Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: More by choice than convenience, you can find me grabbing lunch here at least two times a week. So much so the guy at the cashier will not even ask for my order anymore. A smile and a nod of…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Had a HUGE hot dog and fries... along with a drink for $8.60. The hot dog could have easily been cut in half and served two... this place has all kinds of deli type foods.... the restroom seems to be…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: I'm impressed. For about $13-$16 depending on what platter choice you pick, it's pretty fulfilling and it includes a free Quickly drink. Usually come here just for bubble teas and slush...but who…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: I've been here for Tuesday mussels, Wednesday Lobsters, Thursday (and Monday) Oysters and weekend brunch - but today, I'll be reviewing a saturday night at the Essex bar. Yes, I've whored it all the…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: I've reunited with my old friend bOb's this past weekend and it brought back memories of Summer 2004 Thursdays - good hip hop, elbow to elbow dancing, and red stripe beers. You gotta love a place…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Katra is a pretty good NYC lounge. It is crowded, but not SO bad that you can't move. I went on a Saturday night, and the music was surprisingly good. The DJ didn't know how to mix at all, but at…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: For a small "one-scoop" cup, you can split it and get two flavors! Amazing, no? A bit crowded, it's a free-for-all-line at times, but generally pretty organized, and their scoopologists are friendly…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: We went around looking for a Saturday brunch place. The 3 or 4 other places that we went to first had at least an hour wait. This place was packed, but we were able to sit down immediately. Food was…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Awesome atmosphere, great place for a birthday party or special occasion. They have a dance floor, dj, bar area, couches you name it. Low key trendy bar perfect for downtown. Drinks little…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: I never knew this place was called the Crash Mansion! I used to come here all the time when I went to BLVD. I thought they were the same thing but I guess I was wrong. I haven't gone to BLVD for…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Nobody visits this place for the scenery. Food is tasty, plentiful and not greasy. I shared 4-5 large plates with friends and the whole meal cost each of us $13. Feel free to BYOB. Service is…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: After the excitement wears off - "veggie dim sum? alright!!" - you're left with the unescapable fact that the food here is sub par. Some of the dishes are OK, but for the most part they're just not…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: It's taken 9 months but I've finally managed to patronize each of the restaurants in the Joe's Shanghai trifecta. Be prepared for a wait of at least an hour and once seated, expect hurried wait…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Hole in the wall, amazing dumpling heaven. This place was recommended to me by a friend whose ethnically-Chinese godmother knows Chinatown inside and out. Fried Dumpling Shan Dong is cheap too! Try…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: It's not the nicest place and there are only 2 tables, so don't come here with a big group of people. There are seats along a counter, but it's not really conducive to conversation if you come with…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: I've been here many times for dim sum with my family. It's a decent sized restaurant but not as big as Jing Fong, which in my book is a good thing. Not the least bit touristy like Jing Fong. They…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: What hell happened.. i arranged a valentines date to this spot (her idea) and wow. The food is a blur, but i do remember lots of appetizers and a package deal for food and drinks. I spent the majority…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: I was there yesterday for the sample sale and was very impressed with both the quality of the clothing and the way I was treated by the staff. I purchased their dress that can be worn at least 6…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Had this today - it's a very very good sandwich, although limited slicers (2?) - they give you a ton of meat (Boar's head), and it's on great homemade bread. If I hadn't been to Pane Peppe in…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: stopped in for dessert after a delicious mexican feast. i thought it'd be too heavy after the dinner, but the cheesecake (just like K.L mentioned) was very light and airy. the man behind the counter…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Best Place in Manhattan proper to see a movie. Nice, good sized screens. Yum treats ranging from popcorn to dried fruits & nuts Nice employees Great flicks (regular to foreign) Best of all, you…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: I have been going to Mott St for over 10 years. I live in NJ. The places near my house won't make the glasses the way I want them. Mott is very friendly, they even send them to me in the mail. I…

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: Food was good, drinks were watered down, and i waited waaayy too long for a table only to have a nasty in a rush waitress screw up my order anyway.. no thanks.

Oct. 13, 2008 From Yelp.com: My boys are always tryin to get me to go to boss tweeds for beer pong, and they finally got me in the door last wednesday. It was my type
