You missed a treat at Becco by pooh-poohing what appeared to be generic pasta with red sauce. I, too, bypassed all the others, but that one looked worth the two bucks. And it was. Hey, Zach.

I am so up for that! Thanks! PS: thanks for the pics and commentary! I am a NYorker and never knew that every neighborhood has its own "taste"--any in Brooklyn?

Tonic ran out of their pulled pork sandwiches and kobe beef quesadillas, but I got a tasty s'more.

Ribs etc. are not really worth it, and the brisket is too lean to be eaten any other way that with melted cheese and fried onions on top.

Good stuff. Just walk into the bar and the bartender will serve it up for you. Its 8 bucks and change (tho it'll total 10 bucks if you feel inclined to tip), and comes with naan and a little cup of lentil soup. I can vouch for the Utsav “mini buffet” lunch special. Good stuff.

Next year I'm going, despite the tourists and Papa John's crackhead special. Aw, man, that crabcake alone makes the whole thing seem worth it.

I have had their haggis appetizer- which basically seemed like ground beef(?) layered between mashed potatos with lots of gravy- very tasty-just not as gross as I was hoping for, and their ceaser salad with shrimp, which was also very good, with a nice amount of freshly cooked shrimp. Their bread is amazing. I love Utsav, but I thought their lunch buffet was $14.   <em>The Utsav Buffet is over $10, but apparently they have take out lunch specials for $8.  More on this soon... -zach</em> St. Andrews is very good.

I don't think they qualify for midtown lunch - you won't be able to get anything you'd want for $10. Their BBQ sandwiches start at $1075. I really like their BBQ nachos - chips with BBQ meats on them topped with melted cheese...yum. That's only $9.50 (technically it's an appetizer). I also really like the BBQ salad - some lettuce & tomato, maybe some cucumber, topped with chicken, pork, brisket. It's the most humorous salad I've ever encountered. Virgils?
