The Breakfast Sandwich crown belongs to the BEC from the nearest sketchy corner bodega.* Honorable mention to the Pork Roll/Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese if you happen to be in Jersey.

RE: No. 3 - Long December kills me. Every. Single. Time.

Negroni/Boulevardier is a hugely glaring omission. Would have been my number 1 all day and twice on Sunday.

83.5% of the NYC gay community and a solid proportion of the Upper West Side.

This blog used to do a daily John Sterling Win Warble (“Theeeeeeeee . . . Yankees Win!!!!”) rating until they got a Ceas and Desist from the Yankees/MLB for appropriating accounts of the game. It was glorious.

Personally, I’d love to see Alaphilippe pull a 2006 Floyd Lands on Joux-Plane and just go insane, balls-to-the-wall attack from the start. Notwithstanding that Floyd was growing a second head from the amount of T he was doping, that remains my all-time favorite stage for the pure audacity of it all.

For shorter trips out of LGA look at Bolt Parking on 20th Ave. in Astoria. For a regular car, its something like $17/day, plus some taxes and fees, and there are frequently promo codes that knock off a few bucks a day. You reserve in advance, and when you drop off your car they send you a text with a link to e-hail…

+1 Oh My Goodness Gracious

A really good roast chicken can sometimes be transcendent. I went to a Belgian joint after a long day at a rugby tournament (post-shower) and had roast chicken with frites. The skin was salty and crisp, the meat was moist, and the frites were perfectly done. Five years later on I still remember and frequently crave tha…

A friend of mine has one sitting in his driveway, needing a bit of work. Was his father’s, bought new back in the day. My buddy trailered it back from Green Bay to New York after his dad passed.

Concur. I was at Aldo Sohm a few weeks ago in the early evening, and Eric wandered over from next door and was chatting with the people sitting next to us at the bar. He was wearing jeans and a stylishly ratty t-shirt, and pulling it off perfectly.

Was it possibly a wee Donnybrook?

No can do.

Seems to me the most direct approach for the food pop-up events is that taken by comedy clubs and the like: two-drink minimum. As long as that’s stated upfront, people can’t really complain about it. Alternatively, institute a cover charge that can be used as a credit against drinks. 

Go and ask Pirelli.

Yep, the Brooklyn and Rockland outbreaks are mostly confined to the Ultra Orthodox community due to, among other things, misconceptions about the contents of the vaccines and differing interpretations of religious law on the matter. Mainstream Orthodox authorities strongly support vaccination.

I recently had dinner at Tanoshi in NYC (really excellent, by the way, and a downright bargain for the quality of the fish and skill of the chefs). While they don’t have a no photos policy, our neighbors did get a lecture from the chef for taking too long with the pictures and not eating the sushi right away; he…
