FAST FOOD BURGER SMACKDOWN!!!

FAST FOOD BURGER SMACKDOWN!!! Burger King Checkers Five Guys Lucky's McDonald's Shake Shack Wendy's White Castle It's safe to say that the most popular food in the country, if not the entire world at this point, is the hamburger. They're easy to make, cheap to buy, taste delicious and can be found everywhere on every menu from a truck stop diner to a...

CARACAS AREPA BAR

$$
CARACAS AREPA BAR 93 East 7th Street New York, NY 10009 (212) 529-2314 One of the great things about New York is the availability of good food from anywhere just a subway ride away. In this case, the good food is an arepa, and the subway ride away is the East Village. An arepa, for those unfamiliar with Venezuelan/Colombian street food, is basically...

COURT STREET GROCERS

$$
COURT STREET GROCERS 485 Court Street Brooklyn, NY 11231 (718) 722-7229 Situated in Carroll Gardens (and Hells Kitchen and Red Hook) is the Court Street Grocer. Part hipster bodega, part sandwich shoppe. I had never heard of the place until Mr. Dogz, the guy without the food blog but with the fortitude to watch Food Network cookoff shows, mentioned it to me. Side...

RUSS & DAUGHTERS CAFE

RUSS & DAUGHTERS 127 Orchard Street New York, NY 10002 (212) 555-1212 For the past 100 years, a deli of sorts has existed on East Houston Street. Should you want smoked salmon or whitefish salad, pickled things or caviar, then Russ & Daughters was the place to schlep to. They weren't and aren't like Katz's or Ben's or the Second Avenue Deli. They...

SAIGON SHACK

$$
SAIGON SHACK 114 MacDougal Street New York, NY 10012 (212) 228-0588 I am a spendthrift. I try to get a bargain on what I buy (thank you Living Social, Retailmenot, and Savored), but at the end of the day, I'm poorer than when I woke up. Mr. Dogz lives on the other end of that spectrum. He's a miser. So I know that...

99 MILES TO PHILLY

$$
99 MILES TO PHILLY 94 Third Avenue New York, NY 10003 (212) 253-2700 If Philadelphia is known the world over for one food, it's the cheesesteak. Beef, bread, peppers, onions, and Cheez Whiz. Cheez Whiz, some say, isn't even cheese. But it doesn't claim to be. It's "cheez" and it's what a proper Philly cheesesteak has, usually glopped on with a big wooden spoon...

MEATBALL OBSESSION

$
MEATBALL OBSESSION 510 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10011 (212) 260-8646 I walked past Meatball Obsession the other day and grabbed a menu. They serve one thing. Meatballs with marinara sauce and bread. Did someone really create an entire restaurant based around the greatest hero sandwich ever created? Well, almost. It's not a restaurant. It's a kiosk on 6th Avenue and...

THE BURGER BISTRO

$$$
THE BURGER BISTRO 1663 First Avenue New York, NY 10028 (646) 368-1134 I had heard about The Burger Bistro via one of those daily food, drink, and things-you-could-totally-do-if-only-you-weren't-single-or-if-you-had-friends-who-enjoyed-doing-stuff email newsletters that every New Yorker between the ages of 25 and 35 gets a dozen of and decided to head out of my lunchtime convenience zone to the upper east side to partake in...

BAOHAUS

$$
BAOHAUS 238 East 14th Street New York, NY 10003 (646) 669-8889 A lot of hype has floated around Baohaus. The times wrote a glowing review, all of the ingredients are allegedly organic or fair-trade or local or have some other such cutesy label, the owner seems to enjoy being belligerent to people... lots of stuff I couldn't care less about. I wanted lunch...
