positive UES developments

We went to Lyly recently.
Good pho, but not among the best pho in the city. Yet we left wishing we had something like it in our neighborhood.

It’s opened !!

we are getting a branch of the well-reviewed, boston-based Tatte Bakery and Cafe just a short walk from our apt!

Reviews from friends nearby have been cautiously optimistic, though there is so much choice for Thai around there that it’s hard to unseat the familiar ones.

what did you think of The Frick?

The frick might be my favorite nyc art museum, it’s been very crowded though. A couples membership quickly pays for itself and one doesn’t have to purchase tickets in advance or join the queue.

Nice! My wife works there. I was just curious of your perspective. Thanks.

Hopefully it’s fun to work there surrounded by so much beauty. My wife was an art history major and prefers it to the met. The size is perfect for an hour and to an hour and half visit.

Best,

There’s almost nothing Mexican on that menu, except for the guac. I mean, it looks good, but folding a roti like a taco does not fusion cuisine make.

Someone should tell Roy Choi that.

Must appeal to someone – it will be their 3rd location.

Goa Taco did pretty well with paratha tacos for a long time (COVID killed them, iirc).

I wouldn’t want saag paneer, which I like (creamed spinach, I love), even on a fresh-made corn tortilla. But you’re right about the minimal Mexican influence on the menu, apart from the shape of the roti tacos, like these, and the naan tacos, which I haven’t tried.

Yeah I don’t get the wet stuff in a taco concept.
Easy to do paneer tikka, tandoori chicken (or even a barely-sauced tikka), pulled lamb, and so on.
