Chris Dugan: Great selection of local meat and poultry!
Compass: Locally sourced organic beef, lamb, pork, goat and poultry are all sold at Dickson’s. Regulars get a punch card that lets you get deals once you’ve bought an entire pig or cow.

Michael Kauffman: A New York City classic. Everyone loves Jimmy. Order corned beef, prime rib, lamb chops, rice pudding, and a few ice-cold martinis. Wear the Giants Super Bowl ring. Cherish the moment.
Kathy McGilvery: The best lamb chops, by far, in New York City!
Harvey Glover: Great Liver and bacon but why change extra for onions? $5 for a side of spinach is a bit excessive as well. However, this is the best (Irish) Sunday night comfort food on the way over east side.

Ian McGrady: French Onion Soup tastes deliciously tangy with what-I-believe-to-be the right combination of cheeses. I normally don't like strawberry milkshakes, either, but theirs was tasty.
Brian Butler: Marvelous wonderettes
Cameron Gidari: I love that they support small and independent theatre, but I wish they had better AC. It was sweltering in the 4th-floor theater.

William H: The food is incredible--combos are an especially good deal--but the place has negative ambiance and is unbelievably stingy with the injera.
