I *think* our waiter was just trying to be funny, but he was really just an ass. He made mistakes with 3 orders and when we asked him a question he would just walk away to go get the menu to explain the answer. Not good. The food was very eh. It’s supposed to be a greek restuarant, but more than half of the menu was filled with parmegianas and francais’s. heh? Our waiter pretty strongly advised us not to bother with anything aside from the fish. The fish was fresh but flavorless. The sides were kind of like airplane food. The menus in this place are also really weird. You get a regular menu, a prix fix menu and a specials of the day menu. You have to keep cross referencing all three of them to make any sense of it. What the crap is up with that? The best part by far, and really the only part worth mentioning, were the profiteroles. They were excellent. There are about 50 other places within a 10 block radius of this one that I’d have much rather gone to. Ya win some ya lose some.

YAY! Now we’re talking. I ordered delivery a few nights ago and was thrilled to receive my delicious roasted vegetable pizza. This is kind of like nicks or totonnos style…thin crust, real mozzerella, thinly sliced and roasted eggplant, zucchini and a couple of other veggies. So So SO tasty. really tasted like there was care put into the whole process. I don’t know how I managed to wait this long (3 years!) living in this neighborhood before trying it. Fantastic…will definitely go on my ‘hot’ list for delivery.

sadly, I’ve ordered twice more hoping for the same experience but wasn’t nearly as impressed. The second time was way too salty but giving them the benefit of the doubt, I decided to give them one more try…The 3rd time, the roasted vegetables were cut into too thick, small pieces instead of the long, paper thin pieces that made that first pie so awesome. What do you think? Should I give them one more try?

Really not too shabby for a bagel chain. They are reliable and the food is always fresh. The bonus is that they carry Munchee cheese. Not muenster, munchee, the sweeter creamier cousin of muenster. I adore it, and it can be kind of tough to find.
The one thing I hate is that they tend to get a little creative with the pricing. It seems like I could go in on 10 different occasions, order the same thing every time, and get charged something completely different each time. Pretty annoying. Oh, and their rainbow cakes (something which I consider myself a connoiseur of) are pretty bad.

I have grown fonder and fonder of pick a bagel. I LOVE the whole wheat flat bagel toasted with baked salmon salad and go back almost weekly for it. The one on lex by the subway is TOTALLY not as good as this one

>This is one of my “go-to” delivery spots..I can’t believe it took me this long to write a review! The staff is very polite and good about mentioning substitutions etc. The food is AMAZING. Some of the best falafel I’ve ever had and the pita is seriously like bits of heaven. Fluffy, light and SO filling. I love the tzatiki sauce- and am often appaled to find other middle eastern places that don’t offer it. The grilled chicken and veggies is also great- a platter that you will easily get 2 or 3 meals out of..I always order extra pitas to accompany tomorrow night’s leftover dinner. Also worth a try, the frothy lemonade..really tart and refreshing on a hot day. Oh, ok, I get it in the winter too 🙂 The sides are slighty too salty for my taste (but I tend to like a lot less salt than most people)  but everything is always fresh and seems to be a pretty healthy choice. I think their business would be increased 10 fold if the interior was a bit nicer and more welcoming..It’s really more like a food stand and not really worth staying to sit at one of 3 plastic tables…It ‘s very nice that it’s a block away from my house so it’s just as easy to go home to eat. If you’re nice to me (and you buy me something), you can come over to eat here too.

I just want to add that I REALLY wish they’d add a small size for the lemonade. As much as I love it, I never get it because it’s just way too expensive. $4.50! If I could pay half as much for a small, I’d be in there all the time! If I want to spend that much for something cool and refreshing, I’d rather go around the corner to Sedutto for a fro yo.

Follow up:
YES! Ask and you shall receive! I realized that when I wrote that last addendum about not having a small lemonade size that I should at *least* talk to them about it to see if they’d accommodate my request and lo and behold, with a big smile, they DID!!! So, now whenever I want a little delicious frothy tart drink I can go in and get an 8 ounce one for $2.75. This makes me a happy lemonade drinker for sure, and gives me even more reason to yelp about how AWESOME Pyramida is!!! YAHOOOO for Pyramida!

Follow up: WONDERFUL news! I stopped in today to say hi and to tell them about my review of their place on here..and I got SUCH awesome news…In 2 short weeks they will be moving and having a grand opening at their newer/bigger/better location! Wooohooo! It will be moving to 1402 second ave (the corner of 2nd and 73rd) and will be known as Pyramida Grill. The best part? They will have seating for 30! YES! Here’s for continued success to Matthew and the rest of the gang at Pyramida.

