BEST OF 9th

Azuri Cafe – amazing chicken, soup and falafel

Wondee Siam – Best Thai Ive had outside thailand (ask for it thai style)…and delivery will take about 15 minutes

Island Burger- Obviousley good, just be hungry and have nothing to do for the afternoon

Burittoville – burrito options are pretty lame here, but they have the best Ive had in the midtown west/east area

Yakitorro Totto – amazing, get the chicken meatball

Let’s not overlook some of my favorites on 9th Avenue:
Pam’s Real Thai Food, Leon’s Bakery (Mexican bakery on 9th that serves really good chicken mole enchiladas, 3 for $2.50 every weekend morning till about 12 noon), Manganaro Hero Boy (I like their eggplant and chicken parm sanwiches), and the 99 cent pizza place on 41st street. I don’t know if this counts, but I would like to include the International Grocery (Great yogurt, tormasalata, tsaziki, feta, salami, baklava, spinach pie, olives…)

Nosher, you can find good fish tacos at Pampano Taqueria on 3rd between 49th and 50th (it’s in the basement food court of some building). It’s not California or Texas, but they have fresh fish, homemade corn tortillas, (or, if you prefer, flour tortillas), spicy salsas and they’re sold for a decent price.

Ruben’s is still in SoHo. Also in the east village. You can get them in a cafe in Brooklyn too. They have several locations, but Empanada Mama is way better in my opinion.

I thought the empanadas at that cart on 53rd were hopeless. Not horrible tasting, but lukewarm and, on one occasion, studded with metal filings.

If there are other empanada options I’d like to hear about it, but in the meantime will daydream about Reuben’s Empanadas in Soho. (Is it still there?)
