New apartment had some nasty friends already living here. The management sent some help. Here is a dead one we found afterwards.
With an impending move, I thought I’d take a few moments to chronicle some of the best eats on the Upper West Side.
My favorite sushi was Suma Sushi between 107th and 108th Street on Amsterdam Ave. Fuji Sushi on 56th Street between Broadway and 8th Ave is a very very close runner up. Which ever is closer is the decider here.
There are two great Mexican Restaurants on the UWS. Taqueria y Fonda between 107 and 108th wins on best entrées and delivery service. Highly recommend all their chicken entrées: Chicken Pipian, Chicken Chile Verde, Chicken Chile Aho, Chicken Mole. All of em.
Mama Mexico is a great Mexican Restaurant in a different way. I always have a lot of fun in their atmosphere, and their alcoholic drinks are particularly tasty. Be sure to spend the money to get fresh made guacamole (they make it right in front of you). The actual entrées I don’t find particularly compelling; they are the one boring part in a great night.
My favorite fancy Indian place is Indus valley, on the corner of 100th Street and Broadway. I have yet to find a Chicken Vindaloo to rival theirs. Great dishes all around. The one quirk they have here is that they spoon the food onto your plates when they bring you the food. This is exacerbated if you’re eating with a group of friends. But the food is worth it. Great naan and palak paneer, too.
For great rotisserie chicken, get delivery from Chirping Chicken. I really like their delivery service. Great delivery ribs. Also recommended is their lamb gyro platter, which comes with a nice tzatziki sauce, with fries, rice, and a big salad. Honorable mention for the arroz con pollo.
My favorite Chinese place is Sichuan Gourmet on 39th Street between 5th and 6th Aves. I know this isn’t UWS, but the food is exceptional. Best Ma Po Do Fu in town.
Wild card! My favorite Haitian restaurant was Krik Krak on Amsterdam Ave between 101st and 102nd street. Tasty although slow. Poulet Maison takes the slight lead in their dishes.

Aðísla the Noble. My current World of Warcraft character after the Noble Garden festival. This photo of her turned out quite good.
NYFD for the win.
