Lizzy Saxe: Zaragoza serves a lot more than great burritos. Try the unconventional quesadillas- more like pupusas, and totally delicious. The sopes are also great and their daily specials are excellent.
Lizzy Saxe: The falafel is definitely the best in the neighborhood, and the shawarma is great too, but my favorite thing is actually the perfectly balanced mint lemonade.
Lizzy Saxe: BAGELS. They do overdo the cream cheese some, but they're cheap and they have a ton of flavors. The pumpernickel with peanut butter or everything with lox spread and cucumber are great choices.
Lizzy Saxe: Best pho I've had in NYC. If you're from the West Coast like me, the broth will disappoint you, but the meat is amazing. They put it in raw. Get the #1, even if they tell you you want #8.
Lizzy Saxe: Best soba I've ever had. They also give you a little flame to keep your broth hot, and when you make a soup at the end everything is warm and delicious.
