<p>This is just a quick post to let you know to check out Rhong Tiam if youre looking for a cute, cozy bar/lounge type of place to get a few drinks and chow down on some appetizers! The place is really adorable inside! The funny thing is, the place is so cute, I used a photo of the interior for my <a href="http://www.twitter.com/greedysnob" target="_blank">twitter</a> background before I even knew what this place was.</p>
<p>The other night I went to meet up with my friends, walked in and said HEY THIS PLACE LOOKS FAMILIAR! HAHA! What a coincidence! </p>
<p>Rhong Tiam is actually a Thai Restaurant. I havent tried their food yet because I just went in there to meet up with friends and have a few drinks. We had some appetizers, fried cauliflower (delicious) and some calamari! I was told the calamari was great. I dont eat calamari so I will take their word for it. Other appetizers were ordered but they took so long to come that I <span id="more-850"></span>left before they got there.</p>
<p>The place is really cute, but dont go there if youre in a hurry because they take all day to bring EVERYTHING! And dont let the waitress recommend things to you because she doesnt know wtf shes talking about! Stick to your gut! If you see something on the menu that you want, GET THAT! Dont let the waitress recommend something that she likes better because obviously her taste buds are on vacation.</p>
<p>I was gonna order the banana sticky rice but she recommended the Mango Flan and told me how delicious it was! So instead of sticking to my guns I listened to her! Note to self: Never order FLAN from a Thai restaurant! FLAN IS A LATIN DISH! Sticky rice is a Thai dish. They need to stick to what they know! That flan tasted like breakfast! All I needed was some bacon and hashbrowns. They tried to doll it up and make it look cute with fancy sculpted sugar on top and fancy sauce, but that wasnt nuttn but a damn egg! It tasted like pure egg and had the nerve to be 6 dollars. Did I just pay 6 dollars for a damn egg? The sticky rice was 4 dollars. She must not know what Flan is supposed to taste like, if she did, she wouldnt have said that mess was good. If you didnt know what it was supposed to taste like, I guess u could say it was good. But it wasnt good flan.</p>
<p>Other than that I think the place is cute. And it seems like a chill place to hang out and sip at cocktails and munch on appetizers. I would definitely go back! I would just be sure not to get any latin dishes! lol FYI I went to the one on 2nd ave. </p>

<p>Maaaan BBQs is like an old friend. We go WAY BACK! Ive spent plenty of fun evenings with family and friends at this place. Its not the fanciest place you can go to, but its decent and if you want some good grubbin on a budget, its a great place to go. My favorite location is the one in the East Village. It feels a little more trendy. Maybe because its in the village and because they have the outside seating area.</p>
<p>The west village location has always been a ghetto mess! And its even MORE of a<span id="more-732"></span> ghetto mess since their original location closed down and turned into a bank, and they moved into an old shoe store! They didnt even TRY to make it look like a restaurant! It looks like people are eating their food in a shoe store window! Everytime I walk past that store I secretly laugh at the people inside.</p>
<p>Aside from that, the food is great! My favorite thing to get is the baked half of chicken with fries. They give you a choice of a quarter chicken (costs an extra dollar for white meat), or for 2 dollars more you can get half of chicken. I just get the half. If Im gonna pay extra for white meat, why not just get the white and the dark right? The meat is always seasoned well, cooked well and the barbecue sauce is great! I usually ask for a side of their warm barbecue sauce. For some reason that barbecue sauce in the bottles on the table just isnt the same. I dont know who they think theyre fooling but theyre not fooling me! </p>
<p>The quarter chicken meal is only about 7 dollars. If you go for the early bird special (before 6pm) you can get TWO quarter chicken meals for 10 bucks! If thats not a recession special I dont know what is! Imagine going out to dinner, and only spending 10 dollars for two people! </p>
<p>Their fries are fresh cut and tasty. Sometimes I get the rice. The rice is simple but they put scallions on it which makes it great! Anything with scallions in it is great to me! My mom loves their cornbread and I understand why! It tastes like somebody&#8217;s mama made it!</p>
<p>If you go with a group, make sure you get the onion loaf. Its a fried onion dish shaped sorta like a top hat! Its pretty good but its a bit overwhelming for one or even two people to eat. You need about 3 or maybe even 4 people to polish it off. Its not really something you take to go. Some things taste best when fresh out of the oil.</p>
<p>Their fried honey wings are pretty popular. Ive had them before and theyre good but theyre not a staple in my list of things to get. Theyre a little too messy and the wings are HUGE!! I like dainty little chicken wings. They say theyre chicken wings but they look more like turkey wings! I dont like to eat things that can put me in a headlock.</p>
<p>The baby back ribs are great! Dowsed in barbecue sauce and crisp around the edges. My stomach is getting an attitude with me for teasing it with all this barbecue talk when all its getting is a baked salmon and some white rice for dinner tonight. Thats good food but its no baby back ribs!</p>
<p>BBQs has a pretty decent menu with a little something for everybody! Everything from shrimp cocktail and popcorn shrimp to pulled pork and brisket. If youre in a warm and fuzzy mood try their chicken noodle soup. If youre in the mood for gas, try their chili! Its great! But tell them to hold the onions if youre on a date.</p>
<p>I love to go to BBQs with my mom and sister. Its a special place we go when we want to hang out or celebrate something but we dont want to go overboard. Its a great place to get a hearty meal and a few drinks while bonding with your friends and family without breaking your pockets.</p>
<p>Its also a great place to take a date, especially if youre cheap or broke. Just make sure you hide the drinks/daiquiris menu and tell the waiter to ZIP IT (Because theyre obligated to ask if youd like to purchase a frozen drink!) Drinks cost more than the food! A drink runs between 8 and 15 dollars.<br />
I love the strawberry daquiries! Im a dork, I get the virgin. I really dont like the taste of alcohol and I think the alcohol taste takes away from the deliciousness of the drink. I know. Im weird.</p>
<p>Sidebar: Dear East Village BBQ, please get rid of that ugly green awning!  It is HIDEOUS!  Whos idea was that? THEYRE FIRED!Go back to the brown, it was much more classy and inviting.</p>

<p>This wont be a long drawn out post because its about a deli/salad bar type of place and Im not big on delis. But I just wanted to let you know that Le Basket makes goooooood chicken noodle soup! Thats a hearty meal in that paper cup! There are several reasons I like their soup:</p>
<p>1. It&#8217;s not self serve! A man dishes it for you. That way you know everybody and their swine flu mama hasnt been touching your soup!</p>
<p>2. The meat is lean white meat.</p>
<p>3. They put potatoes in it along with carrots, celery and of course noodles!</p>
<p>4. Its salty enough that it doesnt need salt, but not too salty. And my friend Lisa Marie S. will be happy to know that theres no dill in it.</p>
<p>5. Its cheap! (about $3.50 for a large)</p>
<p>Theyre right across the street from Au Bon Pain on Broadway, but I walk right passed Au Bon Pain with my nose up in the air straight to good ole Le Basket! Their soup is cheaper, better, and it doesnt smell like hot cheese, socks and azz in there like it does in some other places who will remain nameless *cough Au Bon cough Pain*</p>
<p>Their soup is even better than Whole Foods &#8220;Mama&#8217;s chicken soup&#8221;. The flavor of the soup in Whole Foods is a little tastier, but Whole Foods puts a lot of dark meat in their soup. Me no likey! Plus its self serve so everyone touches all on that soup. No ma&#8217;am!</p>
<p>So if youre in the SoHo area and you need some hearty chicken noodle soup, go to Le Basket! </p>

