Is it just me or the batter shreds the insides of your mouth after you eat?

Is there any place that serves soft batter?

Daniel – not sure what that wide radius is but I can think of two places with good fried foods. One is a takeout counter behind the Goldman Sachs building at 85 Broad, I think it’s called Terrace Fish-n-Chips, and they have both fried whiting and flounder, they also have “salads” to make you feel healthy (I think it’s just shredded lettuce and tomato slices though) and possibly rice as an alternative to fries. They have scallops, whiting or flounder (flounder is more exp by 50c?), possibly salmon, shrimp, crab, hmm, what else, it’s been a long time since I went there because I don’t feel so hot when I eat that much deep fried foods. It’s priced similarly to the above place though and is quite tasty.
Or if you want a slightly … well, it has seating and beer (maybe hard alcohol?), Jeremy’s Ale House by Seaport is a good bet as well (I’ll be posting on that sometime eventually).

I know this place as well. I go every so often when I’m on Canal and I don’t feel like walking to Grand St. Pretty good prices I must say.

I might be a bit biased but everyone should forget this place and try out the place next door called 35. Thai cuisine. It doesn’t exactly qualify for Midtown lunch though! ha

I know this place! This is right by the old AT&T building near Canal. I walked in once and looked at the menu of fried things and fried things and even more fried things and realized I probably couldn’t handle a 3 pm fried-food induced coma that day. Maybe I’ll try it soon enough.

On the topic of seafood, I ate the mexican woman’s granny-cart fish soup today. It was a little on the cool side, but after I warmed it up it went down easy.

Bossman, during these uncertain economic days the Tuesday Freak is the one constant MT lunchers can draw upon to re-asure themselves they’re actually doing ok.

“Midtown Lunch seems to have some kind of wonderful, magical hypnotic power that makes women drop their standards to the gutter and below”

Dude, did you think I was here for the vegan chatter and DocChuck abuse?
