Looking for a place to get walnut cookies (oreshki)

I've been trying for over an hour to find a place that delivers bahn mi and pho! I usually like Hello Saigon, or any of the places down on Mott street, but it seems damn near impossible to find a good reputable pho place for ether delivery or pickup, in lower manhattan. Any reccomendations?

Hey team - For those who’ve attempted a walk-in at Four Horsemen in Brooklyn, how early do you recommend arriving for a walk-in? They open for dinner at 5:30 - does 5 make sense? Earlier? Later? Thanks in advance!

Hoping there is at least one person to give me an answer :)

I just learned about this dish from my friends. I always saw pictures of it but never knew it was known to be so heavenly delicious. I’m so intrigued!

I, also will admit, judged it like a bad book cover. I always thought it would be flavorless but it seems to be gas.

In reviewing another restaurant on Google Maps, I stumbled upon a high-rated Thai restaurant... then another and another, all in the same area. My husband and I are huge fans of Thai food, and we're always looking for new spots to hit.

What do you all think of the following places, and/or if you could only choose one out of the three (we are likely moving out of the area next year and only have so much time!), which would it be?

• Valla Table
• LumLum
• Chalong NYC

TIA!

Has anyone been to the new Serendipity location? Is it just as good as the original location or would it be better to go to the original?

this is suchhhh a long shot but two customers of mine were telling me today about a vegetarian spot they go to (starts with a P) that is located next to the new salt and straw locations in nyc? anybody have any leads on this?? I wanna say it was something like ~pugu ~ or like puccu or something UGHHHH all I know is they said they do a great mushroom dish - maybe you miracle workers can help me

A buddy of mine is coming to visit me around 10:30 today. I wanna take him to get some affordable late night food. I have heard that Jackson Hts and Astoria have a lot of late night spots open, but the choices are endless. Can anybody recommend me somewhere thats affordable and open till 1-2am?

He’s a big fan of mexican/latin, halal, and chinese food.

Staying LES for a several days. What places to eat that are low key, cozy, good tasting and classic? We are middle aged Californians, not really foodies, but I am looking for vibe and NYC experience. Nothing in high demand that absolutely needs a res. Some things on our itinerary so far: seeing a show on Saturday (oh Mary), the cloisters, the Met, Central Park, exploring a few neighborhoods, etc.

Any good seafood broth ramen in NYC? Only one I know of is the smoked dashi from Torishin.

This week's Saboscrivner review is for a fantastic restaurant outside of my usual Central Florida radius: the legendary Sarge's Delicatessen and Diner in New York City's Murray Hill neighborhood. I recently took my wife to NYC for our 15th anniversary, and even though we had a fancy anniversary dinner somewhere else, this much more casual dinner at Sarge's was my favorite meal we shared on this trip, after a day apart doing our own things in the city.

I compare Sarge's to the even more famous and historic Katz's Delicatessen a lot in this review, because when people think of NY Jewish delis and pastrami sandwiches in particular, they think of Katz's. We've been to Katz's before, on previous trips, and while the pastrami is second to none, I've never found the experience to be a pleasant or fun one. Sarge's was so much more laid-back, with no lines, no waiting, comfy booths, and a patient and friendly server. It also has a much larger menu, with so many options beyond overstuffed deli sandwiches. Of course, the overstuffed deli sandwiches there are AWESOME.

Before you ask, YES, they have onion rings, and YES, of course I tried them! What did I think? Click below to read my full, detailed review on The Saboscrivner food blog to find out! And if you've also experienced the pure joy of dining at Sarge's Delicatessen and Diner before, what is your go-to order, and would you change it to something else on your next visit?

*Thank you for being one of our early and loyal members. Your support and feedback have helped shape the platform into what it is today.

In just two years, we’ve hit significant milestones on our mission to revolutionize the hospitality industry. Nearly 200,000 people have now taken Dorsia for a spin and as a result, we’re already seeing a positive impact on the perilous state of restaurant economics.

We’ve expanded our reach to in-demand destinations around the world, from Ibiza and Saint-Tropez to cultural capitals like London and Dubai. Coming soon: ski havens Aspen and Courchevel, glamorous winter escape St. Barths, and Mexico City—just in time for Zona Maco.

We’ve also enhanced our pricing model, with many minimum spends now starting at $50, and unveiled a redesigned in-app homepage that makes it easier than ever to discover what Dorsia has to offer, including our soon-to-drop VIP Art Basel experience and an invite-only party during the fair worth booking a flight to Miami for. In the coming weeks, we’ll start rolling out new in-app content features and culture calendar highlights to help guide your social agenda.

