No matter how small my student budget becomes, I always scrimp and save for:

- the Super Heeb at Russ & Daughters
- pastrami, mustard, rye and lots of pickles at Katz's
- two dogs with sauerkraut and a banana drink at Gray's Papaya
- schwarma sandwich at Azuri Cafe
- the dumplings right next to the LIRR station in Flushing
- happy hour at Lure Fishbar
- chicken/lamb combo platter on 53rd & 6th, extra hot sauce
- an order of roast pork at Big Wong
- cubano at Margon, with extra green spicy sauce
- bagel at Ess-A with their scallion tofu spread
- the Picante sandwich at Despaña
- and -- I don't care how trendy this has become -- I love the plain froyo at 40 Carrots.

Initially I was daunted by the breadth of your New York experiences, but then more awed. Any list that can CHer that can appreaciate Per Se and White Castle in the same list is one I admire! Perhaps I will take your recommendation on Spicy and Tasty after services this morning!

[Miss Needle]

Ha ha. White Castle is indeed a culinary treasure that can be appreciated by the most discriminating of palates. : )

Just wanted to mention that if you're going to Spicy and Tasty today, I had problems finding that fish and bean curd dish on the menu last time I was there. So the menu may have changed. But it's served in a chafing dish on the table.

If you haven't done so, you really should try to lamb burger at the Xian stall at 41-28 Main Street. Best $2.50 you'll ever spend.
