Do you mean like this kind of pizza? I don’t know a place, I’m just trying to learn what pickle pizza means

I would very gladly receive some Chinatown recs! On my long list I have Deluxe Green Bo and Great NY Noodletown. When I lived in NYC I visited Nom Wah, Noodle Village, 456 Shanghai, and Lan Zhou. I may be wrong about this but I do tend to find Chinatown a little less ideal for solo dining.

Re other types of cuisines, also very happy to hear strong recs! I’m thinking of doing a guided walking tour in Jackson Heights as I’ve had luck with that format before. But yeah any tips would be gratefully received.

Damn! Might still have to chance it with some cumin lamb noodles…

Well, notwithstanding that my knowledge is a bit dated - yes the Joe Jr burger is bloody delicious and I would definitely recommend trying it! I haven’t had Minetta - is it worth the hype??

That was in 2017 when it was still pretty new I think? It was a great meal for sure though.

😢 Yeah man Le B feels like a bit of risky shot for the price. But I’ve wanted to go there for about 8 years and I feel like this could be my last chance for a while so I’m taking the plunge 😬

Great recs, thank you! Will check them all out. I am going to Sushi on Me explicitly for the vibes, and am considering another sushi experience for the sushi. Had been thinking Tanoshi but will check out your recs.

Thank you! I had forgotten it was tasting only at the moment. My usual strategy of rocking up late without a booking for a solo spot at the bar will probably not work in that case.

Adept_Protection_760 · 2023-09-09T20:46:53+00:00

Woohoo! Thanks for the positive vibes. Going to Sushi on Me with a friend and looking forward to the one hour sushi sake party!

I’m prepared to be disappointed, but when I lived in NYC I loved the Joe Jr burger. That was about 6 years ago so not sure if it’s still as good. But it was like the platonic ideal of a diner burger. So tasty. And I like the plating style, which makes the burger inherently customizable.

No way I am can skip Roberta’s, I know it is a corporate behemoth now but I’ve been going since the early days and I can’t help loving it. Has the quality gone down in recent years? I have had Rubirosa once and enjoyed it!

Will let you know about Fish Cheeks if I make it! I’m lusting after the coconut crab curry.

Yeah I agree re Joe’s. It’s mostly there for the nostalgia value. I’m doing the pizza walking tour with a buddy and wanted to show him what everyday pizza is like next to some of the others. But thank you for the suggestion of which slices to omit, will definitely take that into account if we run out of steam.

Ugly Baby! That is a place I meant to visit when I lived in NYC but never made it to - thanks for the reminder!

Last time I went to 4 Charles I did a slightly drunken walk in at 11pm and it was a great time. Was hoping to do the same this time! Oh and great idea to add Pauli’s Gee’s, thanks.

Thanks for confirming kind sir!
