Official "good places to eat" thread.

Oh, and there's a place in the Lower East Side that has 10 cent plates of wings with a pitcher a beer during the week. I'd have the name but my ex isn't talking to me so...yeah. Anyone know the name of the place?

I second the Saigon Noodle house. The food is fucking incredible, prepared in less than 15 minutes, and always less that 15 dollars.

This is my favourite place I have ever found to eat. Second only to the Sushi bar I went to in Seattle with Master and Pacrappa. I think it was called Zen.

that reminds me. i went to a small japanese place nestled pretty much in the Microsoft Campus when i was there a couple years ago. real good, home type of feeling but i can't remember the name. i also frequented the Redhook Brewery (great food to go with the great beer) and a semi-fast food chain called Teriyaki. their general Tso's and sticky rice ball was the fucking bomb.

i was also really suprised when i was in Youngstown the other month how they seemed to treat their Buffalo Wild Wings more like a bar than a restaraunt. place was fucking PACKED and rowdy on a Friday night. the one we have here immediately feels more like a restaraunt. too expensive and horrible wings imo.

there's a place in Rochester has an "everything plate" and i can't for the life of me remember the name. pretty damn good drunk food.

Greek Pizza > Italian Pizza.

I like my pizza thick, and piled with all sorts of toppings, golden crisp crust, and square cut thank you. None of the flimsy pie cut stuff, please.

I have a ton of cheap eats recommendation in Chinatown, NYC

Excellent Pork Chop House! I took the Fung Wah into NYC Chinatown a few weeks ago to meet my dad while he was there on business and I had lunch there. I would take the trip just for that, really. I hadn't been there since I was in high school and it didn't disappoint.

Baja, West Haven: Mexican food. Best I've had outside of Mexico itself.

There's a restaurant here in Long Beach called Cinco de Mayo. It's run by El Salvadoreans but better than any Mexican food ever. However, in CT, go to Jalapeno Heaven in Branford. Good stuff.

San Antonio:

Mi Tierra: This place has great atmosphere and is by the Market (El Mercado) area. It's been here since 1941 (my mom, who is Mexican, used to go here when she was a little kid).

The greatest thing: if you're in town, hit up their bakery and sweets and get some gingerbread, some empanadas and some Leches Quemada (a milk fudge caramel), candied pumpkin, and some Banderillo de Coco (coconut bar) to go.

They have a full bar where you can kick back with a Dos Equis and a dozen oysters on the half shell or get totally wasted on margaritas. And they're open 24 hours.

This is the place they keep showing with the mariachis if you've watched any of the Spurs homegames during the NBA Playoffs.

If you're driving east on the I-10 to Palm Springs (or west to San Bernardino/LA), take the Calimesa exit at County Line Road and visit a place called Ocampo's. Best free chips and salsa I've ever had (homemade chips, and a family recipe salsa), and the rest of their menu always hits the spot. Breakfast or lunch - one of the best little-known Mexican restaurants in California.

That Greek pizza looks damn tasty. And LOL at that janitor sign.

Fuck that, "greek" pizza. All greek pizza is, is pizza baked in a pan. But Spumoni Gardens is around 80 years and is an Italian establishment., which is the best goddamn pizza ever. They pretty much created the fresh mozz with sauce on top slice. Doesn't hurt that it's right by the original Nathans too.... AND Roll'n'roaster though I doubt any of you know wtf that is.


Maybe I'll take the trip to Brooklyn tonight.

It's almost impossible to make me go through Brooklyn.
