Guss’ Pickles Relocating to Brooklyn
After 85 years on the Lower East Side, Guss’ Pickles is making a move. Grub Street reports: “We called Roger Janin, who has operated the stand along with his mother, Pat Fairhurst, since 2004, and he confirmed that in about four months, he’ll reopen in the Borough Park area, at 39th Street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth Avenues. The reason has nothing to do with a greedy landlord — it’s simply that fewer old-timers are coming and business has dropped off, even during the Jewish holidays.”

“The papadum was perfect… The chicken in the kebabs were a bit dry but the flavor of the marinade was good. The jalfrezi was a mix of pepper, potato, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini. The vegetables still had some snap and the sauce was good with some heat,” writes Hawthorne Street, after visiting King of Tandoor on opening day. Service is reportedly slow, as this new kitchen works out the kinks, but all food is 25% off through Friday, to celebrate their opening week.

“There’s too much talk about burgers these days, but the one at Prime Meats deserves air time. Prime’s burger is a thick, juicy patty topped with Gruyere, housemade pickles and a horseradish-onion bun. There are some remarkable salads on the menu, like a Bibb lettuce salad dressed in pumpkinseed oil and a bacon-blessed farm salad… Don’t miss the spaetzles – bowls filled with pudgy squiggles flavored with fresh herbs, mushrooms or Gruyere.” [NY Daily News]
