I love Veselka but HOTDAMN I'm excited about this.
ReplyDeleteI don't care who takes it over - as long as they have $2 iced coffee on my walk to the train. I wouldn't mind a little mac and cheese in the AM though..
ReplyDeleteI love S'MACS cheeseburger mac and cheese. May have to stop there tonight.
ReplyDeletehamburger helper is twice as good and half the price
ReplyDeletelike the alpine and parisienne at smac/ hope they'll have the same menu, and not a limited one, as the one on 12th street
ReplyDeletewill the park also close when smac closes?
there is a great mac & cheese place two blocks south of macy's on 7th avenue
ReplyDeleteso much better than smac
oh well, at least they're local
@Blue Glass: If you think of the name of the place please post it, I work around there and would like to try it.

ReplyDeletei'll find the menu that i took home
they deliver down here if you spend enough
i don't go to macy's often
it's an unattractive fast food looking place, with lots of red and yellow and plastic seats
but great mac & cheese
i'll find the menu tomorrow
marty - here it is

i sure hope they are still there - i crave their caramelized onions, gruyere and applewood smoked bacon - bacon added to their "French Onion"
yum
i guess a trip is soon for me
@blue glass: Anonymous 9:14 AM found it, I'll check it out this week. Thanks to both of you, I'll check them out this week!
ReplyDeleteHmmm....gimmick food or real food? I love mac & cheese, one of my favorite foods, but I ate at S'mac once not long after they opened and while I liked it OK I haven't bothered to go back (and I live almost around the corner). On the other hand, year-in year-out I have been going to Veselka for over 30 years. The difference is that they have a real menu with real food, not a 1-trick pony gimmick.
ReplyDeletesmac is comfort food for the frat bros and sorority sisters. Say what you want about veselka, at least it's authentic NYC food and not imported from suburbia.

ReplyDeletethat was me
gusss i forgot to sign my comment
enjoy
@AC: Ooh, now there's a cheesy stereotype!
ReplyDeleteI like s'mac enough, but it is kind of strange to give a vendor with such a limited menu this prime location. I would think that something a little more broad would be more appropriate.
ReplyDelete@blue glass: Thanks, I'll check it out, I love mac and cheese!
ReplyDelete@AC: You think mac and cheese is not authentic NYC food? Well, tell it to every soul food restaurant in Harlem where mac and cheese is a staple. And it's not about Veselka vs. S'MAC, unless I have facts wrong, Veselka is simply moving out and S'MAC is taking the space. What's so funny about cheese, love and understanding? Long live Veselka and S'MAC!
Re: Supermac discussion in this thread (on 7th Ave b/wn 29th/30th), it's closed, it's now a vegetarian something or other (i work a block away).
ReplyDeleteI'll miss the Veselka kiosk - nice place to pick up a coffee.
I agree, that's a strange vendor to put there.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with the above commenter "smac is comfort food for the frat bros and sorority sisters. Say what you want about veselka, at least it's authentic NYC food and not imported from suburbia."
It's a subtlety only noticed by minds like us.
Oh man... now I've seen it all. "True native NY cred" has now been applied to... food? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteYou really need a better cause, "bro"!
The only thing funnier post than that is this one:
"It's a subtlety only noticed by minds like us."
Ahhhhhh....... I'm outta breath I can't laugh any more! You guys need a TV show. Really! I am *not* kidding!
It's be like Archie Bunker in the EV, railing against mac 'n cheese. Ratings gold!

ReplyDeletethanks for letting posting that supermac is gone from 7th avenu - i was thinking about going there after i posted their address. i sure liked their mac.
i guess i'll have to make my own now since i don't know any other places that make a good mac & cheese at a reasonable price.
i wonder if supermac moved some place else.
