A Sandwich a Day: Tuna Melt at Classic Coffee Shop

Any idea if the ham served on the breakfast sandwich is Taylor Ham (pork roll)?

Serious Eats Neighborhood Guides: John DeLucie's West Village

I previously thought this guy was the worst. Now, after reading him doing less with this feature than I think every other chef featured in the past, my thought has been confirmed.

Mayfield: A Welcome Addition to Crown Heights

sounds just wonderful. i live within walking distance and will be going

Upper West Side: Harriet's Kitchen's Cheeseburgers Haven't Aged Well

I don't know if it's just the photo, but that don't look pink to me.

Salvation Taco: April Bloomfield's Offbeat Taqueria in Murray Hill

I'm wondering if Carey is starting to get the star/noticed reviewer treatment. The Voice reviewed the Tortas today and had a totally opposite experience with the chicken. Pictures look totally different too.

American Flatbread: A Dose of Sweetness at NY Pizzeria

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but what exactly is in the Medicine Wheel Pizza? Just a plain pie?

Center Bar in the Time Warner Center: Michael Lomonaco Does Small Plates

I agree that the price for those cocktails is unfortunate, but given the location it's neither really surprising nor unreasonable.

5 Best Happy Hours in Nolita, NYC

Prima is a tad north (probably the EV), but their daily 5-7 PM, 2 for 1 on all oysters and cocktails bears a mention. So good.

A Sandwich a Day: Grilled Fish at Maysville

Had dinner here for my birthday last weekend. Just a lovely meal.

We Eat Every Arepa at Caracas Arepa Bar

These pictures are wonderful.

Where to Drink Cocktails in Astoria and Long Island City, Queens

You really think the Radegast crowd/vibe is markedly superior to the Beer Hall? Every time I've been to the former it's been so loud (with yes, fratty types) it's impossible to hear the person talking across from you. I prefer it's beer and food to the Bohemian Beer Hall, but in my experiences there it isn't positively distinguishable in terms of overall environment.

Good Bread: Alfama, Portuguese Bread in Midtown East

As someone who spends a lot of time in Newark, I'd love a Serious Eats overview of the best of the Ironbound. Do I have any hope?

We Chat With Pastry Chef Alex Ray of North End Grill

It's not really important, but the point I was making was that if that's what she was doing prior to law school, it's likely she was never wanting for money, and going into pastry was not as financially risky for her as the article makes it seem. From personal experiences, I know that most people work through the period that they study for the test, or do so while they're still in college. Others, if they want to buckle down and just concentrate on the LSAT alone, quit their jobs and move home to study. I've never heard of someone moving to Micronesia to study. I obviously don't know her circumstances, but it sounds like a rich person thing to do.

Moving to an island in Micronesia to study for the LSAT for 8 months? Thus ends the sympathetic-I-don't-any-money theme.

L'Apicio: Crowd-Pleasing Italian In the Best of Ways

i think you can make reservations at both l'artusi and dell'anima

First Look: Cocktails at Tooker Alley in Brooklyn

I was there this Saturday. A super friendly, unpretentious place, with great drinks and a great playlist. Also, the glasswear he's using is incredibly cool looking and classy. Will be back many times. It's a keeper. Some nice competition for Weather Up in the hood.

Mexican Eats: Austin Comes to Brooklyn at Güeros

Great spot. Nice that it's getting some play on this great site. But let's have some neighborhood pride, huh? This is squarely in Crown Heights. PH ends east of Washington.

Bronx Eats: Finding Garifuna At The Edge of Crotona Park

Also far from common knowledge is who the Garinagu are or Garinagu food us, something this article makes no attempt to explain.

M. Wells Dinette: Long Island City Strikes Back

this is extremely exciting

Sugar Rush: Torta di Zucca at Del Posto

kind of a tough picture

The Pines: Brooklyn Cuisine Sets a Stake in Gowanus

i actually think the writing in this one was a little clunky, noticeable because SENY reviews are usually less cumbersome than the field.

restaurant looks pretty enticing. hopefully they'll read this and take a few of the suggestions to heart.

Bar Eats: Macao Trading Co.

How do you eat a bone-in piece of meat on a bun? Practically, I mean.

First Look: The New Brunch Dishes at Union Square Cafe

that looks to be an incredibly delicious, remarkably expensive bite or two of lobster.

Hangover Helper: Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Fried Rice at Talde in Brooklyn

Whoa, you wrote pretty much the exact same thing!

Hangover Helper: Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Fried Rice at Talde in Brooklyn

This stuff awakens some crazy carnal instinct to eat, and eat fast, despite how heavy it is. I've only had it once but dream of having it again.
