Next time Shopsin's is definitely happening. Those doughnuts, I still think of them.<br /><br /><b>Shirley</b> - Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill are borderline too far for me. Gotta think of convenience of commute.

The one thing lacking though is some good dim sum, though there is a Joe's Shanghai and John's Shanghai in midtown.Linghttp://www.linglieats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776104395943412579.post-66632791475110782032011-04-16T17:29:21.428-04:002011-04-16T17:29:21.428-04:00BTW, I've been told that I make a rather neat ...BTW, I've been told that I make a rather neat apple pie (complete with an all butter crust! Caramel optional) so if you're ever interested and around philly or Brooklyn, let me know! I'm always looking to get opinions on improvements in case I open up my wee lil' pie shop one day. Twentyfour backbirds totally stole my idea (I came up with it since I was in college!)Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776104395943412579.post-69184706423735247172011-04-16T17:22:15.019-04:002011-04-16T17:22:15.019-04:00NIC, before you make the jump to williamsburg (get...NIC, before you make the jump to williamsburg (getting quite pricey as well), check out Carroll Gardens/ Cobble Hill! Or Park slope (good cupcakes, fish n' chips, a whole lot of other things). I think these days Manhattan could get a lil boring after a while, and the price tag of the apartments overwhelm the budget you have for food, so the other side of the bridge ain't lookin' so Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776104395943412579.post-78557652396353282222011-04-14T20:42:47.482-04:002011-04-14T20:42:47.482-04:00Nick, I would look at places below Metropolitan an...Nick, I would look at places below Metropolitan and between Havemeyer and Berry. I think the locale starting near Best Pizza and stretching to the Graham stop is also pretty sweet.<br /><br />And it also bears mentioning that if you live near Pies n Thighs, then you're close enough to the Marcy JMZ stop to make Shopsin's one subway stop away! We gotta hit that when you're back in town.Jameshttp://theeatenpath.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776104395943412579.post-30059667183122048582011-04-14T19:18:09.835-04:002011-04-14T19:18:09.835-04:00Rodzilla - good, I told my parents that and they l...<b>Rodzilla</b> - good, I told my parents that and they laughed at me.

Marlow and Sons/Daughters, Diner, Saltie, Fette Sau, Best Pizza... and I'm guessing only more places will pop up as time goes on. Menu prices and rent, though, will continue to creep, and so will review trotter traffic, which can be more annoying than kids in the neighborhood.
