doc: the vibe is cool. Victory is more casual than Waterzooi - a little bit younger maybe, and they have several tv’s in the bar/lounge. However, it’s not a dark/dingy/budlight sportsbar scene. I don’t think...

After reading the review in the Advance of this new Indian/Sri Lankan restaurant on Victory Boulevard near the Albanian mosque, we rushed right over and sure enough had a great meal. In particular, the naan was fresh out of the...

I am looking for a nice place to have lunch with a girlfriend in Garden City. Neither one of us is familar with the area. We will be around Stewart Avenue killing a few hours while another friend is having minor surgery. Thanks...

I am moving to Garden City and would love some recommendations for good food, all price ranges. Particularly, some Indian, Asian recs would be appreciated.

Do any of my fellow Chowhounds have a suggestion on where to go for a business lunch in or near Garden City? 2-3 miles in either direction is fine, but not further. Something interesting but not too “out-there” or...

One man’s vision for urban aquaculture involves skyscrapers full of tilapia, but we’ll have to figure out what to feed them.

See where they’re opening new deli next to Bobby V’s in Stamford, replacing the ill conceived Victory. They’re elsewhere in Westchester and Ct. Hows the chow? And how fast the service ... hopefully not at...

Which place are you talking about “W4 or W3, off 6th Avenue ” that has a Belgian Beer Garden? Do you mean Vol de Nuit? I didn’t know they had a garden. Have you been to d.b.a., The Ginger Man, Blind Tiger, or Zum...

I just read that the people behind Waterzooi in Garden City are opening (next door to it) the "Victory Oyster Bar & Smokehouse", with “full seafood bar and an in-house smoker for ribs, brisket, etc.” 28-tap bar with...

5 hungry hounds got together last night at Asian Garden in Chinatown. Barleywine was kind enough to bring a few bottles of his namesake..and they were awesome. Thanks again. There’s an extensive printed menu but most of the...

I agree – Waterzooi and Victory Oyster Bar are the only delicious places in Garden City. Grimaldi’s pizza on Franklin Ave is also ok – but not as much of a restaurant. The town is surprisingly devoid of good...

waterzooi or victory chop house on Franklin ave in garden city.....waterzooi’s a little more sedate in the dining area. waterzooi is belgian, emphasis on mussels and some other seafood dishes. great fries and unreal beer...

Gooseberry, I use a modified version of Marian Morash’s recipe from Victory Garden Cookbook (which is awesome). It’s very very easy. Take about a dozen pickling cukes, or the approximate equivalent amount of full-size...

Victory - corner of Hoyt and State Stan’s Place – Atlantic b/w Bond/Nevins – NO-style cafe and chicory au laits – very tasty Boerum Hill Food Company – Smith b/w Bergen and Dean – good if you...

Yes, it was That Bar briefly. And before that, The Victory Kitchen. I would highly recommend Pier 116 if you’re interested in another hangover. :)
