  3. 'Known for delis'? Please, NYT, please tell me where there's a good deli around here. Give me directions. I'll be there in a heartbeat.

    1. Not exactly a classic deli, but Cipollina makes some good sandwiches using really good meats and cheesees.

    1. Yeah. It's pretty good. Pricey, but good

    2. Hope they will do a better job with the outdoor space than Tokyo Teriaki. So much potential but the former owner lacked imagination or was too cheap to invest in some plants. This could be so charming. If memories of Shanghai does not work out, someone please open up an outdoor café/beer garden.

  6. Sorry but most of the places that have recently opened in the last 2 years do not deliver the goods. The food is not amazing and certainly nothing to celebrate. You want good Chinese go to your local take out or to Flushing but these New chinese restaurants are good only if you do not have a good point of reference to compare them to.
    Sorry but I like good food and these restaurants are just not bringing their A game.
