I'm not sure it it's still there, but when I was living in Bethesda, MD, there was a place near BCCHS called the New Delhi Deli.

tryska, does your avatar have any particular meaning?

I like Honest Tea as well. There's a delicious bottled green tea that I've had a few times, but I can't remember the name off the top of my head. I'll have to check next time I'm at the store. Totally unsweetened and a nice earthy flavor. Does anyone dislike sweetened tea as much as I do? I don't think I'd survive in the south, do they ever serve unsweetened tea down there?

I'm a big fan of The Republic of Tea (yes, brought to you by the very folks who gave us Banana Repbulic) vanilla almond flavor. Yum.

that's the animated one right? so it was good? Yes! I laughed a lot. For a 'silent' flick, it was pretty damn funny.

OMG! I think I actaully cackled a few times while reading through those comments. Thanks for sharing!

Had dinner tonight at Three of Cups -- quaint sorta italian place with brick walls, velvet curtains, candlelight, etc. Right after we ordered, they started blasting Led Zepplin. Very strange. Oh, and then we went to see The Triplets from Belleville at the Sunshine Cinema -- excellent flick.

Diner: Could I see your wine list? Waiter: Oh - we have both types - Red and White Even better is "we have all three kinds -- red, white and pink". didn't your sig formerly say "fuckin' idiots"? think i liked it better like that. and that red, white, pink response is a hoot. Nope. I would never use such vulgar fuckin language. Sheesh.

Hmmm. I'm gonna be all over the Duane Reade when I get outta work.

K, where did you find them? In the city?

I just sent an email to my brother (who works for Nabisco) indicating that a few hundred tins of these puppies would make a nice Christmas gift. I'm hopeful. When I was in college and told him I liked Easy Cheese (in the squirty cans) he hooked me up with an entire case. I was the most popular girl in the dorm when word got out that I had such a supply of the stuff.

I spotted them at World Market when I was in Ohio during Thanksgiving. If I don't see them here in NYC, I'm having mom ship me a box.

Anyone tried these yet? They're absolutely delicious. I've eaten an entire tin in just 3 days.

Add some fries, a couple of brewskis, tax and tip, and you're at about $33-$35. Damn, I'm glad I don't drink! Saves me a few $$. you don't drink? we'll teach you yet, young wanker. Not drinking is a relatively new concept for me (hell, I'm Irish & German). First of all, I hate beer. Hate it. It's downright vile. And I only have a taste for red wine when I'm having certain foods, so I'm usually relegated to the liquor category. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I don't like anything particularly sweet so that rules out most mixed drinks. I don't like whiskey, so there goes that. I generally order gin & tonic. I REALLY like gin & tonic. and I REALLY like limes. I can't have just ONE gin & tonic. I can't afford to have as many gin & tonics as I usually end up ordering (little buggers are 'spensive in the city). So not only do I get a bit too tipsy, but I also wind up broke. So I've decided to stick to ginger ale (with the limes of course) for a year and see how that goes. Mostly just to see if I can do it. Although if you're convinced you could get me to knowingly consume alcohol, I'm willing to start taking bets.

The word 'homemade' appears on the menu. This is especially bad when it appears next to 'special sauce'.

Ugh. Out of curiosity, I stopped at a McCafe in Sicily a couple of years ago. Tried a capuccino or something and it was atrocious. I think I managed to choke down 2 sips before dumping it. What's next, a McD's sushi bar?

I don't have a high horse on this one, but the simple answer is that restaurant employees like money, and this would remove some of that. How? Are the restaurants selling cigarettes? It's not like smokers are going to stop going out as a result of the ban. Look at NYC. You can't smoke ANYWHERE -- restaurants, bars, clubs, etc. (except for outside), and places are still packed to the hilt.

Why do you feel that employees of restaurants would not be in favor of this? I don't know of any businesses in NYC which have closed as a result of the smoking ban. I know that I, for one, go out a LOT more often now that I can do so without going home reeking of smoke.

I enjoy both. I like the smell of my Cafe du Monde (with a dash of cinnamon added to the grounds) brewing away in the morning and my Vanilla Almond tea steeping away at my desk as soon as I sit down in the mornings. My day gets all outta whack if I can't have both.

Saturday 12/13 1:00 at Blue Smoke. I know some of you have responded here and some have probably PM'd your RSVP to Elyse or Suzanne, but I'm just curious as to what the headcount is so far. Who's coming?

Maybe that's why they call it a BBQ sandwich -- without slop, it simply doesn't qualify as a Sloppy Joe.

Me! I'll be there, and I'll bring a friend or two.

Amen. I love sidewalk cafes. And regarding the smoke factor, at least if I'm going to have to sit next to smokers, their smoke will waft away much better outdoors.