<p>Im typing this as I chow down on soft, yummy oatmeal Insomnia cookies. So Im sure you know what THAT means&#8230; I exchanged my cookies! I told you their asses were not gonna rest until I got new cookies! </p>
<p>Heres how it went down:</p>
<p>I went into the store today and I see this brunette chick&#8230;and I&#8217;m wondering &#8220;is this the same dumbass that I dealt with last time?&#8221; I was guessing it wasn&#8217;t because I could have <em>sworn</em> the last chick was a blonde. But now I realize it wasn&#8217;t her that was blonde, it was her BEHAVIOR.</p>
<p>Not saying all blondes are dumb&#8230;but if youre a blonde, you should be glad <em>she</em> wasn&#8217;t, because she was really living up to &#8220;blonde&#8221; stereotypes and would have set all you  <a href="http://www.cinema.com/film/5485/legally-blonde/synopsis.phtml" target="_blank">&#8220;legally blonde&#8221;</a> chicks back a few college years.</p>
<p>With that said, lets get into the BS that ensued. So I walk in and see her standing behind the counter. I ask her if there was a manager around and she was all &#8220;ME! Im the manager!&#8221;..all proud. Like being the manager of a cookie shop is a BIG accomplishment for her grown ass. I think NOT&#8230;Unless u still have <em>teen</em> at the end of your age. Which clearly she didn&#8217;t. (You&#8217;re probably saying &#8220;Well she&#8217;s probably a college student&#8221;..but who gives a shyt? Act proud once u have a real job. There are people with masters degrees that work as cashiers at Wal*Mart! Maaaaan obviously they let ANYBODY into college these days..because she&#8217;s stupid as hell!)</p>
<p>So Im like &#8220;well I bought some cookies from here a few days ago, which were hard..and the girl wouldn&#8217;t let me exchange em&#8221;. And she lashes out like she&#8217;s crazy talkin about &#8220;IT WAS ME! I wouldn&#8217;t exchange em!&#8221;..and I was like &#8220;well Im BACK! And im here to exchange these cookies&#8221;. So she tells me &#8220;like I told u before&#8230;we don&#8217;t exchange cookies.&#8221; So I asked her &#8220;who is YOUR boss?&#8221; And she tells me that her boss is all the way in Indiana somewhere (and I WILL be looking them up)&#8230;and she doesn&#8217;t know what I expect her to do.</p>
<p>She had major attitude too&#8230;then every now and then, she would soften her voice to try to trick me into thinking she was being nice! Psssh Im no fool! I don&#8217;t know when white people turned into black people but she had attitude all up in her neck. Maybe SHE wasn&#8217;t black..but her neck sure was. Don&#8217;t be givin ME the black neck when im black and IM not even serving up the black neck mmmmkay?! I was all polite and she was doing her best ghetto-as-hell impression. See? Black people aren&#8217;t the only people who can act ghetto. (Sidebar: If anyone is offended by this post. I apologize&#8230;(unless youre the chick im talking about. YOU SHOULD be offended because you&#8217;re an ASS)..but I tell things just the way I feel..and this is not THEE most politically correct blog you will ever visit. Im just telling MY story. And guess who&#8217;s blog this is. If you guessed GreedySnob&#8217;s DING DING DING DING DING&#8230;you are correct. You win a chance to keep reading! To those who guessed otherwise, congratulations, you win a consolation prize of  navigating to another blog that&#8217;s more suitable for your taste. And when I say &#8220;another&#8221; blog, I just mean another post on THIS Blog which isnt a rant about how Insomnia Cookies lady abused me. </p>
<p>Anyhoo..so the chick is all annoyed, and Im standing there like &#8220;Um..Im still waiting to exchange my cookies&#8221;..and she&#8217;s all &#8220;well I can&#8217;t give u a refund&#8221;..I said &#8220;I didn&#8217;t ask you for a refund. All I asked was to exchange my cookies for fresh ones&#8221;&#8230;so her dumbass tells me &#8220;well the best I can do is give you 2 or 3 free cookies&#8221; (isn&#8217;t that the same damn thing? She just changed the words around to make it seem like she was doing me a favor. Call it what you want lady. Pat yourself on the back and everything. Just give me my damn cookies!).</p>
