[Life: List’d] French! Fries! As anyone who has dined with me knows, pomme frites are my utter and total weakness. I could/would/do eat them anytime, anyplace, on any occasion. Brunch? Why not! 2 a.m.? Why not! Hours before a 1/2 marathon? Definitely. I’ve only been a NYer for 3 years and I’m still on the hunt for the BEST FRIES EVER but for now, here are a few of my favorites (and I’d love to know yours as well!) Pommes Frites: belgian style, nationally acclaimed, amazing dipping sauces, open late night Balthazar: crisp french classic, served morning, noon and night Loreley: thin, not too greasy, goes well with German beers JG Melon: cottage fries, somewhat of NY institution Schiller’s (same recipe/owner as Balthazar) Rare Bar & Grill: get a basket of fries with dipping sauces Les Halles: eat with the mussels. YUMM! Taim: super thin, right amount of crunch, super cheap - great with harissa spicy sauce Nice Matin: steak fries, served with mayo (I pass on the mayo, but I know many love) Shake Shack: because you can’t eat a double stack without fries Spotted Pig: Shoestring delights! Some hate the shoestring but I love it Union Square Cafe: another famous little fry, crisp, good texture, not too greasy Telepan: a late night carefully crafted foodie favorite Artisanal: classically french, completely delicious Cafe de Bruxelles: belgian crisp delights! just the right amount of salt Pastis: see Balthazar Bar Boulud: If they’re good enough for Daniel… Shopsin’s: go for the cheesy ones, you won’t regret it Five Guys: steak style, super thick, good amount of crunch, loads of salt
