Went last night. They have opened another dining room that was the old thai grocery store next door. It is bigger and much more upscale looking than the other dining room. I believe the old room will close soon for a renovation and sri as we formerly knew it will be gone.
The food took a little longer than usual, but the dishes were still great.
Abby, saw Eric Eto dining.

Do you know whether they're changing the menu? Modifying the style of the restaurant or cuisine?

The adventure of going to Queens comes through loud and clear. The text reads like three stars are on the way. Lots of nuance, commendable presentation, etc

Life as we know it has come to an end.
As soon as he reviews Kabab Cafe, I'm throwing myself off a bridge.

cynics may wonder about the coincidence of this review with the restaurant's expansion.
I never said that

I'm positive that this man was dropped on his head (many times!) as an infant.
It is better to have beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.

Amen.I'm positive that this man was dropped on his head (many times!) as an infant.
His idiosyncratic syntactical and stylistic tics abound in this piece---much alliteration, pet words: "tender", "flesh", bizarre metaphors and tortured writing in general---see paragraph 3 especially.
His friend should have left him in the long-term parking lot at JFK.

(I also think that at least two Times reporters visited "The View" in recent weeks because its renovation is such great news (fit to print, too))

Why would I read it? I don't think I'll bother.

Worth reading:
"Try, for example, the beef tendon soup, which comes in light or dark broths, the latter signaling the presence of blood. Several friends and I went the dark route and found ourselves engrossed by the hints of cinnamon and the salty bits of crackling that peeked through and crucially leavened the bluntness of everything around it. Try the pickled barbecued pork, which has a bracing tartness that does to your palate what astringent does to your skin."
Oooooooh, flesh, blood and skin care.
PS: Er, dark broth indicates presence of blood?
