| | | | | | Well-wishers beware: friends of the new Amazing 66 restaurant on Mott Street have set quite a standard for beneficence. From the hip-high clusters of gift baskets and flower arrangements so plentiful that they spill out of the dining room and down the stairs, decorating the entire width of the sidew... Read More | | | | | | Amazin! If you're bold enough to name a place Amazing 66, you better be able to deliver the goods. At Olia's suggestion, we gathered up a group of 10 to test the level of amazement their food would bless us with. What were the results? Well. We ate pretty much everything, if that's any indica... Read More | | | | | | 7:30 pm. Friday night. Dinner for 10 at Amazing 66. Organized by: Olia (super thank you! :) Eaters: Robyn, Diana, Olia, Jeremiah, Ian, Carol, John, Alice, Tristan, and myself! The restaurant was packed to the edge during peak dinner hours with customers waiting in line both inside and outside. Des... Read More | | | | | | Keep an eye out for the dishes at the next table. Ordering "one of those" won't always help you, however; a number of the more elaborate dishes must be preordered. Take pumpkin... Read More | | | | | | After many emails back and forth and one near-mixup with dates, RL, DW, and I finally met up at Amazing 66 two weeks ago for a business lunch of sorts. As the essay and fiction editors of a new literary journal, we had all been communicating over email for some time, but RL and DW had yet to meet each other in person. A meal of Peking Duck seemed like a fine activity over which to have a meet 'n'... Read More | | | | | | It could have just been a coincidence, but I wasn't taking that chance. Last night at Amazing 66, practically every table had ordered the Roast Chicken with Fresh Garlic Sauce ($10 for half, $19 for whole). It was like... | | | | | | [Crap, I'm two weeks behind. SORRY, I SUCK.] Mm, chicken. The saturated garlic-ness of the roast chicken with garlic sauce from Amazing 66 didn't really hit me until after I had I wiped my mouth with my food detritus-tainted napkin. [sniff sniff] It took me a while to realize that the napkin'... Read More | | | | | | For the New Year I like to eat like a King, because it’s the New Year and maybe, just maybe I will no longer be a CheapAss! But we all know that isn’t going to happen, so every year in the beginning of January I eat like Henry the Eighth. Amazing 66 is famous for their seafood and definitely recogni... Read More | | | | | | For a preview of my coming NYMag.com review of Amazing 66, check out the pic on jozzard -- that's right, a whole boneless, fleshless chicken skin is stuffed with Chinese sausage-studded sticky rice, then deep fried. It's $33, and you actually have to pre-order it. | | | | | | Over at Serious Eats, Ed Levine is doing some blogging -- three steps removed -- about a craving for Amazing 66's "chicken-less chicken." I thought I would just add another cyber-layer to the discussion. I have not had the... | | | |
