(14,621 posts)68. Finally picked one! :D
Kismet in upper Washington Heights (sometimes known as Hudson Heights) in NYC, Manhattan.
It's been making good North Indian food (with a bit of regional fare, I think) for over 20 years now!
It's just one neighborhood away from me, and it has an all you can eat Sunday Brunch Buffet! Well maaybe not that particular offering for the moment- but we will get a vaccine. Yes! I'm hoping to stop there this Sunday for take out, or Monday at last after my first visit finally to a park (Ft Tryon) this year!
Should that fold I'd then go to
Amy Ruths. 2619. $$Southern, Soul Food. (212) 280-8779. 113 W 116th St. Harlem.
Serving wonderful Soul Food for years now! Fried Chicken, Corn Bread, a thick crunchy topped Mac & Cheese. Then I think I vary the 2nd side.
Since I love Chinese Spare Ribs - I stick w the fried chicken bc it's some thing I wouldn't cook myself. I'm happy to pay someone else to do the work!
Hopefully it will make it through covid19, and I'll be there by next Late Spring 2021. Happy Thoughts!

We used to do one pricey dinner out every year. We did go to Le Bernardin. Not memorable...

I'd choose Nepenthe in Big Sur, but then I'd have to go to California all the time...

Especially because I don't do chain restaurants. And there's no place close by that's that good.
