Hangover Heaven (NYC)

When feening the next morning from a night's worth of drinking, these places will have you back to normal faster than you can spell sober.

Update - 8/1/2011

KTown's constant transformation from a niche Korean hood to a nightlife mainstay for much of Manhattan has resulted in pricier venues and restaurants for the new wave of non-Koreans suddenly parading the streets. Among the transformation wave has…More »

10/14/2007

Hill Country brings a much needed southern food presence to an area that needs it the most, the Flatiron area. In a sea of burgers, delis, Indian and Korean joints, Hill Country easily sticks out for its saloon looking decor and vibrant atmosphere.…More »

New York, NY 10013
(212) 732-2822

Category: Vietnamese

Neighbourhood: Chinatown

2/18/2007

Some folks may be disturbed at the Chinese speaking waiters, but one must remember that they're in Chinatown and that the waiters also speak Vietnamese (very common). With that aside, the service is always quick and prompt but sometimes a tad rushed…More »

5. Wo Hop Restaurant

17 Mott St
New York, NY 10013
(212) 267-2536

Category: Chinese

Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Civic Center

2/22/2007

The historical significance Wo Hop has within Chinatown is legendary yet its food and service do it no justice as I suspect it has gone downhill over the last few years.

Gone are the traditional items on the menu and those seeking authenticity should…More »

6. King of Falafel & Shawarma

30th St & Broadway
Astoria, NY 11106
(718) 838-8029

Categories: Middle Eastern, Food Stands, Halal

Neighbourhood: Astoria

12/13/2011

While the Halal fanboys/fangirls of Manhattan flock to 53rd & 6th aka the Halal Guys (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), there are only two Halal carts in my mind that are worthy of such street cravings: Sammy's (http://www.yelp.com/bi...) and this amazing…More »

Neighbourhoods: East Village, Alphabet City

1/16/2012

Almost 3 years ago during one of Manhattan's miserable rainy days, I found myself sprinting around Alphabet City looking for cover and ducked into Poco. I opted for a glass of wine and sat at the bar to pass the time while the outside monsoon gave…More »

Category: Latin American

Neighbourhood: East Village

12/6/2007

When I knew someone who worked here in the past, they had snuck me samples of various items on the menu that were provided by the generous chefs. They were heavenly and reminded me that I simply don't eat enough of this stuff enough. Though I've…More »

Similarly to fellow vendy award winning Queens Halal cart King of Falafel (http://www.yelp.com/bi...), Sammy's pseudo recent expansion to Manhattan can be attributed to their cult like success in Jackson Heights. This cart is right up there with some…More »

As much as I love New World Mall for its incredible variety of regional Chinese cuisines, I loathe its lack of consistency for food, service, and even price (sometimes just subject to change) (#1). Lanzhou Handmade Noodle has remained surprisingly…More »

Recently updated lists from Jando S.

This is Nawlins (NOLA) (2) New Orleans, a city that never surrounded to tourists, hurricanes, or broken levees, is a great place to visit any time of the year. The following are some of the best places I've enjoyed in my time in NOLA. Welcome to the Big Easy.	Cravin Cajun (Louisiana) (2) Cajun food is done best in Louisiana, bar none. They love their food and I love eating it.
May '12 Challenge: What's in A Name? (21) Who's name is it anyway? A collection of reviews with businesses that bear a name, like Jando's Taqueria El Chingon.	You Had Me At Halal (NYC) (2) Many cities have food carts, but do they have a high concentration of Halal food? Likely not. This Muslim kosher friendly diet can be found for inexpensive prices all over NYC. Classics like chicken and rice, lamb gyro, lamb over rice ... getting hungry yet? Mmm.
Streets Meats & Eats (NYC) (16) Paying in a restaurant is for decor and service, eating in the streets gets you straight to the heart of it all - the food. Cheap, simple, and perfect for nearly all occasions rain or shine. If Bourdain prefers meat on a stick to fine haute cuisine dining, then maybe the rest of the world is onto something.	Delicious Dives (NYC) (23) Super clean places need not apply. Group friendly is a foreign concept. Bugs? Hear no evil, see no evil. The best, cheapest food always feature simple food. These are the places in NYC where good food can be had for very little money, in a setting not all are willing to endure.
West of the Village (NYC) (3) Some folks call it Greenwich and some might call it celebrity central, I call it the West Village.	April Review Challenge 2012: The UnderDog (28) Sometimes you just have to write about the little guy. And by little guy, I mean places that have less than 10 reviews.
The Waiting Game (NYC) (25) Good things come to those who wait. Few like to do it but sometimes that is all that can be done in the quest for good food and happiness. Read a book, practice your conversation skills, or meet new friends while at it. In the meantime, here is a list of potential places worth enduring while earning that virtue we call "patience."	FalaSheng aka Flushing (NYC-Queens) (17) The most comprehensive Chinatown in the five boroughs is where Chinese people eat and is also home to NYC's largest KTown. Some of the best Asian food in America is found in this very hood. See below on where to go.
