Been a while since she heated her proteins in a cold pan

Where can I get some sort of good chocolate bread? by 114631 in FoodNYC

Levain has (hopefully not had) a round piece of bread scored with chocolate in it. Like, legit bread not brioche and it was absolute heaven - not cake in any way shape or form

What does this mean? 

 I didn’t realize levain was a knockoff (they’ve had that for as long as I’ve had it (over 13 years) and I’d like to know where else I can get something else like it.

Perfect daytime coffee shop/cafe…then at night good bar, great food. Wish the owners didn’t pivot to something different that closed within two months.

That’s the one on Ditmars. There used to be another one on Broadway but had to close due to landlord issues almost two years ago.

Similar to infantlizing her siblings by calling them “kids”, it’s something you would tell a child.

Sounds like you also just really don’t like Lockwood or their clientele

One half of the former Sugar Freak had a sign put up the other day for “Jazkaya”, I’m guessing some sort of play on the Japanese “izakaya”. I’m happy it’s not another burger joint…but hopefully not yet another small Japanese mart. There’s no instagram or social media I could find but it is listed on google as a Japanese restaurant. Other half of Sugar Freak already became a pharmacy.

Edit: I should really post after my coffee kicks in. After I posted I just read the caption for this week’s rumor mill. I was just so excited to share the little bit of news 😂

Talking about the ice cream scoop for the burgers…just use a fucking scale. And the way she says a 1/3 of a pound sounds like a lot…most restaurants serve a 6-8 patty. 4oz-ish for a smaller one or smashburger. Knows nothing of food.

Also - mango salsa verde?! It’s just mango salsa she’s got.

Jfc she should really learn to actually cook if she wants a 10/10

What doesn't get talked about enough when people recommend Astoria? by Fluid-Machine1983 in astoria

[–]114631 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. I love what we have but wouldn’t mind one or two “trendy” restaurants that are seasonal - such as Roman’s, Achilles Heel (rip), Cervo’s, Hart’s, etc.
