smokey plumes of liquid nitrogen have been freely flowing on 43rd street for a few weeks now. evil biryani house, your days are numbered…

perhaps they were carried away by the lateness of the hour, or by a time that was getting more and more confused— the grey, intoxicating time outside space, which upsets the clocks of the memory and seems to set words free.

sunnyside food notes...
since the best food writer in sunnyside ended up turning into a horrible backstabbing cheater and suddenly fled the ‘hood under a cover of grotesque lies and revisionist distortions, from time to time, i’ll be noting new changes to the food landscape in the area.
a bunch of new stuff in the past couple of weeks…
- sunnyside pizza. it’s pretty solid. easily the best slice in the neighborhood. not quite rizzos good, but the nonna slice is seriously tasty. plus, real italian guys run it. my only gripe: they close at 9:30. silly considering the location.
- tamale lady on 40th! monika spotted her last week but so far it seems like she, sadly, may only be there in the day time during the week.
- pecas y más is open again. seriously, when they closed in the middle of the summer unexpectedly, during the height of cholado season, i cried. yesterday i noticed they are back and seem to be featuring more colombian foodstuffs beyond crazy hot dogs with quail eggs.
- i hit up kebab & grill halal fast food last week and it hit the spot as well. it looks slightly depressing in there, but for $5 i got 3 pakistani veggies and two killer chapli kebabs: ground chicken, green chilies, whole coriander seeds, and spices. badass. tons of food for $5.
- staying on the south asian tip. the long awaited new indian spot, sonali, opened on 45th and the blvd. went by last night post-pub around 10 to grab a menu and two things struck me. 1) it’s super cheap, tons of appetizers in the $1-2 range. 2) IT’S OPEN 24 HOURS!!!! plus, they deliver 24 hours. incredible. die biryani house. just die.
- scary turkish seafood place with no one ever in it, marmara, finally flat-lined. construction for some new ‘restaurant and lounge’ going on.
