Jando "Neruda" S.'s Profile

Mac n Cheese Please (NYC)

The childhood delight of many, this cheesy meal in pasta form can be found in many delicious combinations all over NYC. Carbs and starch fiends apply because tasty versions of this ultimate comfort food can be found here

1. Hill Country Barbecue Market

30 W 26th St
New York, NY 10010
(212) 255-4544

Categories: Barbeque, Southern, Music Venues

Neighbourhood: Flatiron

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 »

Neighbourhood: Chelsea

The establishment may not have much of an interior or have the greatest service but it sure does crank out some of the best southern comfort food I've had in the city. The meatloaf with a bit of honey on it is to die for, the macaroni and cheese is…More »

2/7/2007

Its not easy to find good Cajun / Creole food in NYC, but this is about the closest I've tasted to that down in Louisiana. The service could be better but they've made vast improvements as most of the wait staff is now attentive and friendly, though…More »

While Sammy's Halal is my favorite food cart in Queens, Veronica's Kitchen is my favorite in Manhattan. As one of the finalists for last year's Vendy Awards, Veronica is primed to take the title at some point as she offers food that no other…More »

Cafe 50 West is one of the few delights in the Flatiron neighborhood that still is relatively unknown to the rest of the masses. While part of me wants it to stay that way, I can't help but highlight the good times that make it worth visiting.…More »

Waldy's surprisingly hasn't become a huge chain in Manhattan with their popular lunch and dinner times and unique pizza creations. They have a good list of alternative toppings (arugula, anchovies, spinach, etc.) a handy assortment of toppings, solid…More »

Update - 7/13/2009

After a recent AYCD brunch outing, I soon remembered why I only order delivery from this place. Simply put, the service was lame. The waitresses were attractive, but that is all they had going for them. The attitude, the lack of keen manners, and…More »

I clearly must've come here on an off day because the food I had was pretty subpar. I think I had better at KFC and Popeyes. I desperately wanted to enjoy this place, but for some reason the fast food gods were just not on my side.

I had a helping…More »

I wish the lounge as good as the restaurant, but as a nightlife venue this place is a real disappointment. When they clear away the tables and open up the lower level with couches and such, the comfy lounge is stuffy, especially when its crowded.…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.
Hangover Heaven (NYC) (11) 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.	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."
