'80s Madonna ponders Bill's burgers
I’ve just added 10 new restaurant writeups to the neighborhood sections: See West Village, East Village, Soho, LES, Midtown, Brooklyn Heights, and Park Slope for some new places to add to your list. Um, what’s the Madonna-circa-Borderline pic doing here? I passed this mural on the way to lunch at Bill’s Bar and Burger; it’s on a wall across Ninth Ave from Bill’s. ’80s Madonna, the Desperately Seeking Susan years: a distant memory, but undeniably scruffier, cooler, more bygone-New York than Madge and other dreary/annoying incarnations. Ponder, ignore, or email me here to justify your love (or hate).
Other news: The price ranges and specific features of all the restaurants listed on Salmaland are now more easily searchable, via the search-engine in the upper-right corner. Looking for cheap restaurants? Search for CHP. Upscale? Search UPSC. Moderate? MOD. Places good for vegetarians or groups: Search VGT or GRP, respectively. Restaurants that double as drink destinations? Search DRNK. A separate bar section will be up soon too.See Welcome to Salmaland for a refresher on what’s on this site, and what’s coming soon.
Besides the restaurants above, I’ve been adding in new blurbs and rotating out others on a regular basis—so always check back for places worth hitting in each neighborhood. But since I’ve just banged out 10 new blurbs at once, I thought I’d give a heads-up. I’ll also soon have the Facebook fan page ready, so you can get regular updates there on what’s new on Salmaland. (The page is in progress and doesn’t officially exist yet; will launch soon.)
As always, many thanks for reading, and for all your links and tweets and your great (and always welcome) comments.
