yes they do...but mayo is one of only maybe 20 or 25 toppings available to you...it's a great place for fries...please try it next time you venture into the city...i doubt you'll be disappointed. :)

Wow 20-25 toppings!!! Did you have a favorite topping? I am writing it down in a notebook I keep in my purse so the next time I'm in the city I'll remember to check it out. It sounds like my kinda place!!! :say_thanx: :D

Time to borrow it. Did you see that my pommes frites question to you inspired a whole discussion.

I found the website for the Pommes Frites eatery in the East Village, NYC that Tu_triky mentioned. It is on 123 2nd Ave ( between 7-8 Street). Here are just a few of their toppings:

"Europeans have been eating their fries with everything but ketchup for many years, and now Americans may also have the best crispy fried potatoes with their choice of sauce. Americans (those who have experienced Pommes Frites) seem to be extremely pleased that fries can be prepared differently and served with a variety of goodies, other than ketchup. For example, you can eat them with exotic mustards and mayonnaise, or drowned in vinegar, curry sauce, or even with a peanut satay sauce. All are for sale at Pommes Frites. The selection of toppings for your frites includes everything from the familiar to the exotic, and is limited only by imagination."

Now I am getting hungry!!!!! :woot:

I love gumbo. I know that I sound like a stereotypical person from Louisiana, but I really do love the stuff. I also like tomato slices with black pepper and little salt sprinkled on them. Not those mushy store bought tomatoes though. I'm talking about these really firm, kind of "meaty" tomatoes that my grandma would raise in har garden. So good :good:.

Never been there krim. Sounds good . We have a few ex-New Yorkers here, huh? Yeah there are some good eats in NYC, that is for sure! :thumbsup:

I don't get to go NYC that often.. Metro North needs to stop with the fare hikes lol.

My Metro Card expires next month.

Yeah I don't get in as much as I like either. LIRR ain't cheap either. Driving in wasn't so bad before the price of gas went up. Lets face it though NYC is fun! And eating there even more fun! :thumbsup:

lol we all should have a NYC meet or something lol, I'd be up for that.

The subway was fun but getting lost on it with my 45LB Suitcase & laptop was NOT fun... I made the last Metro North train out of Grand Central that did all stops, I had about 5 Min to spare.

And not only that being lost on the subway for about 2 hour and having to use the restroom at the same time.

:(

LOL I don't like a girl to see me in that state :hehe:



Btw i'm eating chicken noodle soup.

Seafood gumbo sounds good right now. My wife doesn't like okra, so I would use file if I ever make it for her.

Bingo :thumbsup:. That was my mom's solution to my brothers "anti-okra" issues. I also have a thing for super spicy/hot cajun food :woot:.

hmmm...truthfully it's been so long since i've been in new york i'm hard pressed to remember a particular favorite...but i usually used to go with the standard mayo or a flavored mayo. the fries are quite tasty though...it's the potatoes and the method of frying...it's very light and crispy on the outside while being moist within....okay gotta stop talking about this....it's triggering mad hunger pangs....

I had chinese take out for lunch, garlic eggplant veg's, fried rice, chow mein, chicken with tofu, a two item combo w/friedrice/chowmein for $4, not bad. Also had Boba drink.

@Tu_triky, nice sig of Kou Shibasaki. :thumbsup:

new york dusts the rest of the country when it comes to places to eat...there is no competition.....a league all its own. only other placed that topped it in my mind was tokyo....for sheer variety and quality.
