Hi folks! Â Thanks for my little indulgence last week. Â Isabel is still not walking--for me anyway (which is fine; it just means she stays a baby a little bit longer).
Ok, turning to the topic at hand, here are the results of your recommendations of places to order in or take out in the Slope. Â The criteria were quick, relatively healthy and relatively cheap. Â Â Â Thanks so much for your feedback--we've got a great range here:
1)Â Purbird. Â Purbird was far and away the most frequently recommended. Â Apparently, the place to go for chicken. Â www.purbird.com/Home_Page.html.
2)  La Villa  / Peppinos.  A lot of recommendations for La Villa too.  I was kind of surprised at this, because it's good, but I wouldn't say it's cheap.  Their calzones, however, can seriously feed three.  www.lavillapizza.com/menu.html Peppino's also recommended for big portions and good food.  Solid yelp reviews.  www.ilovepeppinos.com
3) Â Shin Ju. Â No one wrote in to recommend this (really??), but I'm sliding it in because a) $1.00 sushi and $2.50 rolls; and b) your order is delivered before you can even hang up the phone. Â (Ok, not quite, but close--like 15 minutes.) Â Eel/avocado rolls and shrimp/avocado rolls = good starter sushi for kids. Â www.yelp.com/biz/shinju-ii-brooklyn
4) Â Michael & Pings for Chinese. Â I've definitely been lacking a favorite chinese place in the Slope; never tried M&P, but apparently, it's good and not greasy. Â www.michaelandpings.com
5) Oaxaca Tacos. Â Looks great (But RIP Uncle Moe's.) Â www.oaxacatacos.com/menu.html
5) Press 195 for sandwiches. Â Never heard of it before a reader recommended it, but the yelp reviews are superlative. Â www.press195.com
6) 'Snice / Dao Palate for vegan.  'Snice is cafe food (sandwiches, salads); Dao Palate Thai.  Another vegan rec was Pizza Plus, since they offer vegan pizza, but I have to say, their delivery time is egregiously long--certainly not a place to order from when you need food on the table quickly.   www.menupages.com/restaurants/snice and http://daopalatevegan.com/
Great...now it's 11 at night and I'm hungry.
Ok, more next week. Â As always, if you have any suggestions for ways to make it through the week--or if you want to guest-write some of these weekly emails--please let me know!!
Best,
Amarah
