my commute is terrible so let’s play a game! NYC pals: what are your favorite places to eat/drink in the city?

not the *best* or the trendiest or your favorite lately, the spots you just love & feel like home. the dive near your first apt, your fav halal guy, this kinda thing
mine are, as i was mentioning last night, Big Bar - it's just a tiny little spot in the East Village that feels like a friend's house and the bartenders are all universally the nicest people ever. udon west for dirt cheap, somewhat questionable noodles & tekka don.
RIP to lomzynianka, which felt like your weird polish grandma's living room: dirt cheap pierogi on styrofoam plates, plastic tablecloths, BYOB - it was great. RIP also to Daddy's, my old wburg dive. Milon is my fav of the "overload of xmas lights" cramped indian places on 1st ave
i also have a soft spot for cafe gitane—when i was like 22 and broke as hell it felt so ~*~sophisticated to have a glass of wine & a salad there. RIP also to the Pink Pony, Motor City, and that whole stretch of the LES that used to feel like home and now is completely alien