In the coming weeks, we’re launching an evolved membership experience, which I feel strongly redefines the concept. We’re not blind to membership fatigue. Slapping a fee on top of regular venues is an irritating trend but we’re not here to charge for air.

Just like we revolutionized the restaurant economy with instant access to impossible tables and our get-up-and-go Dorsia Pay technology, we’re laying the groundwork to bring the same innovation to experiences and nightlife. To prepare for this next phase, we’re introducing a minimal subscription fee to access the app.

As a loyal member, we’re inviting you to take advantage of an exclusive Friends & Family nominal rate of $100 annually—a lifetime rate only available for a limited number of users. Additionally, to bring your circle along, we’ve added five extra nominations to your account, so your friends can join before our full paywall goes live.

Thank you again for your commitment to Dorsia. I can’t wait to show you what’s next.*

Hello! Some friends and I are looking for recs for a thanksgiving day feast. We do not want traditional thanksgiving food - in our dreams we’d do dim sum, Chinese food, or something along those lines. Manhattan, Queens or Brooklyn would all be workable. We’d love a nice comfortable vibe. Any recommendations for something that would be open that day? Thank you!!

My friends and I will be making our first visit to NYC next week, and I am looking for a restaurant in the Upper Eastside with really good food and a laid-back vibe/good ambiance. I am also trying to stay away from Instagram-hyped places. Any recommendations from the locals would be greatly appreciated.

Visited New York multiple times. I've loved the food every time I've visited. Unfortunately, I'm only passing through for one meal this weekend, and another meal next weekend on my way out of town. There are too many choices to pick only TWO meals to enjoy in and around NYC.

One of my first trips, had some amazing Korean BBQ. Of course I've done the typical NYC standards of pizza and dogs, but I want something that will blow my mind. I'm a world traveler, and I've found all of my favorite world cuisines being offered somewhere in New York: Japanese BBQ, authentic Greek gyros, Cacio e Pepe, Brazilian steak, etc etc etc.

I'm literally unable to decide. Too many choices to pick from. If you had one or two meals to eat in NYC, what would you pick?

I went Emily near Houston Street for the first time to try their Emmy Burger and was unimpressed. I was inspired to go from an Instagram post that noted this place as a top 5 burger in that part of town. The burger wasn’t seasoned the way I’d like and it was sloppy because of the sauce. Has anyone else gone? What are your thoughts?

I'm hosting Thanksgiving for the first time and I'm excited to cook. Should I just pop into my local supermarket and grab a Butterball? Is there another good option I should look into? (I assume it's too late for fresh.)

Celebrating a birthday but don't want to break the bank. Something nice nothing to loud since we have elderly parents coming. Ty

Particularly their Governor’s Island stand. Even though it was a lukewarm cup of overpriced drip coffee it was really flavorful and floral tasting. I’m assuming it’s Ethiopian coffee.

Anyone know or see who they buy their coffee from?

Coming back from vacation tomorrow and I’m craving a really good brownie. Who’s got the best plain old chocolate brownies? I’ll take suggestions for fancy one too but I’m craving a regular brownie. They need to be open on Sunday. All answers appreciated.

Sweet Rehab seems extremely expensive so wanted to get the subs thoughts on whether it’s worth it. Otherwise any recommendations for dessert/ bakery around the Soho area? Can be extremely casual as long as it tastes great

I used to love going to Mandoo Bar (2 West 32nd) before it closed in 2020. It was small and informal and great for lunch. From the sidewalk I'd be mesmerized watching them make dumplings in the front of the store . I went for the pan fried dumplings and the Bibimbap prepared at the table.

I'm craving a similar experience nearby.

Any recommendations?

Hi! Looking for a restaurant with a karaoke in private room (or not) in or near time square!!

It can be a full meal or juste appetizer We are 7 !

Thx

Looking for a place my brother and I can go for Thanksgiving dinner. Ideally in Manhattan. Doesn’t have to be Thanksgiving food per se but more so a good vibe to break bread. If it is a Thanksgiving meal, looking for something on the lower end of the fixed menu price spectrum but any leads are helpful.

Help a fish fan out

Hi there!

My boyfriend (32M) and I (soon to be 31F) booked some last-minute flights to NY for my birthday and are trying to figure out a rough itinerary. I've been to NY once before for a bachelorette and it's my boyfriend's first time so we are a little lost :').

We want to pick a hotel that is pretty central to some popular neighborhoods and very comfortable taking the subway. For food, we are definitely going to check out some handroll bars, but requesting suggestions for local favorites!

TL;DR We would love recommendations for stay, activities, and especially food for some out-of-towners from Chicago that need a semi-laid back itinerary.

Thank you so muchhhhhh
