There's one model of great egg sandwiches, not unlike one model of a great hamburger, that has totally melted cheese (there's nothing wrong with American), soft, fluffy eggs (if they're scrambled), and a squishy bun that's soft enough so nothing spills out when you bite it.

Photo: NYT Wow. The NYT Diner's Journal blog took famed British chef Heston Blumenthal to Shopsin's—and escaped unscathed, with full bellies, no food thrown at them, and no coffee "accidentally" spilled on their offending camera. What did Blumenthal order? "A...

So much for fall. In New York, it feels like we've gone from shorts to winter coats in just a few days. But fortunately, there are plenty of rainy-day eats to warm you up. Ten of our favorite comfort...

[Photo: Robyn Lee] The greatest thing about Shopsin's—well, one of the six or seven greatest things about Shopsin's—is that no matter how many times you return, there's always something you haven't yet attempted on their constantly revised tome of...
