Mike's Noodle House
Let me just emphasize, if you eat here, order, eat, savor, pay your bill, leave a tip, smile and wave to the noodle lady behind the window and leave. Don't sit there and have a philosophical debate while people are waiting in the cold or rain. Small asian restaurant etiquette. Get the wonton and beef brisket noodle dry or wet with the wide egg noodles, rock cod and liver congee, the Chinese broccoli and and order of the donuts for the congee. For the serious eaters, get the liver, kidney, tripe plate and dip it in that ginger soy sauce. Again, this place has tables that can fit 2-4 people. NOT 7,8,9,10. Oh, offer to share that seat next to you before the waiter puts that next person in line there anyway. You'll look cool and have good karma. Eating with strangers is fun. Share the plate of gingered organs.
611 Supreme Creperie
Um so great for happy hour. Half priced crepe with a beer for under $10. Yea! Better than that greasy plate of happy hour fries or the oh so played out hummus plate. (blah.) That being said, I do not care too much for the crepe here. It's all in the batter and I find the batter plastic like and really dry. And yes, it's not Brittany, but really?! The plate is sloppy at best and the fillings seems like they just sling shot it into the crepe before flipping it over. I like the Creperie under the convention center much better. No seating, but who needs it when you're gonna scarf it down in a minute anyway?
Pros: the drinks are awesome, nice atmosphere, great great salads (can't really *#%& a salad can you?) and great happy hour deal. Whatever, take your date there and order a French 75 or two before the crepe comes. They'll taste better.