WOW! YES!!!! So fantastic! I had the vegetal tacos (with fingerling potatoes, oyster mushrooms, radishes etc), a grapefruit aqua fresca (SO GOOD!) and it certainly didn’t hurt that the (very attractive and personal/friendly) owner said my chocolate caliente was on him. I drank my yummy hot chocolate on a frigid walk back home and it was so incredible that I almost turned around to get another one to bring to a chocolate loving friend. I didn’t b/c I was running late, but will certainly bring said friend there soon to enjoy the creamy, rich, complex, spicy flavor. This is an AWESOME addition to a neighborhood that really needed a great taco place. I will definitely be going back sooner than later…There’s a LOT on the menu that I want to try. Fresh, funky and fabulous. BRAVO.

UPDATE: Summer 2011: I have to say, this place has gone WAYYYYY downhill since it opened. Lately, the service sucks, the drinks hardly have any alcohol in them (especially for the price) and the tacos are only so so. Not only that, but they’ve started charging if you run out of chips and want more…and they don’t bother telling you that when you ask! They should have stayed tiny!

I had a great date here last week. We got seated right away even though it looked pack upon our arrival. Chips were good and fresh, salsa was eh. Guac was quite good and had an unusual herb in it- not cilantro..maybe basil?? The waitress was unsure of what it was which was a little odd. I had the artichoke quesadillas which were the perfect portion size since I wasn’t starving. Lovely delicate flavor, and very fresh tasting. I also had a mojito- which was VERY good but VERY strong…Most people would probably love that, but for me, it meant I could only handle about 3/4 of it before cutting myself off. The atmosphere is cute- maybe slightly on the tacky side, though the maraca light fixtures are adorable and festive. The waitress was friendly and attentive, but not at all overbearing (which is one of my least favorite problems with service in a lot of the UES restaurants) I’ll go back for sure- probably more fun with a big rowdy group than a romantic date. It was nice that they let us linger in peace- and they did give us a relatively quiet table in the corner. I was surprised to find out that it’s the same owners as the Vinyl that it replaced..No comparison between the 2 food quality wise- this is FAR better and a welcome addition to the UES.

My amazing fabulous diva Grandma and I were the only people eating lunch here today aside from Kyra Sedgwick and her Grandma. So, that was already pretty cool. The food here was too good for my vocabulary to do it justice. We shared a lovely salad to begin along with the breadsticks/bread/olives that were set out for us. I had the fig and beet ravioli which was by FAR the best ravioli I’ve ever had. The portion sizes were perfect and beautifully presented. The service was impeccable. For dessert we shared “all about chocolate” which was exactly what you’d expect. Little did we know, they also brought out adorable little pastries on the house- had we known that we probably would have skipped the chocolate dessert. We are BIG sweets eaters and couldn’t make a dent in the spread left for us. All in all, this was one of my favorite dining experiences to date and I would love to go back sometime soon! It is, however, rather pricey- as to be expected with quality and service like this- but definitely worth a special occasion splurge if you’ve got the money (or a diva Grandma who does 🙂 Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Are you feeling a little under the weather? Does your Grandma have other things going on in her life where maybe a call from you sniffling doesn’t send her right into make-you-some-homemade-chicken-soup mode? If so, you will be as thankful as I am for PJ Bernsteins and delivery. You too can have homemade chicken soup at your door in just a few minutes and you’ll start to feel better immediately. Aaaachooo!

I can eat my weight in sushi. No seriously, for someone who stands 5’2″ tall and weighs just slightly more than my dog, I can put away a ridiculous amount of raw fish. I could eat it every day and still not get sick of it. If you look at my delivery order history, you might think I am trying to prove those facts to someone. My favorite place to order from is Sushi Suki. Not only are they crazy fast and perfectly accurate every time, the sushi is beautifully prepared, fresh and delicious consistently. Try it!

I get delivery frequently from Gobo- one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in the city. I am not a vegetarian, but I do enjoy tasty, creative foods and that’s what you’ll find here. I’m totally and completely addicted to the black soymilk bubble tea. And to the shitake caps. And the lettuce wraps. And the new england rolls. And the spinach dumplings thingos. Yum. It’s all such great food..Invite your veggie friends to go with you. They will be very impressed, I promise!
