Frankie & Joey's Pizzeria  

Category: Pizza
Neighborhood: Forest Hills

Good pizza, but that's about it. Drop restorante from the name, this is a straight up and typical NY pizzeria.

Don't get my review/rating wrong, the pizza is great, I order and visit regularly, but that's all there is...walk up to the sneeze glass, order your pizza, grab a seat (or don't) and enjoy your slice(s)

I don't particularly care to dine-in (hey plastic forks and knives just don't "do-it" for me) but the fact that it's right next door to the local movie theater, makes it real convenient.

Blue Smoke  

Categories: Southern, Barbeque
Neighborhood: Flatiron

My favorite place in the city for some southern smoked ribs, and my favorite drink (the dark and stormy)...but let's not stop there...

Blue smoke has some of my most favorite snacking foods in the city...just pull a seat up at the bar, grab a round, and order some sides.

Fry Bread...(slap on that chipolte butter) is to die for, Fried Ravioli is amazing. Mac and Cheese, Hush puppies, Peel 'n Eat Shrimp steamed with Blue Smoke Original Ale...and the Devilled Eggs...

ok I think you get the idea....all great!

This restaurant is like many others in the Danny Meyer portfolio, excellent from top to bottom. I have yet to have a bad experience, or poor food there.

Job well done...thank you!

A great restaurant for a Friday lunch with your co-workers, good greasy food that pairs great with a nice cold brew in the warm summer sun (yes they have outside eating (but only for groups of 2-4, and only a few tables), service is "ok"

The service was absolutely horrible....I think my waiter was juggling a whole section rather than a few tables...a good sign of poor floor management.

The food well it was good, but in no way made up for the level of service.

Spanky's BBQ - CLOSED 

Category: Barbeque

Craving BBQ in the Times Square area?  

Well if your party is larger than four...CALL AHEAD...even if the restaurant is DEAD....last week when presented with a party of seven....there was some confusion (and a twenty minute wait) when trying to figure out where to site our party...(even though the restaurant was empty)

Spanky's smokes its meats in house (it's good, but if you want the best head to Blue Smoke)...micro brewed beer is from next door (Heartland Brewery) limited selection of two when we dined last week....(come on guys you're next door to the source...)

You could honestly have an entire meal just from the "sides" menu.

Good eats in my book, but by no means the best, look elsewhere for that, Spanky's is just a good ol' restaurant to head to, with a couple of friends, to have a couple o' beers, while snacking on some good gnosh!

Don't know about the burgers, but they make a mean grilled cheese sandwich....and I love grilled cheese. The fries are soooo addictive!

Most of my co-workers do not care for the place....but I luv 'dem grilled cheeses.

Delivery is on the slow side.

Bice Restaurant

One of the most renowned Northern Italian eateries in the United States. A meal at Bice's will not quickly be forgotten. Great food, nice atmosphere, although if you're outside in the summer the bar next door can get a little noisy, but the food is fantastic. Catch the truffles when they are in season!

Since we're using a five star scale, I'll give it a 5, if it was a ten I would give it a 9.

This has got to be one of my favorite places to eat Italian in the city, and by far my favorite in Midtown.

Great Store....new store here...old store there....great chain from Japan that has been going strong since 1949, the clothes are comfortable, great, and usually in fashion....just imagine the Japanese version of the Gap and you've got UniQlo.

Sizes run small, so definitely try the clothes on, and BTW it's tough to find anything there in a waist size that's larger than a 32

Amazing Little "I"talian Restaurant. Great Menu providing a sampling of the Mediterranean. If you have a chance try the mini calzone, other wise go for the chicken parm....huge serving of cheese smothered chicken on a bed of parmesan mashed potatoes.

Looking for somewhere quiet? Well this place is not quiet...if half the house is full this restaurant is loud,  ....if it's warm eat outside the restaurant...or if it's cold and you can't get a seat outside....get used to the noise, but honestly the food is worth it!
