Darn I ended up eating at Cosi tonight--I gave in to my lack of cosi-ification. I wasn't impressed. Small portions/overprices/not too tasty.

I ate at Edison twice this week.
Get the Lox eggs and onions.
Almost as good as Barney Greengrass (not really) but very good.

Honey-
I was in the theater district and wanted sushi but my hangout was packed.
I eat every meal out. Life is good.

I'm jealous! How is Blue Chili? Ever eaten there? And how is Go Sushi?

This isn't exactly cheap eats, but how do people find Gramercy Tavern? I've been there twice - once in 2001, once a few months ago, and I found that the quality of food has went waaaay down, esp for the price. It could be because I opted for the tavern instead of the main dining hall (which I wasn't aware had a prix fixe menu - DAMN!).

On the bright side, I saw Mary-Louise Parker that day, gazed for a minute trying to figure out where I recognized that face from, caught her eye and smiled. She probably thought I was a creepy fan.

Anyone else found this? (Not about M-LP, I mean about the quality of Gramercy's food.)

I love that place but have not been there in a long time.
It is great if you have an important client. I really do prefer
Steve Hanson restaurants for the price.
I also love NOBU.
Gosh I am hungry I might give in. Fasting is very difficult.
I already cheated with water and toothpaste. Updated On: 9/25/04 at 03:42 PM

I think water is acceptable, but toothpaste isn't, but i did it anyway.

The Edison Cafe is adjecent to the lobby of the Edison Hotel - 47th St. between Broadway and 8th Ave.

It's is nicknamed "The Polish Tea Room" and was the setting for the Neil Simon (flop)play FORTY FIVE SECONDS FROM BROADWAY. It is a popular hangout for old Jewish actors and comedians like Jackie Mason. The matzo ball soup is legendary, and they make a damn good (and cheap) hamburger.

There are two great bakeries right across from each other on 18th between 5th and 6th. One is called City Bakery and the other is Chef & Co.

Is there supposed to be a fantastic cupcake bakery in or around Greenwich Village or am I just imagining things?

Hmmm i ate at a good diner-type place a week or so ago, can't remember the name though. Shucks.

If you're looking for a good greasy-spoon type of place, try Big Nick's on Broadway around the 70s.

Big Nicks is actually called Pizza Joint.
70th between columbus and cpw. Closest to Columbus.

Joe Allan's always gets a visit from me when I am in the city.
Galaxy is also excellent and cheap.
If you are in the village there is a place called DOJO on both ends. They do a mix of food but mostly Japanese. Excellent prices, I know one is on St. Marks, not sure where the other is.

Try the cabbage soup at the Edison Cafe, often served on saturdays (not sure about the rest of the week.) Truly wonderful!
