Actually not. That is the true purpose of this thread - it's just a shame that it has a tendency to get derailed. :P

Okay, here goes. :)

If you like caramel, check out Yismach Yisroel ice cream store in the Capitol Motel building (entrance on right side, 7th street between Madison and Clifton). They have a really good Caramel Coolada (though recently I feel like they've been putting in a little less caramel flavor than they used to). It's not actually advertised on any of the signs IIRC, but you can have them make it into a "Creamolada" - you fill the cup 3/4 with Caramel Coolada, then give it to them to use the milkshake machine to blend in ice cream, cocoa, and cinnamon. Delicious!

How'd I do? ;)

Glatt Bite makes fantastic deli sandwiches. I highly recommend cold pastrami on a baguette, with Russian dressing, fried onions, and coleslaw in it.

Their sesame chicken is also fantastic IMHO, and if you like hot stuff, go for their hot poppers or wings (in that order).

Bagel Nosh has the usual selection of bagels, plus some really good cake-style donuts. I highly recommend the chocolate cake-style donuts with chocolate frosting colored sprinkles on top. I wasn't so impressed with their pancakes. They also have an estimated 14,362 different types of coffee to choose from, both hot and cold.

Circa (on Cedar Bridge) is an upscale pizza shop, with lots of other dairy dishes to choose from as well. They also have a decent hard ice cream selection IIRC, as well as decent sushi.

The pizza shop in Westgate (I think its called Pizza Place) has good food and is perhaps not as fancy as Circa, but they sure can be when they want to - one of my sheva brachos was there, and you'd never guess you were in a pizza shop. I liked their salmon teriyaki.

Okay, I believe I am done filling this thread with useful information for now. Someone else can take a turn. :)

IMHO it depends what you order a chicken sandwich (schnitzel or the like) they are good and not that hard on the stomach. Other stuff they make I can understand where you are coming from IMO
