When you are in New York , you will find a diverse and unlimited range of food options . But where does it taste good and where are the prices affordable, especially in Manhattan ? While you can get fast food from McDonalds and Co. at significantly lower prices than in Europe, good restaurants are usually twice or three times as expensive.
In this article we would like to introduce you to a restaurant in the East Village that is worthwhile for anyone who likes to eat fries.
The “ French Fries ” shop has very tasty fries that are fried twice and are therefore particularly crispy on the outside. But it's not just the fries themselves that make this shop one of the best places when it comes to the salty treats. In addition to the classic “barrier” or “red-white” fries with tomato ketchup and mayo, you can choose from more than 25 different sauces and toppings as to how you want to refine your fries. Try the Vietnamese pineapple dip, chipolte sauce, parmesan and fresh herbs or maybe truffles with your fries. You will not regret it.
The address of “ French Fries ” is: 128 Macdougal Street, New York, NY 10012 . You can't miss this as there is usually a long queue in front of the store. But please don't let that put you off. The service and organization in the store are great and you can get through the queue quickly.
The price is perfectly fine, especially for New York standards. A regular portion of fries is $5.25 while a large portion is $7 . The special sauces and toppings each cost an additional $1.50 . You have seating in the store, but you can also order the fries to take away.
At the end a few tips:
