Food Glorious Food!
Okay folks, I need some help with a resteraunt....

I will be so very happy if I ever find out the name of this place. It was a Italian resteraunt that had a japanese (or maybe chinese flair) -- You walk in the door and there is a bar to the left and the kitchen is open and to the right.
They served this pasta dish that was noodles and then they sloshed it into a HUGE parmesan wedge and scrapped the edges until it made a sauce of sorts and then in one long twist it came out and was presented on your plate. they made this dish at your table. It was so amazingly simple and yet delicious.

I wish I could remember the place. I want to saw it was off of 6th or something. We were heading towards Greenwich Village/Chealsea but I believe it was nearer to The Theater District.

Ohhhhh... and there's this GREAT candy store in the east village called... ****, what's it called?! Something like Discount Candy. They have candy in bulk... 100 blow pops for $10! And they have penny candy!!! And candy I haven't eaten or SEEN since I was like five years old. It's insane!!!!!!

That place souldn't be Econo Candy on Rivington in the lower east side...would it?

Why would anyone in their right mind want to patronize a candy store called "....****". The mere thought of it conjures unsavory images in my head!

As far as sodium, it is in everything even milk.

Occasionally, I like a quarter pounder with cheese & fries. I also like KFC. Years ago I loved the macaroni & cheese & creamed spinach from the Automat. No one made it better. Another NY favorite is a Nathans hot dog & fries. In the past, it was a ndicks hot dog & orange drink.

If I had a time machine, I'd go bank to NYC in the 1940's. Oh my God how great the city was than. No other macaroni & cheese I have ever had had the consistency of H/H M & C . I can just taste the burnt crust on it now. Supposedly a place called Shellys on 57 th St between 6 & 7 ave is alledged to have H/H M & C . The irony is the restaurant is located in a former automat building still standing. I have to try it & will report back.

Dollypop I'd like the recipe. Is Velveeta involved?

"The wife!"

I want my wife to make it because she is a great cook. If I try & make it, the results will not be pretty & probably would not be edible for man or beast. She does things for me & vice versa. In 10 years of knowing each other ( 5 being married) we have never had a major fight. Another reason is she loves to cook & also wants to be able to enjoy it. Hope this explains everything

No one knows about the resteraunt I am talking about?

Other then that-- a good mac and cheese is at the Times Square Grill (the place across from Colony, I believe)
