Conway Diner

80 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003

2025-03

Just opened. A billion 5 star reviews on google. All from accounts with only a few reviews.

I take the bait.

Terrible. Probably one of the worse meals I've had. Calamari that was like fried rubber bands. Burger that smelled like rotten meat, and tasted like it as well.

Rating - bad


Streecha

Really interesting place under a Ukrainian church or something. It's in the basement behind a door with essentially no signage. You would never know it's there.

Saying this, I hated the food.

I got the pierogi and some beef patty or crepe thing and I couldn't finish either one. If that wasn't bad enough, I immediately had to run back to my apartment right after finishing to make my own beef patty explosion on the turlet.

Brutal.

Passed by this place one night and thought it looked interesting. It had a few people inside. I had never noticed it before. Turns out they had just opened a few days(?) before, so that's why.

I was hungry. Just ate a gross sesame ball, and needed something to wash away the bad taste.

Get a regular slice and a coke.

Blown away. Maybe it's because of how hungry I was, or because I had no expectations. Cheese heavy (good), thin crispy crust, nice sauce. Guy with glasses behind the counter asked me how it was. Seems like it's just two lads running the show.

Went back a few weeks later for lunch. Very busy. Big line. Very different from the first time I was there. Got the white slice this time. It was alright. The regular slice wasn't as good either. Not sure if the quality dropped because they were busy.

Go back a few weeks/months later to do a check up. Line out the door. No more slices, only pies. Walked away. Wild.

Rating - excellent (when they first opened, not sure now)

They have a sign out front that says "Best burger in NYC!" or something like that.

It sucked. Get a new sign ya jabroni.

This one didn't seem as good as the one on Roosevelt in Jackson Heights.

Still pretty good.

Librae Bakery

Got the magic pistachio rose croissant. Almost $10 bucks a pop.

Gonna be honest, I didn't like it.

I've been back here a few times though, everything else is pretty good.

Rating - good

El Diablito Taqueria

Nice people working here.

First few times I went here, it was good. If you eat there you get free tortilla chips.

Don't know what happened after the first few times, but it got not great after that.

Rating - hit or miss


Downtown Burritos

This place blows.

Got a burrito. Big slop pile in a tin plate. Some areas of the burrito were cold, others hot.

Rating - no bueno