<p>So I said &#8220;thank you! That&#8217;s all I was asking for! I will take 3! Considering it was 4 hard cookies that I bought&#8221;. So she gives be 3 new cookies&#8230;shaking her head and mumbling. She was mad as hell. I DON&#8217;T CARE! She can be mad all day. Id rather HER be mad than me! And I was getting my cookies so I was glad. Works for ME. So she<br />
angrily shoved the cookies across the counter. I gladly took em..and no I did not snatch em. I let her be an asshole all by herself. I said thank you and threw the hard ass cookies in the garbage. I shook my head in disgust at her stank attitude and peaced out.</p>
<p>Overall it worked out. Yeah I took a loss of one dollar..but hey..better $1 than $4! So im good. And if you&#8217;re wondering..no, I will NOT stop going into Insomnia cookies for my cookie fix. Me not buying 4 dollars worth of cookies once in a while isn&#8217;t gonna hurt anyone but me. I have nothing against Insomnia cookies on 8th street or Insomnia cookies as a whole. They have great cookies (when they&#8217;re not hard like rocks). Its just that ONE chick who I have a problem with! Plus, considering she hates me now, it will give me joy to go in there with a smile on my face while she serves me cookies. And she can&#8217;t lick &#8216;em or do anything vile to them because they&#8217;re already made and I can see her when she packs them. So to lick MY cookies she&#8217;d have to lick everyone&#8217;s cookies (ooh that didn&#8217;t sound right lmao)</p>
<p>So we are still Insomnia Cookies fans arent we guys!? We just know to taste our cookies before we leave the store!</p>

<p>I guess I spoke too soon when I gave Insomnia Cookies (the one on 8th street in Greenwich Village) a good review! Insomnia is officially on my shit list! If they don&#8217;t give me my 4 dollars back THEY&#8217;RE gonna have insomnia! Im not gonna let them rest until I get what I want!</p>
<p> I don&#8217;t have money to just throw away. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt! Maybe they were having a bad night! All will be forgiven once they exchange those stale ass cookies they sold me for some fresh soft ones!</p>
<p>But noooo! My friend was right! They&#8217;re falling off! They sold her some hard rocks recently too! And another time I bought a hard cookie from them! It tasted like a brown frisbee!</p>
<p>I wish I had tasted the cookies before I had gone home. I guess before you leave the store you have to do a taste test to make sure they&#8217;re not selling you rocks! Now you know! DON&#8217;T LEAVE THERE UNTIL YOU TASTE A COOKIE FIRST!</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t try to eat my cookies until I was all the way home! A 30-45 minute train ride away!</p>
<p>So today I go in there and politely explain to the woman that I had bought cookies from there and they were hard and I wanted to exchange them. And she&#8217;s all &#8220;well we don&#8217;t take cookies back&#8221;. Im like &#8220;I&#8217;ve exchanged a cookie before&#8221;. She&#8217;s like &#8220;well u should have come back yesterday&#8221;. So I said &#8220;I was all the way home in another borough by then! Im not gonna pay $2.25, commute all the way back to exchange cookies&#8221;..she goes &#8220;well you should have called so id be expecting you&#8221;. She wasn&#8217;t even THERE yesterday! So how the hell was I gonna call her dumb ass?<br />
 What kind of sense does that make! Stupid ass crackhead logic is what that is!</p>
<p>Wtf was she gonna do if I had called? Psychically connect to me and send me new cookies over the airwaves!? Technology is good these days but we haven&#8217;t evolved that far yet!  So Im like &#8220;well what would calling have done!? Im here in person now!&#8221;&#8230;she goes &#8220;well im not sure what you want me to do!&#8221;</p>
<p>EXCHANGE MY COOKIES DUMBASS! Its not even like I was asking for my money back! All I wanted was an exchange! She acts like the 4 dollars was coming out of HER pocket! I&#8217;ve never even seen her before! She must be new! They haven&#8217;t heard the last of ME! I&#8217;ll wait until someone more important is there!</p>
