The Monk's Kettle  

Categories: Bars, Gastropubs
Neighborhood: Mission

4 star rating

If you're coming here for the giant pretzel from that stupid 7x7 list, you'll probably be disappointed because you just spent 30 minutes to get to the Mission (no one in the Mission reads 7x7) for a pretzel. I mean, it's a good pretzel, but a good pretzel is pretty much like a bad pretzel. It's just a pretzel.

But this place rocks for their beer selection and pairings. The first time I came here I had the lamb burger, which was pretty decent, and the aforementioned pretzel. Having dinner here gives a good opportunity to try different types of beer. Pretty much the only purpose of dinner here is to drink beer.

I came again last night and had the Aphrodite, a stout with cocoa and vanilla bean. It was AMAZING! The funny thing is, my friend tried it and  wanted to get the same, but I got the last bottle. He got another choice, but it couldn't compare to the sweet sweet Aphrodite. If you come to Monk's Kettle, get it instead of the pretzel.

I've always had a good time at Kilowatt. You can't really argue with cheap, good beer on tap with friendly and attentive bartenders. The crowd isn't really my scene, but it's still a good place to hang out for a night.

My friend and I had 6 Franziskaners (my favorite!) for $30. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours. The only annoying thing while sitting at the bar is that everyone seemed to bump into me. Only into me. There was plenty of room to walk by behind me too! I almost had to start throwing elbows.

The place seems divey but the crowd makes it seem a little more upscale. But you're coming here for the beer and they do deliver beyond expectations. Get the Chelsea Blueberry Wheat or the 21st Amendment Watermelon beer, grab a seat, and sit back and watch the abundance of people making out after midnight.

I like any place that serves melted cheese with their fries.

The burger was good, but doesn't compare to In-N-Out or Fatburger. There, I said it, New York. You guys have great pizza, California wins in burgers.

Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries  

Categories: Burgers, Fast Food
Neighborhood: West Village

3 star rating
 10/4/2009  
I really like 5 Guys and would say for NY burger options, it's a 4 or 5 star place. But there are 3 reasons I'm giving it 3 stars:

-After seeing Obama go here in that NBC special, I was expecting not only a good meal, but an Obama-good meal. Like way beyond extra good. The halo effect has to be great for sales, but I didn't think the taste was godly enough as you'd expect from an Obama tip.

-I'm a Californian and must say that In-N-Out and Fatburger have this place beat. If 5 Guys is the best NY has to offer, I'd have to give pause before switching coasts.

-The fries are not good enough to be served with these good burgers. And after having to see how many calories are in each, you'd be better off just sticking with a burger.

Joe's Pizza

Perfect drunk food that's also delicious when sober. The pepperoni is solid, but the mozzarella is amazing. The crust at Joe's is nice and crunchy, and doesn't fall apart whilst eating.

Bleecker Street Pizza

Neighborhood: West Village

Best pizza ever! The nonna maria is great, but don't miss out on their pepperoni. Just get both!

The toppings and ingredients really set these slices apart. I'd say Joe's has a better crust, but the toppings give Bleecker Street the edge.

I came here 2 or 3 times during my last trip to NY. Even though the interior is small, it was never really too difficult to get a table.

Third Floor Cafe

I came here twice during my last trip to New York and hung out for a couple of hours catching up with friends. It gets 4 stars because of the 90 to 10 ratio of girls to guys. The view from the third floor of any building in New York sucks, but the view at Third Floor is still great (And the applause sign goes off for that lame joke! Just mark the funny button already!)

Their soju cocktails are good but I liked their gin cocktails enough to order 5 of them.

Mad For Chicken

A-freakin-MAZING!

I love the club feel, the danky stairs that lead up to the entrance, the rave-y beer container, and of course the chicken!

I showed up wanting to eat at Bon Chon and was a little confused by the Mad For Chicken sign. I felt a little dumb asking the hostess "Um, is this Bon Chon?" but I was really in the right place.

Show up with a group of friends, get the soy garlic chicken (both the wings and drumsticks are good, but I prefer wings), and drink a couple of liters of beer for a great night out.

The salmon burger and sweet potato fries are delicious! The toppings on the burger added some crunch, sweetness, and spiciness, and I must say it was the best salmon burger I've ever had. The only thing I didn't really like was the abundance of sesame seeds on the bun - I'm pretty sure I walked out with a few stuck to my face.
