I don't have an endless need for $15 or $20 bowls of noodles, but as a lifelong lover of Chinese food I can only take pleasure in being so close to Mala Project and Mountain House, both outstanding, and not modern, or fancy or fusion. Tim Ho Wan is also good, not great, and quite reasonably priced. I had high hopes for Bao when they opened on St. Mark's, but except for their xlb or soup dumplings--which were always excellent--their food was inconsistent and we lost interest over time. <br /><br />Speaking of noodles: I don't know much about pho, but I do know that the Hanoi House broth is exceptional. <br /> sophocleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619794822543934239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-11675135852814515462018-07-02T13:38:16.248-04:002018-07-02T13:38:16.248-04:00Thanks for the Eater story.

Which among EVG readers only I seem to be noticing by the way. Or maybe nobody cares. Look, I don't really care one way or the other myself. Just find it curious, and somewhat interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-30735305215492160582018-06-29T16:26:04.142-04:002018-06-29T16:26:04.142-04:00This partnership between LinkNYC and Svedka is exa...This partnership between LinkNYC and Svedka is exactly what my life has been missing.
