Brian: Try the Linguine Nere Arrabiate (black linguine, crab meat, shrimp, tomato sauce). One of the best pastas I've ever had. It's a Thursday night special, but they might make it if you ask (no promises).
Brian: Go to any shake shack other than the one at 23rd street. The line at that one is way too long. Anywhere else, the wait is 10 mins tops. This particular one has a nice outdoor seating area.
Brian: Double cooked pork belly with chilli leeks is my go-to item here. Fatty pork, spicy chill, and sweet/oniony leeks over white rice makes my mouth water.
