New Yorkers, recs for good Levantine food? I'll be there Wednesday and Thursday, and everyone is telling me Tanoreen in Bay Ridge. Previously I've been to Ilili and Manousheh. Help needed, I need to show someone who's never had much of it how good such food is! (most the options in DC are terrible). Thanks!

Sorry I missed your above post & hope that the trip went well.  Did you wind up at Tanoreen?  If so, did you get to talk to Ranier, who is in charge of their bar?

I did end up at Tanoreen, but for lunch. He wasn't there, but we're now connected on instagram hahaha.

 

Tanoreen was awesome, though. The hype is real

Here's a "human interest" NYT article about one of the owners

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

"...in the mid-’90s when the internet was coming...there was a tendency to assume that when all the world’s knowledge comes online, everyone will flock to it. It turns out that if you give everyone access to the Library of Congress, what they do is watch videos on TikTok."  -Neil Stephenson, author, in The Atlantic

 

"In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual." -Galileo Galilei, physicist and astronomer
