebab a burger because it's meat between bread.

Delia Smith Complete how to cook.
Growing up in Ireland my mother always had a flour stained, grease spattered edition in the kitchen as she cooked her latest concoctions.

I used it and practised the recipes throughout my youth, everything from how to boil an egg to how to roast a goose.

When I got my first apartment my mother gave me a brand new copy, I'm hoping one day it'll be as dog eared and impressive looking as my mother's tome to culinary experimentation.

OK, this Bostonian be in the Meatpacking District/Chelsea for one afternoon next weekend, and cannot decide whether to go to Bill's or Shake Shack for a burger.

I'm leaning toward SS. Anybody want to convince me otherwise?

Thanks!

Where To Eat Out On Thanksgiving In New York: The Restaurants

@NYminknit if you associate great food with a high price tag you're probably not a "foodie" in the first place.

BTW, I despise the word "foodie."

And I agree, let's here some of the other options out there!

Where To Eat Out On Thanksgiving In New York: The Restaurants

@NY: Non - foodie friendly? This site is not exclusively for foodie type places or meals. And cooking at home is not an option for me, it is too small and I wanted my few family members and I to meet in a location that isn't a 2-3 hour travel. I will not go into more detail - but cooking at home for either of us is not an option.

One other dish where New York beats Philadelphia, crow. New Yorkers will be eating it for a year starting a few games from now.

Meanwhile, Philadelphians will be eating hot dogs as Paesano's http://unbreaded.com/2009/10/29/name-this-phillies-sandwich-at-paesanos/

Where To Eat Out On Thanksgiving In New York: The Restaurants

There's Sylvia's and Veselka, for cheaper options. Soul food/southern food places in general offer more family-style meals for less for Thanksgiving.

But @QueenAlli, the recession option is cooking at home--it's rare that NY higher end restaurants offer a la carte on Thanksgiving. (I should know, I have eaten out every Thanksgiving in New York since 1996.) I am sympathetic to the recession issue (totally in need of money myself) but I think that for "non-foodie friendly" options you should go to a non-foodie site. Like Yahoo.

From Serious Eats: New York

Yankees vs. Phillies: The Serious Eats World Series

@simon: hot dogs are hardly bourgeois dining. Besides, North Jersey beats both cities when it comes to hot dogs. Sabrett originated in Jersey City, N.J. and was usurped by New York. We also have Best's, Thumann's, Schickhaus, and others.

Celebratory Break-Up Dinner

Go to Balthazar. It's fun, lively, has a fantastic menu (all price points, delicious, too) and just feels celebratory.

(Otherwise, my vote goes to Public - also a really fun atmosphere and a really memorable menu. Plus, if you want to keep drinking afterwards, you can hit up the Monday Room.)

Cheers!

From Talk

Celebratory Break-Up Dinner

Public does a "Sunday Supper" every week that's like a mini-tasting menu -- 5 courses, chef's choice, for $50. If you're looking to celebrate your greater food freedom, that could be fun! The menu a couple of weeks ago was very tasty and not too overwhelmingly huge, and like cg_ups said, the atmosphere is lively but not crazy loud (on Sundays at least).

Gotta cosign the recommendations by charm city cupcake. All very good restaurants. Saul is a bit on the pricey side but it should fit into the budget of $ 20-25. Food is great. The Vanderbilt just opened (Vanderbilt and Bergen) which is Saul Bolton's new restaurant...supposed to be good as well.

congrats bisou!
I just went though a similar situation and my GF and I polished off a few bottles of thoughtfully-selected wines and a few blocks of cheese LOL!
Wish I could be of more help; enjoy!

Celebratory Break-Up Dinner

the brooklyn suggestions were all excellent, good to see that my neighborhood is well represented (heyoo smith street!). i like public. the food is good, and it's pretty lively so good for a celebratory night out. friend of a farmer sucks. sorry to be blunt, but don't waste a fun night out on that over-rated yuppie hellhole. if you want to stay in manhattan, there are so many great places in that price range. i'm just going to pick a neighborhood and say west village: little owl, perilla, mary's fish camp, pearl's oyster bar, market table, aquagrill (soho but had to throw that one in), morandi, the place, extra virgin (italian, but more rustic not a typical red sauce joint), so many choices. enjoy your night out!

From Talk

Celebratory Break-Up Dinner

Thanks for all the suggestions and well-wishes everyone! Although I did phrase it in terms of a break-up dinner, it really is a celebration of me getting back to my normal (better) self--ex loved eating but not food per se, and always criticized my "picky" (aka, not Papa John's) taste. I'll definitely check out some of these places; we were also thinking of No. 7, Public, or Friend of a Farmer if anyone has been to any of those places.

nyc diners tend to have corned beef hash but not hashbrowns. unfortunately.

How about either Otto ( http://www.ottopizzeria.com/) or Boqueria SoHo ( http://www.boquerianyc.com/index2.html ) both are great places for groups, fairly affordable, and have perfect atmospheres for ordering lots of small plates to share and wine (or sangria in Boqueria's case).

A burger on an english muffin is like a bluegrass band with drums.

Sure, you can do it. Some people may even like it, but it don't make it right.

Can someone explain exactly how smash grilling works? It seems to be very popular. I see it was described as what Steak & Shake do... I'm really not a fan of Steak & Shake, as I find their product to be too greasy.
