Suzanne F Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Why isn't a crab shack on the LES on my radar? Anyone know about The Boil? I think I just read something else about it, but didn't even know it had opened. There's also a somewhat new place on Allen St. called Links that I'm a little bit interested in. Daniel already posted about it here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wonder how the lines will be. Post deleted as I didn't read Wilf and Lex's posts first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wonder how the lines will be. It's in Jackson Heights. The Williamsburg crowd is afraid to travel there lest they be savaged by wolves or attacked by Indians. That article did make me research Bowen's other BBQ place, John Brown's in LIC. Looks pretty good and also unhyped. True, and the white hipster community in JH is still small (and they're too busy going to Nepalese places and taco trucks). John Brown's was decent in its Astoria incarnation. We also have Butcher Bar which I have yet to go to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I think John Brown's is still extant. They took over this place in addition to keeping John Brown's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yes, John Brown's in LIC is still open. It originally started in Astoria, though, and moved to LIC for more space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 We also have Butcher Bar which I have yet to go to. We've been there twice and thought it was better than we expected it to be. Not a destination place but quite good if you're around there and want a well done bbq. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I get the impression from this article that it's going to be a tiny place, like Wechsler's. ETA: I mean Links. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Anyone been to Kura? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

prasantrin Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 In Japan he'll only go to Shake Shack. And Sarabeth's for brunch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MumonA Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 In Japan he'll only go to Shake Shack. And Sarabeth's for brunch. Don't forget Union Square Tokyo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 And the occasional schnitzel, of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 In Japan he'll only go to Shake Shack. And Sarabeth's for brunch. Don't forget Union Square Tokyo. And Grand Central Oyster Bar, Il Mulino, Nobu, Dean & Deluca, Doughnut Plant... no shortage of great imports for those who wish to avoid the questionable local fare. Too bad there's no Carbone yet.