<p>I buy cookies at Insomnia so much and bring them so much new business, that I&#8217;ve gotten free cookies just because the guy knows my face! Just because HER little silly ass is new and obviously doesn&#8217;t know customer service policies (&#8220;The customer is always right&#8221;)..She thinks she can just come in there and change the rules!? I THINK NOT!</p>
<p>Whatever bleach she uses in her hair must have penetrated her brain and faded her common sense!</p>
<p>I will be back! And I will get new cookies! I WON&#8217;T SLEEP UNTIL I GET JUSTICE!</p>
<p>I guess THAT&#8217;S why they call themselves &#8220;Insomnia&#8221;.</p>

<p>Im gonna need for Insomnia Cookies to get their act together! I bought some hard ass crunchy cookies from them today! If I wanted some hard, dusty, stale tasting cookies, I would have gotten Chips Ahoy! I dont go to Insomnia for crunch! I go there for moist, chewy deliciousness! This is the 2nd time I got some hard ass cookies from them and my friend got a stale ass brownie. INSOMNIA YOURE FALLING OFF! You dont want me to retract my previous statement of how great you are! </p>
<p>Luckily theyre good about returns! because I&#8217;m sure gonna return the 6 cookies I bought from them! And theyre lucky theyre doing a relief fund for Haiti so I will let them slide! Props to the do gooders!</p>
<p>THIS IS YOUR WARNING INSOMNIA! THE COOKIES HAD BETTER BE MOIST, WARM AND DELICIOUS TOMORROW OR YOURE GETTING A DEMERIT! lol</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re ever walking down the street in the village and you see a long line coming out of a hole in the wall, GET ON IT because most likely its the line for Mamoun&#8217;s, the best falafel you may ever have, unless you catch a flight out to Isreal! You really can not beat Mamoun&#8217;s falafels. Not only are they good but theyre cheap! $2.50 will take you a long way in that place! If you have 5 dollars you may as well be rich! Dont be intimidated by the line because it moves pretty quickly. They make sandwiches all day so theyre almost like machines. In a pita bread trance just stuffing and wrapping stuffing and wrapping. </p>
<p>If you make special requests, make sure to check your order. Because most people are not annoying like us, and just order standard falafels with all the fixins, so being the machines that they are, it becomes second nature to just throw everything in there without thought. I cant tell you how many times ive gotten extra tomatoes in my &#8220;no tomato&#8221; falafel. But I dont blame them. Its my fault for being picky. One of my favorite things to do, is go around the corner to <a href="http://www.greedysnob.com/2010/01/07/pluck-u/" target="_blank">Pluck U</a> and get a side of their mild sauce and pour that into my falafel sandwich! Just when you thought a falafel couldnt get any better, the Pluck U sauce mixed with their tahini sauce just sends it through the roof! </p>
<p>The people in Pluck U would look at me sideways when Id go in there and just order sauce and no chicken, so I had to finally confess to them what I was doing with it. They didnt mind though because Im such a regular customer of theirs we&#8217;re like family! HAHA</p>
<p>Everytime I&#8217;m in the village, I feel the need to drop in and grab a falafel, even if Im not hungry. I know eventually I will be and its an exciting feeling to know that when you get hungry you have a falafel in your bag. I have walked (i like to walk. as much as I eat, its much needed) from 34th street, to 8th street for a Mamoun&#8217;s falafel. Some people may find that strange because New York City streets are filled with halal carts and stands that boast to have the best falafels. Yes I can easily stop at one of those and get a falafel, but all falafels are not the same. And once you&#8217;ve had Mamoun&#8217;s you compare every falafel to theirs, and its not fair to the other falafel stands so I dont even bother.</p>
<p>Mamoun&#8217;s is not a sit down restaurant although they do have a couple of benches and tables inside, and I do see people sitting and eating in there. You wont catch ME eating in there! Its too cramped and kinda dark, and  damp dark places give me the willies. They keep it as clean as they can but the turnaround in that place is so quick! People are in and out all day so its hard to pick up every piece of lettuce that falls on the floor as soon as it gets there. So I just get in, get my grub and get out. Id rather walk down the street and eat it.</p>
