Re: “Welcome to GoodsBurger, Home of the Goodsburger”
Their food is just plain mediocre. I had the andouille sausage with what they called a baguette which was more like 2 little pieces of charred sausage and a tiny rock hard pretzel. The slaw was just awful.
Re: “Rockabilly Cajun': Honeychiles”
If your jambalaya's rice is white there's something wrong. You're supposed to cook it all together with the rice, not just put the andouille and chicken on top of white rice. Damn yanks...
Re: “Welcome to GoodsBurger, Home of the Goodsburger”
Not serving tap water is kind of despicable for a handful of reasons.
Re: “Welcome to GoodsBurger, Home of the Goodsburger”
We went to this place for hot dogs and they charged us extra when we asked for relish and ketchup, so yeah, fuck them.
Re: “Thistle Hill Tavern: Locals Only Please”
They don't serve beer in styrofoam cups. What's up with that son?
Re: “Thistle Hill Tavern: Locals Only Please”
It was wonderful. Delicious. The waitress wasn't even visibly upset after hearing the end of my horrible rant on dating. I bet she wanted me.
Re: “Thistle Hill Tavern: Locals Only Please”
totally agree .....shhh keep this one quiet for those in the know. But sadly I don't live in the 'nabe and must hike in from a 10128 locale....but well worth it....just don't tell anyone else.
Re: “Thistle Hill Tavern: Locals Only Please”
Actually, I've been importing out-of-towners to check out Thistle Hill. It's *more* than worth the effort.
Re: “Thistle Hill Tavern: Locals Only Please”
I live i on the LES and made it a point to check it out. I was not disappointed. I was quite please with my food, service and the atmosphere. The trip from the city was definitely worth repeating.
Re: “Thistle Hill Tavern: Locals Only Please”
I live in Manhattan and found it very worth the trip. Going again next week too.
Re: “The Commodore: Paradise Found in Williamsburg”
Not to mention the music is awesome. I loved the RED-EYe djs.
Re: “Brooklyn Screams for Artisanal Ice Cream”
ugh, the pretentious text on the side of that truck is more than enough to make me lose my appetite for ice cream, or anything else. and who wants to spend more on an ice-cream cone than on the dinner that preceeded it? (i exaggerate, but not much)
just grab a pint of ronnybrook farm's ice cream- the whole container costs just a hair more than a cone from the van leeuwen shakedown enterprise, and it's a million times better. available at most greenmarkets....and a lot of stores. local! perfect! the mint chocolate lace is earth-shatteringly good.
Re: “Brooklyn Screams for Artisanal Ice Cream”
This ice cream is not that good. It is not, in fact, creamy and delicious-- it is thin and icy-tasting. Don't waste your money here-- if you want artisanal ice cream in Brooklyn, go to Blue Marble. Better yet, do yourself a favor and head to New England, where the ice cream basically anywhere will always be far superior to anything you'll find in NYC, unfortunately.
Re: “Favorite Free Summer Activity?”

Re: “PIY in Brooklyn: Classes for the DIY Foodie”
We met at Trader's yesterday morning...I have 2 paying jobs and day off, you have 1 paying job and no day off, but your articles are well written and this magazine is a good gig, so it will inevitably pay eventually. Best of luck.
Re: “Full Stomachs, Full Wallets in Chinatown”
I just spent 10 boring days on Grand Jury duty in the Court Building on Center Street directly outside Chinatown. The closest, always crowded broom-closet sized dumpling shop, Tasty Dumplings, is right across Columbus Park (the once infamous Paradise Square of the Five-Points slum of the 19th century!)on Mulberry Street, serving a menu of about 50 numbered items, including 5 fried or boiled Shrimp and Chives or Chicken and Chives dumplings for $3. Like you say, how the hell do they does it? And I was damned if I was going to spend 10 days wondering around in Chinatown and not pick up a Chinese girl. But thats another story.
Re: “Tacos Worth Fighting For: La Lucha”
They don´t serve booze or beer because the community board hasn´t approved thier license...not because they don´t/wouldn´t want to...maybe your reviews (people´s) and the community could help support the application!!!
