The Boyfriend went up to take a pic with the panda, but I wouldn't touch anything with a cheesy mascot and unabashedly try to be the next KFC. I'm glad you are brave enough to try so I don't have to. For that I thank you.

Ming Tsai and his Mom made bings one day on his PBS show and they looked awesome. Ming made cheeseburgers with the works and totally encased them in bing dough. Yummy!

We often go to Comfort Diner (45th between 2nd & 3rd) on lazy weekends and their eggs and pancakes are great.

I tried it last night. I liked it and ate the whole thing. Sure the freshly made roti pancake is greasy, but isn't it supposed to be for it to be delicious? I got the beef and egg. I think the egg helped. Thinking what would happen if I put a really good burger patty or some roast pork in there :)

Well anyway, thanks for writing about it. I'm glad I tried it.

Dang, Kung Fu Bing sounds right up my alley. Might have to try it today.

I have to say Farinella is getting better and better as each week goes by. The owner is introducing new things to the menu daily. Fresh gnocchi alla sorrentina, rice balls, potato croquettes, and my personal favorite the napoli calzone with escarole and black olives. The place gets packed for lunch. I'd rather pay for Farinella's escarole calzone any day than to pay $5 for a DiFarra slice. I was skeptical at first, but I see excellent progress thus far, and I see an owner who is dedicated in offering people different options with his daily specials.

There is a fabulous confection boutique on Park Ave btwn 58th and 59th that serves up the best gelato I've ever had. The brand is called Taste Gelato Artigianale, made fresh daily with all natural ingredients. There is a debut for the gelato on June 4th and 5th. I highly recommend it!!!!

Farinella has potential. The area has a mix of Government workers, law school students, and Citigroup workers. Slices are steep in price, and a little rubbery. While the slices look absolutely genuine in Roman style, they sometimes seem like they have been laying there. The sandwiches are served on bread that really cuts the roof of your mouth. The products are great, but they use very little buffalo mozzarella on their "buffala" slice. All in all, when it's said and done, can they survive in the Government/Financial district. I feel like if this place was in the Village would bloom better than it has in recent weeks. Broadway/Worth is a ghost town on the weekends. The staff is attentive and polite, i think most people aren't used to Roman style pie, especially in that neighborhood.

Hi all... new user... with great news If you like the "It's It" ice cream sandwich. They sell them in the freezer at a place called Greene Grape Provisions ..753 Fulton St
(between Elliott Pl & Oxford St)
Brooklyn, NY 11217

Every time I've been to Pacific Standard and asked about the It's-It, the only flavor they have is mint. It's fine, although often a little smushed. I don't know if it's because other flavors sell faster, or if the mint ones are cheaper, but I'm always disappointed since mint ice cream is not one of my favorites.