<p>They also have chicken kabob sandwiches, shawarma, full platters, and other dishes and desserts, but I usually stick to the falafels. People tell me that the other food is just as great though. If you plan on getting a platter, bring more than 2 dollars and change though. Platters start at 5 dollars and go up to about 10.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>230 Thompson St.<br />
(Btwn 3rd St. &#038; Bleecker St.)<br />
212-979-2468</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/plucku.jpg"><img src="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/plucku-300x192.jpg" alt="" title="plucku" width="300" height="192" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-271" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wings1.jpg"><img src="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/wings1-300x247.jpg" alt="" title="wings1" width="300" height="247" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-272" /></a></p>
<p>Gotta love the name! the name alone makes you want to call em up and say PLUCK YOU! This place has thee absolute BEST buffalo wings I have ever had! Now, I know youre all &#8220;well you said the same thing about the Olive Tree&#8217;s buffalo wings&#8221;. That&#8217;s because they taste EXACTLY the same (and theyre right around the corner from each other&#8230;hmmmm)</p>
<p>Just thinking about the sauce is making my mouth water. I usually get &#8220;medium&#8221; sauce on my wings, and a side of mild sauce to dowse them in. They have 4 choices of hot sauces which are mild, medium, hot and DEATH and if youre not into hot sauce you can get Barbeque (which is a little bit spicy) or Gold sauce (i dont know wtf that is but it tastes good too). I recommend getting Medium, because its spicy enough for a kick, but it wont make your nose run. I dont have time to be plugging my nose when Im inhaling my wings. People always ask me &#8220;Is the DEATH sauce really hot?&#8221;&#8230;what do YOU THINK!? Its called DEATH! I licked it once and fainted! Im exaggerating but u get the point. </p>
<p>I also really love their bleu cheese dipping sauce. I dont even LIKE bleu cheese sauce but I LOVE theirs! I dont know what they put in it or what they do to it but it is FANTASTIC! Im telling you, even if you dont like bleu cheese sauce, at least try it. You might love it! It tastes nothing like regular bleu cheese sauce. But if youre with your date, pass on that sauce because your breath will be KICKIN after you eat it!</p>
<p>Speaking of your significant other, dont go there for a date because you will be highly upset. This is a take out place. There is barely anywhere to sit. Its so small you&#8217;ll have to take turns to chew. Its also kinda dusty in there since they moved from their old location. They used to have a really cute space right on West 3rd street. But their lease expired and rent isnt cheap so they had to move to a hole. I miss the old place. It was more trendy and Tyson Bekford used to eat there a lot (with his fine self!). Since they moved everyone takes their food to go.</p>
<p>Aside from wings they have really great all white meat chicken fingers (Sidebar: Dont eat the chicken fingers WITH the curly fries. This combonation gives me the <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bubble%20guts" target="_blank">bubbleguts</a> EVERY TIME! eat either one or the other, NOT BOTH!). They also have mozzarella sticks (which I like to dip in mild sauce, I dont like marinara), onion rings (I dip these in bleu cheese), fresh cut fries, curly fries, grilled chicken sandwiches and wraps etc. I say &#8220;etc&#8221; because Pluck U has gone OVERBOARD with their menu. They need to stick to the plan. I first discovered this restaurant in the 90s, and they had a basic menu with the aforementioned dishes. But now they have fried chicken, burgers, munchers, and a bunch of mess that doest need to be in there like JAMAICAN FOOD!</p>
