restaurant recommendations for NYC trip

[Robert La Ferla]

Looking for recommendations for restaurants in NYC for lunch and also
for dinner. Should be relatively inexpensive ($10-$25pp) and family/kid
friendly. Anything near Broadway is a plus.

Would love to hear about lunchtime restaurants with good gourmet
sandwiches (ham, blt, club, panini, grilled chicken, monte cristo,
etc...) and great fresh french fries (maybe a French bistro, Deli or
American).

Not interested in Asian except perhaps a Korean BBQ restaurant for
dinner (someplace great like Woo Lae Oak even if it is pricier).

Also looking for some place that has a nice mid-week brunch and an
American restaurant that serves great buffalo wings and baby back ribs.

I eat at Katz's Deli every day for lunch. Can't get enough of it. It's
on the corner of Houston and Ludlow streets (take the F train to the
2nd Avenue station).

Here is the address:

205 East Houston St.
New York, NY 10002

And there's also a French bistro just a block and a half away. I forget
the name of it, but it's at the corner of Orchard and Stanton. Go down
Ludlow one block from Katz's and make a right for one block. It'll be
across the street. Also there's a French wine/cafe place about halfway
down Ludlow on the way to the other place if you can't hold out to get to
the other place.

Maybe have a snack at Kats'z, catch some music at Mercury Lounge or the
soon-disappearing Luna Lounge, and

Try Petite Arbeille. It's a casual Belgian restaurant with soups,
salads, sandwiches, omlettes, moules et frites and other entrees at
dinner. They're frites are great. Inexpensive - lunch shoiuld run
$10 - 12 depending on how much you order.

There's one in the Meatpacking District on W 14 St between 9th & 10th
Aves; one in Greenwich Village on Hudson St & Barrow, one inh Tribeca
on W. Broadway & Duane St.

Really good taste of Europe in NYC!

More upscale in Meatpacking is Pastis - trendy, French bistro with
great frites too. Just a block away from Petite Arbeille. Also -
Markt, another Belgian restaurant acros 14 St from Petite Arbeille.

You won't go hungry in the meatpacking! Perhaps you can sample the
frites at all 3 places and report back?

Enjoy!!

Cheers,
Ann

While there, be sure to visit Chelsea Market - a gourmet wholesale
market with retail outlets in an architecturally interesting and
unusual passage. It's a Chelsea secret that's not so secret anymore.
You can sample wonderful imported or local choclates, cookies, Italian
food Thai food, great breads - and watch them make it, soups, fish and
more. Have dessert there after your lunch! The kids'll love it.

Caveat Emptor!

The Chelsea Market is WAY overpriced on many items.

Its more of an expensive tourist trap these days.

I have to say I'm not so big on Chelsea Market either, and
goodness knows I really wanted it to excel.

The air in the space isn't especially good, for one thing, and
that can really affect one's taste impressions. My understanding is
that there's nothing at the market that you can't get, or get better,
elsewhere in Manhattan. It just requires a lot more running around
town.

I could be wrong -- some people swear by the market, and I
suspect if you live close enough to discern the best times to shop
there you really can get superior stuff at good prices.

But that hasn't been my experience.

We're off the original topic here, but if someone wants to
start a thread wherein they define the virtues of the Chelsea Market,
I'd like to read it. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places.

Emeril has set up his Food TV studio there for his Emeril Live show, so that
will no doubt give the place a big boost.

I trekked over there a couple of years ago, with high expectations. I left
pretty disappointed. Like Dave said, there's nothing you can get there that
isn't widely available throughout New York City, and at a lower cost. I
guess it's hard to do something like that in Manhattan and hope to stand
out.

Slightly off topic....

In Queens on 75th St/Broadway the Pacific Supermarket has remarkable
fish as great prices! I get a nice "Chilean Sea Bass" steaks for $8.99/lb!

Plus they have a nice selection of Asian cookware.

Its right outside the train station, enter on Broadway.

Chinatown is a great place for fresh fish at low prices.

And I'll take Zabar's or Fairway any day compared to the
Chelsea Market.

[Steve]

I prefer the Korean market on the other side of broadway for fish! I
find Korean people to take particular care of their fish displays, very
much like Japanese people! I find if you don't know your fish and how to
check it one can end up with rotten fish from the Chinese, I've seen
many a fish on display in Chinese markets that were mushy and really
ready for the garbage! If your a white person you can pretty much be
sure they'll try to pass the rotten off to ya'........Justs my 2 cents!
Not that i don't buy certain items in Chinese markets, just not
fish!...........I also like Koreatown plaza in Flushing, the place is
beautifully clean!

Hmmmmm. Perhaps I had a rotten fish passed off to me and
was too dumb to know it? Always have had very fresh fish
from Chinatown. I don't buy whole fish though. I just point
to a piece of fish I want mixed in with all the rest on ice.
That way, you see, they can't separate a rotten piece out just
for me:) Clever, yes?

[Steve]

Dearie, just my personal experience, and most of the markets are not
very clean!......I buy whole fish on the bone and in the past they
quickly give you one with black gills and cloudy eyes! Japanese or
Korean people would never do that, if its bad they throw it and never
leave it on display!! Eat and buy where you want! Plus Japanese and
Korean people don't walk around hocking and spitting all over the sidewalks!

