I'll take a peek at the site's source and see if I can figure out what Wordpress is doing wrong. ;) Macs work well enough for snooty graphic designer types and such, I’m sure, but you cannot build a custom gaming Mac, and why bother with Firefox when I only have an issue with a single solitary site in IE?

I can promise you there are no problems with NYCFG.com on Firefox so for the immediate future (i.e. until Wordpress gives me a reason why this keeps happening) my best suggestion is to try Firefox. Here's a link to download it: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ Doc, I had Sarge's Pastrami with KofK last week and it was pretty spectacular. Juicy, fatty, sliced thin and piled very high. As far as "The Bomb" at Sal, Kris & Charlie's, it sounds great. Here's a photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/virtualfrolic/2371915770/ Ratbuddy,

Doc,
I had Sarge’s Pastrami with KofK last week and it was pretty spectacular. Juicy, fatty, sliced thin and piled very high.

As far as “The Bomb” at Sal, Kris & Charlie’s, it sounds great. Here’s a photo:

I'd probably still give Katz's my #1 spot, although as we discussed before, it's a different species. Kensington Deli in Great Neck is also in Ben's Best league, five minutes from my home, and the sandwich guys know me well enough to prepare "the usual" (CB and pastrami, seedless rye, cole slaw, mustard) when they see me walk in the door. Nothing better than that. Me, I gotta try Sarge's. As for cole slaw, I stand with NYC FoodGuy on our unflinching devotion to it. Wriskit, can you cite a better slaw, and free on the table in unlimited quantities? Interested on your evaluation on your return trip. As for Mother's: You want a "Mother's", try the one on Poydras in New Orleans for extraordinary Po Boys and Cajun Food. Almost worth a trip to N.O. just to go there, and if you're there, no excuse not to...

Well, for as long as I can remember, the main page of your site has had a giant (like 6 inch tall) font, making it almost unreadable. Clicking the individual reviews works, and they display properly. Would be great if you could fix that. I'm using Vista Ultimate 64 bit, with the basic IE7. All fully patched, no mods or addons or toolbars or anything. Thanks :) “If you have any ideas for future posts or site improvements, please leave them in the comments section.”

I stand behind my claims about Ben's Best cole slaw, it hit the spot like no other. Just Like Mothers?! What a coincidence. I grew up in Forest Hills (see my AJs Pizza & Knish Nosh review) and we used to frequent Just Like Mother's for their blintzes, particularly the cheese and blueberry. They were great, authentic and fresh. I haven't been there in years, I'm surprised but happy to hear they're still kicking, not much else has remained the same on that stretch other than Family Restaurant, Portofino, and Trade Fair. My recent favorite blintzes are at Veselka in the East Village, they're more crepe like than Just Like Mother's but they come with a great raspberry sauce and they're also fresh and light. wriskit,

This is a great site that I just stumbled on while making reservations for the restaurant weeks orgy. Re Ben's Best, I recall New York Magazine called its pastrami the best in NYC for several years, but that was at least a decade, maybe longer, ago. I've only had their plain pastrami sandwiches which were very good, but not superlative. The cole slaw then was not good. I'll go back for the Sears sandwich and report back. As for potato pancakes and blintzes, I recommend Just Like Mothers, a Polish cuisine place in Forest Hills, 110-60 Queens Blvd, just past Ascan Ave. Both to die for. Their entrees are mostly satisfying comfort food. Avoid the roast duck and chicken in the pot. Hunter's pork chop is a winner. The above post was directed to Dr. D.