<p>WTF ARE YALL DOING WITH JAMAICAN FOOD? Youre a buffalo wing spot! I dont want curry chicken with rice &#038; peas from a damn buffalo wing place. I LOVE Jamaican food! Even the chain variety (*cough* Golden Krust)..but I dont want to get my beef patties from a damn buffalo wing store. Stick to the theme. That really annoys me! Thats like when TV Land started showing &#8220;CSI&#8221;! that is some BS! I like CSI but I dont want to see it on TV Land after &#8220;I Love Lucy&#8221;. I digress.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in the Greenwich Village area and youre in the mood for some wings to go, definitely go to Pluck U! If you want some wings, but youre in a &#8220;to stay&#8221; type of mood&#8230;then go around the corner to <a href="http://www.greedysnob.com/category/middle-eastern/">The Olive Tree Cafe</a>. </p>

New York, NY 10003<br />
(212) 529-2363<br />
<a href="http://www.cafetasia.com">cafetasia.com</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cafetasia01.jpg"><img src="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cafetasia01-300x200.jpg" alt="" title="cafetasia01" width="300" height="200" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-226" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cafetasia.jpg"><img src="http://www.greedysnob.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cafetasia-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="cafetasia" width="300" height="225" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-227" /></a></p>
<p>Cafetasia is one of my favorite places to eat. It&#8217;s soooo pretty in there! The floating candles are beautiful. Gives it a real Harry Potter feel! That was one of the main places I would order from when I worked in SoHo (it was too far to walk to all the time). The service is great and the food is deeelish! My favorite dish is the chicken basil with fried egg. OMG Seriously after tasting that dish, it was the only thing I would order every day for like a month. That got me addicted to having fried eggs on all my dishes! Now, whenever I go into a thai restaurant I annoy them by asking them to alter their dishes by putting a fried egg on top. I dont care if it&#8217;s pad thai! I will put an egg on it. (*singing* If you like it then you shoulda put an egg on it uh oh ohhhh)</p>
<p>Their prices are pretty reasonable, especially if you go around lunch time. A lunch special is about $7.50 (between $9 and $20 for dinner) and lunch specials comes with an appetizer! You cant beat that! I recommend the petite cheese and crab rangoon as an appetizer! Its sooooooo good! If you go there, make sure youre going to be in the neighborhood for the next few days, because youre going to want to eat their food every day for at least a week.</p>
<p>My other favorite dishes include the Pepper dish and the grilled chicken with salad&#8230;but the grilled chicken with salad dish isn&#8217;t very filling.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a pad thai fan, you might want to pass on theirs. Im not overly fond of their pad thai. It has a funny after taste to <em>me</em>. I also hate the summer rolls&#8230;but that doesnt mean their summer rolls are bad. I think I hate summer rolls in general because they have mint leaves in them. I do NOT like mint in my food! blech!</p>
<p>Overall, Cafetasia is a great restaurant with fantastic service. Its a perfect place to go to for lunch and its a pretty romantic place to take a date as well. Its right in the east village near NYU, so after you eat, you can walk it off by shopping or window shopping if youre broke. It&#8217;s also right around the corner from Washington Square park. So if its warm outside, you can hang out in the park. Sight see and watch the weirdos walk by, be entertained by street performers, stare at protesters, give bums change, score some weed or whatever floats your boat..there&#8217;s a lot going on in that park. </p>
<p>I highly recommend Cafetasia! Go there then come back here and tell me what you thought of it!</p>

<p>This is one of my favorite places to go. Whenever friends come from out of town and want to grab a bite, this is the first place I take them. Its a very cozy place to be. Right in the heart of Greenwich village (off Bleecker Street) you cant go wrong with The Olive Tree. There is really something for everyone.</p>
