Sunrise/Sunset
Cafe · Bushwick
"Sausage egg and cheese from Sunrise/Sunset plus a coffee. They put it on a bun. I don’t usually have sausage, egg, and cheeses on buns, so that’s kind of nice. A lot of people are asking me about this. I go there every now and then, it’s a little far."
Sol Sips
Cafe · Bushwick
"Chicken biscuits and cheese bread from Sol Sips, plus beers. You don’t want to be a lightweight. I care about that a lot. I’m always telling Jeremy you’ve gotta get your drinking up, because when you go to the frat after that they’re just going to make fun of you."
Taqueria Santa Fe
Mexican restaurant · Bushwick
"I got a quesadilla and chips from Taqueria Santa Fe. Inauguration mode. Also, more beers."
Zen Vegetarian House
Chinese restaurant · Flatbush
"Late dinner. Edamame, sweet-and-sour vegan chicken, and a slice of carrot cake from Zen. First, people would call avocado a superfood, then kale became a superfood, and this year it’s vegan carrot cake. The frosting is in the shape of a carrot."
Hartbreakers
Permanently Closed
"For lunch, I had fake-meat chicken tenders and waffle fries from Hartbreakers. I think “waffle” is the best shape for fries. That’s what I’ve always said. I’m very militant about it. I get very mad if someone brings up a curly or a shoestring. If you’re around me, you don’t bring up that kind of divisive talk. It’s just uncivil."
Good Taste Chinese Food
Chinese restaurant · Crown Heights
"I had General Tso’s tofu and vegetable rolls from Good Taste. This is the Chinese takeout a block away from me in Crown Heights, I go here all the time and this is my usual order. I love it. There was a shot of Good Taste’s awning in How to With John Wilson and I was eating Good Taste as I watched the episode. It was awesome. It was takeout Inception."
Knickerbocker Bagel
Bagel shop · Bushwick
"Everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese from Knickerbocker Bagel. Also a coffee. I threw a bagel in the mix here so people know I’m a New Yorker."
Ojala Comida Mexicana
Permanently Closed
"Later, I got half a chicken burrito and half a tofu torta, plus chips and guac, from Ojalá Mexican. I’ve never gone to this place before. But they have the tofu torta, which is just something I had to try. Again, it’s unifying the torta and the burrito."
Chez Alex
Coffee shop · Bedford-Stuyvesant
"Turkey-and-seitan sandwich from a cafe called Chez Alex in Bed-Stuy. I like a good turkey sandwich. This is the first time I’ve had turkey and seitan. It had some chipotle mayo on it, which was also good."
