Ericandblueboy Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Looking for good lunch dishes rather than trite breakfast dishes. Doesn't matter the cuisine, as long as it's not spicy. Anything within a mile of the MoMA would work - cost not an issue. This is for Labor Day weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericandblueboy Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 I should've stated we always go into the city on Sundays because we can always find free street parking. The Modern is unfortunate closed on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call me a philostine but l used to prefer the fish spread from a deli in a West Orange, NJ, Tabatchnick’s But for an old world experience why not and Tabatchnick’s closed long long ago 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericandblueboy Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Sabbia is decent. I think I wrote elsewhere that I've never had completely satisfactory meal at a Batali joint. The menus are usually interesting enough to attract me but the execution isn't at a high level. To be fair, Batali isn't out to charge the highest prices so maybe my expectation is too high.

I may have had a smoked fish platter in this area 3 or 4 times in the past 10- 20 years, primarily for breaking fast. When I grew up it was a staple in my household and environment. For a decade after that it was a treat several times a year. This area didn't and doesn't seem to do it justice. I used to have it at Parkway deli. Parkway was decidedly so so. Balducci's has been a source for a smoked fish feast at home--I'd get bagels at Bethesda Bagel. I'm not sure of other providers. Even most deli's in Northern NJ don't carry it for dining in. I guess people should go to Barney Greengrass. Its a lost experience. Consumer Warning: A large spread is not and has never been inexpensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about my Dad's income but we used to have significant fish spreads growing up. (for all I know he probably plowed all his money into fish) Once I started paying for it myself I always thought it expensive, no matter how much money I had. lox and eggs and onions or smoked sturgeon eggs and onions, or other variations cut the fish costs in half. Ha ha. I learned that "strategy" and it was still good. But the damn smoke fish mavens wouldn't stand for it. Ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
