Cucumber Shake Found!
The menu says the cucumber is in "light syrup" whatever that means. It tastes creamy, not syrup sweet. Here is a link Sinh To & other Viet drinks on googlebooks: http://books.google.com/books?id=ef7uLfhufaYC&pg=PA170&dq=sinh+to+recipe It looks like you can mix or substitute coconut milk with condensed milk but otherwise just crushed ice & fruit. I also like the Sinh To ($3) at New Tu Do (102 Bowery @Hester). They have carrot, papaya, watermelon (mmm), mango, sapota & soursop flavors. You can get them to go at the counter. HOT Weather is coming!!!
Cucumber Shake Found!
It's a Vietnamese Sinh To which adds condensed milk for sweetness. Asian foods often stand Western notions of Sweet/Savory on our heads--which I love. Try a spoonful with a dab of Sriracha for a savory flip. They also make a rich avocado shake and a mean durian shake. Beef Pho is excellent or try the Pho/Grilled Chicken cut up the chicken into Pho and let sit. Yum.
B&B Restaurant, the New African Steam Table in Chelsea
All kinds of offbeat, cheapo ethnic place pop up in the West 20s-30s to serve traders in the Garment/Wholesale trades. I noticed it right after I had lunch. Thanks for checking it out.

I tried this place today and asked for the burger salted and from scratch medium rare. Waiter says "We don't salt". OK. Comes back TWO MINUTES later with a dry grayish burger. I don't think it was made from scratch. It was 1130am and there were 10 people in there. The service seemed more FU than NY Sweet and Sour.