<p>From traditional Middle Eastern dishes like Shawarma, Kabobs, felafel, hummus, Baba ghanoush, Israeli salad to fun foods like the most amazing Buffalo wings I have ever had this place will satisfy all. The atmosphere is very comfortable and cute, with silent Charlie Chaplain films playing on a projector. It even has a slight kid friendly vibe with tables that you can write on with chalk. If you want to keep the kids occupied, it might be smart to bring your own colorful chalk because they only have white.</p>
<p>On top of that, the prices are very reasonable! A chicken kabob sandwich will cost you about $6.50, a platter with rice is about 11 dollars. The restaurant is very clean and neat, and can actually be classified as a &#8220;nice&#8221; restaurant. You can go there for drinks with friends, a date, or even a business meeting. If youre in the mood for a good laugh, guess what! THE COMEDY CELLAR is right downstairs!</p>
<p>And all the same foods can be purchased in the comedy cellar! The comedy cellar stage has been graced by some of the greatest comedians of today such as Wanda Sykes, Dave Chapelle, Chris Rock, Robin Williams and even Jerry Sienfeld! If you cant afford to go to the comedy cellar, just go to the bathroom and walk really slow, cuz you have to go through the comedy cellar to get to the bathroom. But make sure you look your best, or you might get clowned.</p>
<p>Speaking of the bathroom, it&#8217;s so small, you can be inside it and outside it at the same time. Why bother even going all the way in? You can stick your butt in and keep your head out to watch the comedy show. Make a note to self not to eat too much if you go there, cuz if you get too fat, you wont fit in the bathroom.They need to do something about that.</p>
<p>Other than that, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a laid back atmosphere with fun food. By the way&#8230;if you want to feel warm and fuzzy inside, grab a hot apple cider or warm milk and honey. You wont be disappointed!</p>
<p>The area is also very lively, so once youre done eating, go outside and buy some sterling silver jewelry off of an outside vendor, or a nice bong from around the corner if youre a weedhead (or a crackhead? lol just kidding)..there are also all kinds of boutiques, dessert shops (Red Mango frozen yogurt is also deelish&#8230;Pinkberry who?). And if youre wondering, NO i am not a weedhead, and i dont own a bong..the little ones look like penises. WTF?!&#8230;I do want a hooka though! I dont smoke but I think they&#8217;re pretty. I tried hooka once though..its fun&#8230;if u like coughing. lol</p>
<p>My favorite dishes:</p>
<p>Buffalo Wing and Mozarella Sticks platter: (i dont like cheese that stretches so I usually wait for my sticks to cool off before I eat them. I know..I&#8217;m strange). The wings are honestly the best buffalo wings I&#8217;ve ever had. My friend who claims to be a &#8220;wing EXPERT&#8221; gave me the side eye when I suggested this restaurant. Once he tasted the wings, he gave me my props! HA! Just make sure you ask for them to be well done. Buffalo wings are best when theyre nice and crispy.</p>
<p>Chicken Kabob sandwich: Yummy well seasoned chunks of chicken, fresh off the skewer and tucked into pita bread with lettuce and isreali salad. It comes with your choice of yogurt or tahina dressing. I usually pass on the dressings and ask for buffalo wing hot sauce with mine. Yeah I&#8217;m annoying lol. Also, if you find a lil piece of wood once in a while, dont fret&#8230;i told you its FRESH off the skewer!</p>
<p>Chicken Kabob Platter: Same wonderful chunks of chicken as in the sandwich but theyre still on the skewers, served with isreali salad and your choice of fries (yeah), rice (OH YEAH!), or mashed potatoes. All are good but with this dish I prefer the rice. I love the isreali salad too!</p>
<p>Drinks: I really dont drink alcohol, so I usually have the hot apple cider&#8230;its so yummy with the cinnamon sticks that they put in it. And if im feeling chilly, i will have the warm milk with honey! Just make sure youre on your way home (or back to your hotel) if you drink the warm milk because it might make you sleepy.</p>
