I fell for this 2 years ago. It renews automatically at $165. Mark your calendar to cancel it before it renews if that bothers you.

Yonah Shimmel Knish Bakery
Mark Slater replied to pras's topic in New York City Restaurants and Dining
One of my very first restaurant jobs as a teenager was flipping knishes and egg-rolls at a small stand in Mid-Island Plaza in Hicksville, New York. -
I had the same thoughts about the McDonald's in Paris. It was wildly superior to the US experience.

What still annoys me is links to news articles that are behind paywalls. Twitter, Facebook, everywhere.

I subscribed 2 years ago for $30 for a year of unlimited digital. I was very surprised the next year when it auto renewed for $167.

Its like every mussel these days is a PEI.

I'm glad you started it too. It reminded me of the old Internet. Remember that?

I'm starting to think that Amish is just another weasel word like "natural" or "organic", other than signifying a chicken raised in Pennsylvania.

This might clear it up.

It reminds me of a Disney Land version of Alsace.

I think I saw them at Trader Joe's.

I have had many charming and excellent meals at New Heights. I've also seen them fall victim to the insane hotel invasion that was talked about in the Woodley Park thread.

A tip I got from the NYT recipe section: Put a slice of stale bread or two under the chicken . Between the drippings and the baste you get a nice, soggy, very flavorful crouton to have on the side.

Vace is unique in it's "ambience". I'll say no more.

Better have a good POS system. 100 separate checks a night could torpedo your service. -

Dining in Woodley Park
Mark Slater replied to RBeats's topic in Washington DC Restaurants and Dining
Years ago, I worked in a restaurant at the former Sheraton Washington, now the Wardman Park. The restaurants in the hotel would go from empty at 6PM to completely full with lines at the door by 7PM. Daily. This is what the surrounding restaurants have to deal with, as well. In convention hotels, people drift around in very large groups and it is not unusual for "table for 20" to show up unannounced at the height of the dinner rush. It is both a blessing and a curse in that neighborhood. -

When I worked in the neighborhood, I became addicted to the Queen B's. So much so, that they used to save one for me under the counter. Great pastries and great staff.

It has always puzzled me why the Post would review a place with 8 seats that 2-3 million people will read about. It reminds me of the Wine Spectator reviewing and recommending Marcassin 3 Sisters Chardonnay to it's readers when there are 75 cases available to the world.

New Big Wong has a special white fried rice with dried scallops and peas that is out of this world. We went once and got to "fishing" in the tanks with the waitress and had some incredible food. Lobster, crab, they had LIVE SHRIMP in one of the tanks that was simply steamed, it was outstanding.
