PrintWeek in Reviews: Best Bites
- The many-meat lasagna at Union Square Café "did a deft, unusual seesaw between heartiness and delicacy." [Bruni; NYT]
- At Mimi’s Hummus in Ditmas Park, the title dish is "thick and rich, glossed with oil, scattered with parsley, and served with a basket of hot, puffy pitas." [Raisfeld & Patronite; NYM]
- At DBGB, Boulud’s "first adventure in slumming," the matzo-ball soup is "good enough to put Katz’s Deli on notice." [Byock; New Yorker]
- Fried cucumbers at Brooklyn Star, which Richman hadn't known existed, "turned out to be wonderfully crisp and tart." [Richman; GQ]
- Cuozzo finds that lot still "leaks" at Harbour, where the best dishes are the "miniscule" starters—"best viewed under a microscope." [Cuozzo; NYP]
- "The ’80s are back with a vengeance" at Sho Shaun Hergatt. Though the menu seems dated, there are real strong points: a "silky truffled-celeriac puree flawlessly ices butter-poached halibut." [Cheshes; TONY]

except Katz's Matzoh Ball soup is disgusting. if they had said 2nd avenue's matzoh ball soup, then we could talk. but Katz's? gross... even russ and daughters has better matzoh ball soup than Katz's, and they are a smoked fish shop!
