[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

I’d like to add Resto to this list. It doesn’t get enough play.