Just to add a little personal note to this discussion, my wife
was born and raised in a seaside city in Japan, and of course Japan's
diet is traditionally fish-based. So I rely on her judgement in these
matters, of course, and she's very rigorously selective.

Now, we live on the border of Chinatown, and we do shop for
fish there. There are better and worse places, and even at the best
places, it's caveat emptor in the extreme.

I'm not sure I'd impute malign motives to it, it's just a
different standard, I suppose (perhaps I'm naive). But in any case,
decent fish CAN be had in Chinatown, but one must be extremely
selective. In addition, while there are dozens of varieties on
display, some are just generally of poor quality, even when they are
fresh and healthy. We went to Mitsuwa Market in New Jersey last
Friday, and hadn't been there in a long time. The difference in the
quality of the same varieties of fish was night and day.

[Steve]

Thank You!........I also on rare occasion I buy fish in Chinatown, when
with my partner who is Filipino, he likes red snapper, but he opens the
gills, smells them, checks the eyes, which the Chinese don't really
appreciate, but if they want us to buy we need to check.........on one
occasion the display of red snappers had fresh ones mixed in with near
rotten ones, gills were dark and black, eyes cloudy, and if you don't
know your fish...........Oh well! Koreatown plaza in Flushing you'll
always get really fresh, properly iced, displayed fish.........end of
topic! and YES! at Mitsuwa market you can always count on extremely
fresh fish!

Speaking of Japanese, have you tried the Okinawa purple sweet potato's
that can be found in Chinatown? WOW! they are like eating cake, so sweet
and satisfying! EXTREMELY healthy from what I've read about them!
Powerful antioxidant, just hard to find sometimes, I guess because they
are a little on the expensive side, $1.80 per pound they don't stock
much, but I've found them on a regular basis in Brooklyn Chinatown on
Avenue U........

Asians perfer a whole fish to a fillet or steak.....unless the
fish
is huge...like a salmon.

That would be salmonchanted evening.

It would seem that you have poached the punchline.

I'm just doing it for the halibut...

At least you are not being crabby.

I credit divine intervention - a real act of Cod.

It does have enough mussels to pull its own weight.

I prefer the Korean market on the other side of broadway for fish! I
find Korean people to take particular care of their fish displays, very
much like Japanese people! I find if you don't know your fish and how to
check it one can end up with rotten fish from the Chinese, I've seen
many a fish on display in Chinese markets that were mushy and really
ready for the garbage! If your a white person you can pretty much be
sure they'll try to pass the rotten off to ya'........Justs my 2 cents!
Not that i don't buy certain items in Chinese markets, just not
fish!...........I also like Koreatown plaza in Flushing, the place is
beautifully clean!

I hear you. LOL!!!!

Caveat Emptor when it comes to seafood.

I had a really great Korean fishmonger by my house, she had the
FRESHEST fish! She was always busy cutting sashimi platters for
her customers, and I soon became one! For fifteen bucks, she
whipped up an amazing amount of sashimi.

Too bad the scumlord who owned her space wanted to TRIPLE
her rent and deove her out.

Anyone else know of a Korean Fishmonger-Sashimi-Slinger in Queens?

Speaking of Sushi, I would never set foot into a Chinese owned Japanese
restaurant, which most of them are nowadays, last time I did that was at
Wasabi in Greenpoint, Brooklyn........sitting at the sushi bar eating
while the sushi "chef" deemed it proper to de-scale and gut a fish
behind the counter! I was so turned off that I swore never to step into
a Chinese run sushi bar again!, plus to boot the other chef took little
digs at his nose with his long pointy pinky nail thinking no one was
looking!.........I'd be dammed if this kind of things would ever take
place in a true Japanese restaurant! I still do dim-sum, but let the
Chinese stick to what they know!

Caveat Emptor!
The Chelsea Market is WAY overpriced on many items.
Its more of an expensive tourist trap these days.

I have to say I'm not so big on Chelsea Market either, and
goodness knows I really wanted it to excel.
The air in the space isn't especially good, for one thing, and
that can really affect one's taste impressions. My understanding is
that there's nothing at the market that you can't get, or get better,
elsewhere in Manhattan.
It just requires a lot more running around town.

Exactly.

If you have the pockets that are deep enough not to care what things cost,
its a good place to shop.

ALSO...there is NO free parking for many blocks around.

Looking for recommendations for restaurants in NYC for lunch and also
for dinner. Should be relatively inexpensive ($10-$25pp) and family/kid
friendly. Anything near Broadway is a plus.
Would love to hear about lunchtime restaurants with good gourmet
sandwiches (ham, blt, club, panini, grilled chicken, monte cristo,
etc...) and great fresh french fries (maybe a French bistro, Deli or
American).

KATZ'S DELI on Houston corner of Ludow, one block east of the
Second Avenue subway station on the "F" line.

The BEST Noo Yawk deli.

4 out of 5 cardiologists agree. It helps balance out their malpractice
insurance premiums.

I never really got Katz, it was OK, but nothing out of the ordinary and
certainly had some less than inspiring products.
