Tir Na Nog has good food strong drinks and great service. I ve been going there for over 20 years. It does get loud when the Knicks, Rangers or the Big East is playing at the Garden

A different price point, but I booked CI SIAMO for this weekend and wonder if anyone here has been and cares to share what dishes were great and which were not so great.
Thanks!!

Actually, I recently received an email from a friend who owns two pizza shops to the effect that suprema is his fav slice in nyc.

I agree with you @vinouspleasure. Having tried Pizza Suprema so many times over the years-- travelling for work in and out of Penn and reading Slice Harvester’s praise-- trying the square, the grandma and the ‘regular’ slice I have never had an experience like those who praise it, and have thrown away plenty of unfinished slices. Lost on me.
Zaro’s: I’ve always had a soft spot for this place. Seems like the wares are better than you’d expect from a place with locations that include Penn Station and (ugh) Port Authority.
Our local Harris-Teeter carries some Zaros stuff too, so they are doing something right.
R&D: The slicers may be young but they are talented. You don’t get translucent slices in the supermarket slab of acme salmon (having said that, supermarket-level acme can still elevate a Harris-Teeter bagel shmeared with Harris-Teeter cream cheese considerably).
There appear to be no travelers around any more, not even fellow-. But let me keep this thread going by recommending some small but mighty things. Alidoro sells for $1.50 sides of their toppings and spreads. The hot spread (I’m putting it on everything I eat on Amtrak as I write), hot pepper jam, black garlic mustard, and olive paste are worthy of you.
The diverse offerings at Moynihan allow a lot of DIY hacks. From Alidoro, a half-baguette ($3) and a side of tomato slices ($1.50). From EAK Ramen, shrimp+broccoli ($12) and spicy mayo ($1). Put together, a decent shrimp po’ boy sub.

If you throw away the broccoli and fry the shrimp 
Pondering the mysteries of Penn - why are there 2 Prets in the same hall?
Raising Cane’s is the hot favorite these days — even at 9am, people will eat chicken fingers.
And if you didn’t know, Chick-fil-A will make their lunch menu to order even at breakfast, if you have 5-10 mins to spare.
Meanwhile, why do the options at south station still suck? I’m going to start a thread.

My wife met a friend for a good but very noisy dinner at Roberta’s in Penn.

Hi @erica1, just saw your post. I ate there (Ci Siamo) with my cousin in October. I thought it was meh and expensive, and I felt I could have been in any mall anywhere. It is a huge place. That all said, we had a nice if unspectacular time there.
Also, ate at that Roberta’s with my daughter and a friend of hers before a concert at MSG. Hit the spot! Also, this one really feels like a mall and is noisy!
Agree about Ci Siamo! Very large, noisy and expensive, and I cannot remember one dish we ate that night!
I pretty much avoid the USH restaurants these days. The fawning reviews have to cost them a lot.
