OMFG!!!!! I thought one of my favorite restaurants for quick, cheap, yummy, healthy food in New York City closed. Chickpea is no longer at their St. Marks locations but … drum roll, please … they’ve opened up a newer, bigger, better spot. Last week, everything on the menu was 50% off. On Wednesday night with Rachel, I ordered a homemade pita stuffed with delicious Shawafel (a shawarma and falafel mix), hummus and a bigass bottled water. Total? $4.82. If you live in NYC, definitely check this place out. If you don’t live in New York, tell us where you live and where we can get great, healthy (cheap!) food in YOUR city. Who has the best BBQ in Dallas? Where can I get delicious dessert in Denver? What’s the best place to eat in Florida? Don’t hold back, now. Share your secret gems!! Here’s mine:

for those in good health….. Pinks’s in LA on La Brea and Melrose…..
or Phil’s BBQ in San Diego
and you ain’t in good health….. any Whole Foods market or Trader Joe’s
lamesabassman……. have food … with travel…
pink’s is great but you can’t mention LA without plugging In ‘n Out burger.
here in south beach, charlotte bakery has great empenadas that are filling and cheap (though not exactly healthy).
la sandwicherie is great since they sell good fresh sandwiches and salads (imagine subway it they didn’t suck) they do have healthier options. they’re also open really late if you have to post-club munchies.
ah… yes…. In ‘n’ Out….. but ya wanta go deep on that tip…. step out of the box
order off the menu…… go to their webbie and check out what they don’t tell when
you are standing on the line……but…. South Beach….. now that’s serious crunch..
lamesabassman…… last week in Atlantis….. next stop.. Cali….. home…..
Okie Dokie….
Can’t tell you who has the best BBQ in Dallas but the best Sushi is in a mom/pop type of Sushi Place in The Colony. It is a franchised Jopango but the owners are this cute little married couple. They have my order memorized (the only thing they ask: wine or tea). I love it!!!!!
Also best Mexican food would be Angelina’s for their table side Guacamole!!!! YUMMY!!!
lameassman… i know all about the ‘secret’ menu. gotta love the animal style. especially if you get the fries that way. yum.
lamesabassman and dan-E: I was responding to a bunch of different comments at the same time, and I thought I was still on my oral sex post. I was like, “The animal?!? Have you both gone mad?!?!?!?”
lamesabassman: Is Pink’s new? I’d never heard of it until I saw J Brotherlove’s pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brotherlove/2715599151/. By the way, are you all reading his blog? He’s great. Here’s the link: http://www.thebrotherlove.com/.
dan-E: Oooooh, I remember In ‘n Out burger!!! :) Ah, Florida. I haven’t been to Miami in years! Desiree (www.baserinstinct.com, NSFW), Rachel (www.lustylady.blogspot.com), Stacy and I were possibly gonna take a trip down there at the end of the summer. When we looked up flights, they were more expensive than we expected, so we scratched that idea. Never heard of “la sandwicherie” but it sounds tasty!
@ Felicia: I LOVE it when people remember what I order!!! :) The waiter at my favorite brunch place knows I like Steak and Eggs (with scrambled egg whites, whole wheat toast and the meat medium well) with a mimosa. Even if I don’t go there for months, he remembers that!! BTW, the places you mention sound delicious!
ya mean ya don’t know about THE Oral Sex position known as ” the animal ” Mr.D…
kindly explain the movement to Ms. FBC…… if she can handle it…. smile.
lamesabassman…… them who tell,dont know and them who know wont tell….
