Here's a good, inexpensive, comfort food place for lunch or dinner -
Macaroni and cheese is my go-to-comfort food so I was incredibly excited to discover S’MAC in the East Village. It’s an entire restaurant dedicated to making a variety of different mac and cheese recipes. They not only have 12 different types listed on the menu, but there’s also the option to make your own. And best of all — it’s not that expensive. The smallest size, nosh, is only $7.25. And trust me, you don’t need to get more than the nosh. My friends and I all made the mistake of getting the mongo ($10.75) and having to walk home with a pound of leftover mac and cheese.
I was extremely overwhelmed by all the options and finally decided on sharing with my friend. We decided on the Pariseinne (brie, figs, mushrooms, and rosemary) and my own creation (goat cheese, mozzarella, spinach, and chicken), both made with whole wheat pasta.
They were extremely good and extremely rich and I could feel my cholesterol rising with each bite I took.
And best of all, they sell lactaid pills on the counter so that everyone, including your lactose-intolerant friend who always eats dairy and then complains for 6 hours, can enjoy their meal.
