The Westway Diner
Category:
Diners
Neighborhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, Theater District
Sigh... the Westway.
I have been to this establishment three times. The service was okay the first two times. The last time... the waiter was so rude that I'm not sure if I will go back. (They're just lucky I averaged all of my experiences together and that there is not 2.33333 stars)
I ordered a simple salad with salmon. The menu indicated that it came with either salmon or tuna. When my bill came I had been charged extra for the salmon. When I pointed this out he pointed to the bottom of the salad section where an "add on extras" area denotes the prices of certain items. I in turn pointed to the ingredients in the salad, salmon clearly among them. He got upset and stormed off. The manager fixed it but was not at all nice about it.
I could go on about how the supposed "nicoise" salad had no potatoes (I know, not always but I like them), no green beans, one grey hard boiled egg, mushrooms?, and one olive! I could go on about other things...

Meh. The wings weren't crispy and neither were the onion rings. They also forgot my blue cheese and veggies. Lame-o.

I just stopped in one day for a quick sandwich. Chicken with a pesto mayo. It was good but I would have liked the chicken to be warm and the salad portion to be larger. Those who ordered fries were given a healthy portion. I would stop back to further explore the menu.

Whenever I have business on this side of town I find an excuse to eat here. Especially when they have oysters from my home town, Onset, Ma! It's like being back on the beach without having to pay for gas!

Whenever I go here I sit in front of the kitchen. I love watching the action. If you go there for brunch on Sunday try the fried egg over polenta. Or french toast! The last time I had dinner her it was amazing. Oysters, Foie gras, etc. I never leave feeling unsatisfied.
Always fast, always fresh, always with a little kick. Tortas or tacos you can't go wrong.

The pizza was soooo fresh and delicious. The crust was so thin and crispy. I have a list of pies I want to go back and try. The salad portions were large too!
I love this place and I always will! Five stars because the owner is the nicest person and is always happy to see her customers. She knows your order before you even tell her your name (yay caller ID). Everything is homemade, nothing frozen up in here, I don't know what that other guy is talking about. In high school I survived on their hot & sour soup. I have never found one I like as much. Ooooh, the Crab Rangoon are the best I have every had! I live in NYC now and I still can't find a version I like as much... and believe me, I search! They use huge chunks of meat and fresh scallions. They also fold them into triangles so all the good stuff stays in. I always ask for some dumpling sauce to go with them. Even the duck sauce is homemade!! It is the best duck sauce ever! I want to go visit my parents just so I can buy some! You know how a lot of places give you that pinkish orangish packages stuff? Not this place! Even the spicy mustard is homemade!

Brick Lane Curry House
Category:

Neighborhood: East Village
Ahh Curry Row!
The Pakoras were good to start out but the star of the show was the curry.
I ordered the Shammie Kebabs (lamb) and Sean got the Vindaloo with goat. The Kebabs were good but a little dry. I prefer my lamb cooked med-rare. The Vindaloo was really good and we finished every last drop. I must say, it was spicier on the way out than on the way in if you catch my drift. Sean also ordered a dessert that consisted of ride and coconut milk, though for the life of me I can't remember the name of it.
On my next visit I am determined to make the BF try the Phaal curry. It contains ghost chilies. Mwah hah hah!

What keeps me coming back is the beer can museum. It's like being in the bedroom of a perpetually teen-aged OCD alcoholic. If only every collector on Hoarders was as meticulous as this curator.
