Wed Jun 28 17:17:24 -0700 2006 12357 food_connoisseur 1 1718901 JG Melon's cottage fries will do you right. Thu Jun 29 16:45:10 -0700 2006 1716823 14761 mstatt54 1 1719335 The best fries are at Pommes Frites in the East Village. The pommes frites at Balthazar are pretty damn good also. http://www.pommesfrites.ws/ Thu Jun 29 18:58:33 -0700 2006 1716823 13788 antjones9 2 1734749 have you tried the Poutine? let me know if you did and liked it. Sun Jul 09 19:24:56 -0700 2006 1719335 12313 sunsuze 3 1737688 The poutine is super good. I've never had authentic poutine but Tony Bourdain featured it on No Reservations a while back and it makes me want to go to Canada to try some. Defintely get it at Pommes Frites...you won't regret it. Tue Jul 11 11:26:56 -0700 2006 1734749 15908 masha bousha 3 1738079 Sorry to report that I have not. I usually go for mayo and the curry ketchup sauce. I should try the poutine - sounds tasty. Tue Jul 11 16:13:52 -0700 2006 1734749 13788 antjones9 1 1728748 My vote goes to Loreley (German restaurant/beer garden) on Rivington St. in the LES for the best fries currently. Super thin, crispy, and greaseless. Heavenly with some good German beer. A close second would be the fries at La Petite Abeille on E. 20th St. at 1st Ave. They sprinkle some nice coarser sea salt on their fries and it is really, really good. Thu Jul 06 04:06:25 -0700 2006 1716823 14335 pkallan 1 1729209 I would have to say that Les Halles on John Street has the best fries or frittes! They are amazing and a great addition to the mussels! Thu Jul 06 14:57:32 -0700 2006 1716823 14050 meatfan 1 1733545 Florent has great fries, cheaper steak frites than balthazar and great burgers to go with them, too (Gansevoort St) Sat Jul 08 18:13:55 -0700 2006 1716823 16728 kenito799 1 1735714 I'll second (or third) Pommes Frites! I also really liked B Frites in Midtown, but I'm almost never in that area, so it's been awhile. Mon Jul 10 15:13:40 -0700 2006 1716823 17708 warrenr 1 1736014 I love the fries at Bruxelles, and they're AYCE with an entree! Mon Jul 10 17:23:29 -0700 2006 1716823 10198 eeee 1 1738209 Loreley's (German restaurant/beer garden) on Rivington St. has some yummy fries. They are very thin, ungreasy, super crispy shoestring fries, especially nice enjoyed with a nice German beer in their outside seating/beer garden in the back. Also La Petite Abeille on 20th St at 1st Ave. makes some great fries too. They sprinkle coarse sea salt on their fries which is a particularly nice touch. Check it out. Tue Jul 11 17:11:34 -0700 2006 1716823 14335 pkallan 2 1752755 I second Loreley's. Incredibly thin and crispy. Wed Jul 19 00:17:30 -0700 2006 1738209 19461 erin 1 1745640 The fries at The Brooklyn Diner on 57th street are thin crispy and a little salty and seasoned....unreal stuff Fri Jul 14 22:47:32 -0700 2006 1716823 19105 nycdeveloper 1 1752719 Nathans in Coney Island. I don't care if they are pre-packaged. Wed Jul 19 00:03:47 -0700 2006 1716823 15393 bigmackdaddy 1 1758871 Pommes Frites, of course. And at Cafe de Bruxelles, a very good Belgian restaurant.
