Superfood Nyc

[mlproject]

what your favorites? what are the best cheap/authentic/tasty eats?

i still can't find a to go margarita or decent mexican.

[anonymous]

Dumpling House on Eldridge - a few blocks down from Trackstar - is insanely cheap and insanely delicious.

[mlproject]

i have to agree with you on that.

current favorites also include chickpea, larmen (maybe this has another name) at 56th and 6th for pork bone soup, and jas mart for snacks and green tea.

shit is so fucking gross.

It's like eat a bowl of grass and diarrhea (verb) in to a bottle.

[sushijerk]

Really liking Chiyono right now. Neither sushi or yakitori, but a kind of japanese country style cooking. Plus it's quiet and usually filled with actual Japanese people.

I don't even know what authentic mexican tastes like but I'm always having lunch at Big Enchilada near Union Square. Stuff is pretty fresh and prices are decent.

[anonymous]

Oh, if you're ever up in Harlem, Uptown Juice Bar is awesome for ital/vegan stuff. They make (or at least they used to) a mean pumpkin curry.

There also used to be one down on Church, but it closed shortly after 9/11.

superfood is amazing

if you say it's like eating liquid grass, you have obviously never even tasted it

welcome to the 21st century, all is not what it seems

[keagan]

No, it tastes alright, quite good actually.

But it looks like someone ate a bowl of grass and diarrheaedededeeded (verb) in to a bottle.

And that, to me, is "fucking gross shit".

[cd1]

oh, aha, my mistake

yea, first time i tried it i expecting some healthy yet decent at best tasting drink, so the taste was quite a surprise

[mlproject]

i make this smoothie from a recipie hooked up from a vegan friend of mine with berries, spirulina, mango, ginger, arugala and protein and t hat shit is black when you're done making it, but it tastes so good.

To get back to the thesis question of this thread, Mexican is hard man. All my favorite spots fell off, or are just gone. There are a few decent Margaritas out there, you just gotta hunt them down. I like the frozen jams at Sweet and Vicious, they have a machine that really hooks them up and you get the elixer in a nice mason jar, thats big enough even for me.

anyone with some hot mexi ideas? the only real joints i know to go to now are on 6th ave in Bk. hmmm... life.

EDIT: there is a place that is TOO ill on hudson and 10th st. right off the corner, everything there is good, but i forget the name, anyone know what im talkin about? kinda expensive, small blue interior, i have to say, it was really good, and really ill. Great drinks and food, damn, now i want to go there...

TRUTH!

Whenever I'm broke, this place hits the spot. Plus, the most expensive item on the menu is only $3.00!

Cooper 35 Asian Pub on 35 Cooper Square and 3rd ave. $4.00 drinks, free edamame and their Fried Calamari cannot be beat. Decent atmosphere, just has a lot of NYU kids.

Greys Papaya on W. 8th and 6th ave and 72nd and Bway. Cheap good hot dogs.

Congee Village on Allen st. btwn Delancey and Broome. Excellent Chinese food with excellent prices, good service and nice decor.

Oyama on 1st ave btwn 11th and 12th has decent sushi for cheap prices. 50% off all rolls and sashimi every day.

Cheese Steak Factory on E. Houston btwn Orchard and Ludlow has the best cheese steaks in Manhattan.

Kenka on 25 St. Marks btwn 2nd and 3rd, decent Japanese food with $1.50 Sapporo drafts. Also at the end of each meal they give you a little plastic cup filled with sugar so you can make your own cotton candy outside.

Croxley Ales on 2nd and B, monday and wednesdays 10 cent wings, nuff said.

69 Bayard on 69 Bayard btwn Mott st. and Elizabeth St. The spot with the walls plastered with money. Good Chinese food with good prices and friendly wait staff.

Jeremy's Ale House on 228 Front St. by Seaport btwn Peck Slip and Dover. .20 cent wings on Sunday and Monday night football along with 32 oz buckets of draft beer. GOOD FOOD.

Nam Son on Grand st. btwn Bowery and Chrystie st. Extremely good viet food and good service with a very relaxed environment. Love their pho and spring rolls.

Brother Jimmys on 428 Amsterdam Ave. btwn 80th and 81st st. Nice southern vibe, friendly and hot staff(or at least my waitress was, straight Varsity Blues cheerleader status), but anyway, really good food with healthy portions and if you dare, order the "trash can punch". A 2 and a half gallon Jar concoction of whatever liquor you want in it made to serve 4.

Banh Mi 369 Broome st. btwn Elizabeth and Mulberry. Excellent Vietnamese sandwhiches and cheap too.

Joe's Pizza in Park Slope on 483 5th ave. btwn 11th and 12th st. Damn good pizza, spicy chicken is to die for.

Panchitos on 105 Macdougal btwn Bleecker and Minetta lane. Slightly more expensive than the rest. Good atmosphere and sangria with decent Mexican food.

El Sombrero "The Hat" on 108 Stanton and Ludlow st. Non-stop chips and salsa, healthy portions of spanish food and good margaritas.

Ess-a-Bagel on 21st and 1st ave. Fucking huge deeeeelicious bagels and if you put some meat in between they are fantastic sandwhiches.

Clinton Restaurant on 293 E. Houston and Clinton st. Tasty moderately priced spanish food, love thier cuban sanwhiches and platanos.

And this kart stand on Broadway btwn Prince and Spring outside of H&M/David Z. $4.00 for a chicken on rice with hot sauce and white sauce. They give you mad rice and chicken, so worth it.

haha, just went to that one today And Ess-A-Bagel definitely makes my favorite bagles in the city. Used to go there all the time in middle school 'cause it was just 'round the corner.

They always gave way too much cream cheese though lol
