New York, New York...
So there is nothing about this place that actually screams New York, apart from the mural of the Statue of Liberty against the wall, but New Yorker gets a round of applause for a good effort at trying to recreate some otherwise hard-to-find cuisines anywhere in India. Their staple/USP seems to be Mexican, as most every table had a plate of enchiladas on them. I unfortunately was in no form ready to gobble up a plate of heavy, cheesy enchiladas, but I must say, they did look as authentic as I've seen in Bombay. The place seems to be a 50/50 mix of family outings and gossipy college students.
Our table's meal consisted of a make-it-yourself pasta dish (penne with tomato sauce and some vegetables); an amritsari channa with kulcha (something like that); spicy hummus with pita (my dish); and mexican pasta salad (waaah? when did Italy and Mexico cross paths?). The pasta, I was told, tasted a bit "desi", if you will, but was otherwise enjoyable. The channa lacked salt and flavor, but the pan-fried whole green mirchi made up for it. No idea on the pasta salad, but the hummus and pita (hard to screw up) was enjoyable.
All in all, we had a good meal here, and it wasn't too hard on the pocket (some 650 odd bucks) either. If ever in this area and you're looking for a good mix of Mexican or Sizzler/wannabe Lebanese type stuff, this is your joint.

First visit after re-opening
New Yorker has long been a staple for most people living in south bombay. although its become more of a kiddie and family hangout it still is a decent place for a bite. The taste isnt authentic but its consistent.
Rest : New Yorker
Meal : Lunch
Date : 21/12/2006
Location :Chowpatty
Experience- Terribly hungry but not in the mood for too much food, we decide to trek to the closes place possible for a quick quick lunch. The place has recently been renovated, seating has increased, the place itself looks like an impossibly high end, chic minimalist restuarant which is completely contrary to the cuisine, crowd and prices. Its also not as comfortable as it should be (not that it ever was a comfortable place)
Drink :Brownie Shake, Water
Food : The first order of things was a nachos with cheese as is their specialty. thing came out in less than 3 mins too. before the drink was there. talk about anticipation. Then we ordered half a portion of enchiladas which werent too bad, they tasted like they used to. the taste hasnt changed so far though the decor has.
At last we ordered the lebanese sizzler (they need more options for this thing) it was a bit of a mish mash, veggies, rice, chick peas topped with baba ganoush, hummus, some felafil, hummus and leabanese sauce (watever THAT is) It took a while to come, which i reckn means they werent anticipating this.
The choc brownie shake, was nice and big, had enougb brownies, but wasnt cold enough and was too heavy on the hersheys.
Rating : Food 7/10, Service 7/10

superb Mexican Food!!!
One of the first places in mumbai to serve mexican food. You can try nachos with or without baked beans and have an ice cream soda along. Tacos and Enchilladas are awesome. Nice place to take the whole gang of friends for a birthday party. Not that great for a couple cos the place can get really noisy at times. Plus long waiting queues at peak time i.e between 8:00 to 10:00 p.m can spoil the party.
