Marilyn Haggerty reviews Shake Shack: “the meat was slightly better than Burger King”
I hate clean, orderly countries where everything works. I like hot, messy, passionate countries that are barely keeping their shit together.

You go to that drawer full of menus with dragons or pandas or bamboo on them, and the random Chinese characters, and the obligatory promise of fast and free delivery. And in 25 minutes or so a Chinese man on a bike will come to your door and you’ll maybe drop him a xie xie with your tip and he’ll give you a bye bye and he’s gone. End of story.
But there’s a different version of that story that goes on in many parts of this city. And that version is about money, class, race, and education. And in that version people are robbed, assaulted and killed, and people live in fear, constantly on guard and under threat over Chinese food.
Made my first trip to the Xi’an Famous Food location in East Village this weekend (I’ve been to the Queens location, courtesy of a Flushing dumpling tour from Jodi Ettenberg) and I can’t stop dreaming about the lamb sandwich.
If you haven’t been, go immediately. You will not regret it. The soup there is amazing as well.
LUCKY PEACH 3 got it?
Beaver Tail take Churros to a whole. nother. level.
Anyplace that refuses to sell you a burger under medium temperature is basically on the side of the terrorists.
