I love baseball, passionately. My team is not in the playoffs, and by the time this post goes live, we’ll know who’s in the World Series. But I love watching baseball, and if I can extend the season by watching other teams… well, so be it. And so it was that TC and I headed over to Canz in Astoria to check out the Hooters-wannabe place, enjoy a great happy hour special ($5 apps), and watch the game on one of the many TVs around the sports bar. (And then the game got called on account of rain.) Canz [...]

Another month, another happy hour – this one at Phebe’s. I spent many a happy night at Phebe’s back in the day, hanging out with my Yankees-fan friend, watching baseball games. They have this giant projection screen they use sometimes to show games, though on this night, they didn’t have that out. Oh well. They still have cheap drafts and half price appetizers! The first appetizer to come out: deep fried bacon. There was this weird batter on the bacon and liquid cheese squeezed over the top. I split a piece with Beer Boor and we both agreed that [...]

About a month ago, the master of all things BBQ himself – James from The Eaten Path – asked me if I’d like to join him and some other food folks for lunch at Legends Bar: The Ranger Texas BBQ (hey, you look at that sign and you tell me what the name of the place is!). After trying unsuccessfully one Tuesday afternoon – the bar is open, but the smoker is cleaned on Tuesdays, so no ‘cue – we returned on a Friday to feast. From the outside, Legends looks like any other sports bar in the area might. [...]

Chicky’s on 86

There are a bunch of not-quite-fast-food charbroil grills all around the Upper East Side. Many of these specialize in chicken, done “their way” and served ridiculously cheaply for the amount of bird for the buck. I’ve been passing Chicky’s on 86 for many, many years (I used to live closer), but failed to give them a shot. Until this recent evening, when I went on in and ordered half the menu with a friend for consumption at home. Chicky’s offers a variety of entree choices, but… the name’s Chicky’s. We’re concentrating on chicken, with of course side dishes. The order [...]
