rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author doxy_vote - Benny's Burritos, (113 Greenwich Avenue at Jane Street) makes great burritos. I love the California burritos that are made here, they are huge and overstuffed (a good thing), and have a great flavor. And the veggie burrito is good too. The only...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author doxy_vote - John's Pizzeria, (278 Bleeker Street between 6th and 7th Avenues) has got to be the best pizza in New York City, if not the world! The restaurant has a 1950's pizza parlour feel, with a large mural of the bay of Naples painted over the old wooden high...

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 22:04:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author doxy_vote - The Old Homestead is one of those places in New York that truly amazes me every time I'm there. First off the atmosphere is very old New York. From the old gas lamps hanging overhead (they have been electrified). To the HUGE bison, elk, moose, and...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author doxy_vote - I don't understand what the fuss is about the Bendix Diner. It is always too crowded, and there are lines to get in. Every time I have eaten here I have gotten sick (on three different times over the past eight/nine years). I first went when it...

Budget Computer that's Awesome
