Never eat in Midtown, that's all crap chains and that nonsense. Chinatown up by the Bowery has some very good Chinese joints, authentic Chinese not American Chinese.
Frazer's is great. I love the Scottish Arms. We have been talking about going to Peacemaker for a couple of weeks now. The week of Christmas we tried to call ahead and the wait was 3 hours. We had to bail because we had family from out of town with us.goon attack wrote:F Keenan:
If you want a great meal, hit Frazer's or 1111 Mississippi.
If you want whatever, there are plenty of joints near the arena for grub.
There's also a new Lobster house down on Sidney that has lines out the door every night called Peacemaker.
If you want killer BBQ, Sugarfire does shred, but Pappy's Smokehouse is much closer.
Scottish Arms has decent grub. And allegedly the Yankees in the 40's who were in town for the World Series came in there every night they were in town.
The haggis is good. Tons of scotch too.
You can also party in Soulard before the game and shuttle over to the arena. Hit Molly's.
The rooftop 360 bar atop the Hilton is cool too. I'd at least go up there to see the view. I've never eaten there though. Great view of the shity.

That's just kinda how it is. I haven't been to Pappy's in forever, but when I went I usually avoided peak hours or called in a to-go order. That line gets long.ViPeRx007 wrote:I'll also vouch for Pappy's Smokehouse. Place is bomb-diggity. Just be prepared to wait a while before you get in; it was a good 1hr+ wait when I went there. Coming from a smaller town though where there's usually no more than 15-20 minute waits at restaurants, if any at all, it seemed extra long. Maybe there was something going on or I just went at the worst possible time, I don't know. I'd do it again though, for sure.
We almost always call in our order to Pappy's. I did it Sunday and I got to skip the line. Me and a buddy of mine tore through two slabs of ribs before the first quarter of the Colts game was over.cardsfan04 wrote:That's just kinda how it is.
