Thanks for the recs guys. I'm kind of bummed I drank more than I ate in NYC...
Fri- We got in town late (11PM), so we went to Mad 4 Chicken - formerly Bon chon, IIRC. Pretty good, a little too sweet, and $45/pitcher of lemon soju? WTF. That was the most expensive meal of fried chicken I've ever had. Between the three of us, we had 1 order of chicken (all wings, I think) and 5 pitchers of soju.
Sat- We got burgers at Jackson Hole. It was aight. We then spent the whole day at the Frying Pan which was amazing, due to the great weather. We were lucky enough to get a table and chairs. The place was a little bro-ish with lots of 1st-3rd year analysts, but the abundance of well-dressed hot girls more than made up for it. Also, $37/pitcher of boxed wine sangria was whack. Furthermore, they only served bottles of Corona? Jesus H Christ. Had the weather not be absolutely perfect, I would've probably hated the place.
For dinner we went to Tony Dinapoli because it was "cheap." Nothing to write home about. The vodka penne was good. The chicken parm, to my surprise, did not come with spaghetti? The mozzarella tomato salad was passable. The balsamic vinegar they used wasn't too cash, but the tomatoes were of good quality. Our sever was really cute and service was great. Oh yeah, the red wine sangria (don't ask me why I drank sangria all day) was ok.
Sun- We went to Nha Trang centre. The pho was pants. The fried spring rolls were ok. I wish I had gone to Doyer's instead, but I just have a feeling that I've been spoiled living in NoVA and now the South Bay.
Lastly, it's been a little over a year since I've been to NYC. What's the deal with the closing down of Times Square to traffic? I thought that was pretty crazy. There were random circles painted onto the streets and shitty green plastic lawn chairs scattered all over the place?
Take what you can get. BTW this thread is pretty good. . . I've been doing my rounds trying to hit some of the ones on the list.
