450005 Thu Oct 11 16:52:26 -0700 2007 10 28 Kosher 0 3026833 I'll be in NYC on Sunday and Monday, and will hopefully be able to sneak out for some decent food. We don't know the area that well. Any chowish recommendations? Todah!

Thu Oct 11 17:10:09 -0700 2007 3026833 12009 DeisCane 2 3026904 just as an fyi - jts is on 122nd -- la creperie is okay - truth is the pizza at cafe viva right close to there is a better bet (re: taste) -- but ozu on 87th/88th and amsterdam is stellar. Thu Oct 11 17:18:01 -0700 2007 3026885 90800 LoveKosherEats 3 3026932 What kind of food is Ozu? Thu Oct 11 17:26:05 -0700 2007 3026904 12009 DeisCane 4 3026978 New age Japanese macrobiotic. It's really unbelievable. Thu Oct 11 17:52:38 -0700 2007 3026932 90800 LoveKosherEats 5 3028020 That sounds fantastic. My interest is totally piqued. Fri Oct 12 07:15:24 -0700 2007 3026978 12009 DeisCane 6 3028036 it's really amazing. Get a dinner box -- choice of salmon or seabass, three sides, a soup and brown rice -- $22 or so. amazing. seating is limited and it's often busy so avoid sunday night dinner (the busiest time) Fri Oct 12 07:20:28 -0700 2007 3028020 90800 LoveKosherEats 1 3027259 I'd go to Cafe Viva, on Broadway at about 97th/98th. But if that's too far, honestly, I'd just go to JTS on Monday for lunch, which is a dairy day there.

It's both significantly better food and significantly cheaper. Mon Oct 15 16:13:25 -0700 2007 3029008 71836 masteraleph
