Depends what yer lookin' fer. There was this great diner in Brooklyn but they closed up. I could recommend The Square Diner on Varick in downtown, or Jekyll & Hydes on 57th. Th' McDonald's on 42nd is great too. The Moondance Diner on 6th's a li'l pricy, but worth th' food an' to see all th' Spideys on their menus.

But nothing, NOTHING ever tops a dirty water dog from a vendor.

i thought the blackout was kind of cool too. i like the way all the bodegas in my neighborhood brought out baskets of goods to sell at the front entrance- and if you needed something else they'd go get it for you.
One of the bigger places had a tiny emergency generator going, just enough power to run some "miner" lights along the aisles. it was weird. but cool.

best place(s) to eat?
Mamouns.
That little Jamaican place on Sullivan has good vege patties (it's just up the block from a comic shop, too)
Italian: Tello's (west side n.19th i think)
Just Pizza: Two Boots. (Or Maria's on N.7th in Williamsburg)
Planet Thai in Williamsburg is fun too.

Oh yeah, best pizza I ever had was on 18th an' 75th in Brooklyn.

Heh I worked fer a big supermarket at th' time, in fact was my day off an' they called me in. They were closin' when I got there 'cause they got no generators. Morons.

Well there's this small diner named Old John's in Columbus Circle.. I used to take my ex there all the time.. best damn steak and eggs I ever had.. it's small and quiet.. really nice.

to get the best hamburgers.. there's this place in the upper east side in the 60's... called Jackson something... amazing.

Cake Man Raven's in Brooklyn for red velvet cake. a slice is as big as a whole cake other places. Damn good.

Of course tehre's Junior's in Brooklyn. Their hamburgers are great too.

Nathans...

Nathan's hot dogs put all others to shame. IMO

 

[maxwell's demon]

esp. from Coney.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Meh. Nathans is hit or miss. Dirty waters are always great.

Nathans burgers are good, though, but too small to be worth $4.

The Malibu Diner down in the Chelsea is very good. I've mentioned 8 Mile Creek, the Australian place in this thread before, and that's very good. Cabana at Pier 17 is great for Cubano food, and Sevilla down in the West Village has fantastic Spanish food (the sangria at both of those places is awesome, by the way).

WHITE CASTLE! Almost forgot! You gotta hit up WC! Taste just as good comin' up as they did goin' down. Mmmmm, White Castle...

Jackson Hole? If so, there's also one in Queens.

My Girlfriend, her sister, and I once had a hilarious experience at Junior's. too long to get into here. I actually thoght the food was jsut so-so, even the cheesecake.

The Lavrador on 101 st. has pretty good food.I dont trust any street vendors food.Unsanitary.

Yup.. that's it.. Jackson hole.. those burgers are monsterous..

and I love Juniors.... I only ordered their burgers so I don't know what the other food is like... I love thier cornbread though... I can eat a mountain of that stuff.

And the cheesecake.. I bought one a few weeks ago... it's satanic.

 

[maxwell's demon]

oh- Bubby's (tribeca) has a great burger too- and their biscuits are awesome.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Why, 'cause th' news tells ya they are? Please...I've been eatin' dirty waters fer years an' I've never gotten sick.

 

[maxwell's demon]

you built up immunity.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]

Max, that place on N. Moore?

 

[maxwell's demon]

i can't remember the exact address- its on the corner on the west side a few blocks below Canal. They have great desserts too. actually most of their food is good.

 

[WOLVERINE25TH]
