Grub Street Diet: Nico Walker

on 2021.09.16

6 Places

"When asked about his favorite foods, Nico Walker has only one answer: ice cream. During his time in prison, he could buy it at the commissary once a week, and he’d go back and forth between devouring and refusing it, even though the food served to prisoners makes many sick."

Don Pancho Villa

Mexican restaurant · Williamsburg

"Don Pancho’s is not any random-ass-place-to-go-eat type of place, not any place just to shovel a little dumb food into a dumb face and then kick rocks. It isn’t like that. Be ready to look alive. Don Pancho’s is a place where people go to have fun. (You remember fun, right?)"

Ernesto's

Basque restaurant · Lower East Side

"Ernesto’s is a Basque place. Which is to say they specialize in Basque-style cooking there. This is their forté: Basque cuisine."

Mountain Province

Permanently Closed

"We went to Mountain Province Espresso Bar. She wanted me to try this brioche they have. They had another eggy-type thing, which had grated cassava, coconut milk, and coconut cream as part of it, and a type of glaze that’s done by toasting condensed milk."

Lady Jay’s

Bar · Williamsburg

"At Lady Jay’s the bartenders are cool. People are cool. We like cool people. It was good."

Pizzette

Italian restaurant · Williamsburg

"We dropped in at Pizzette one day. They do a good pizza. We had the margherita. We had the prosciutto-arugula. It’s kinda half like an Italian pizza, half like a New York–style one. It’s good. Not especially costly either. The Pizzette burger is also recommended."

The Commodore

Chicken restaurant · Williamsburg

"We went to the Commodore on Sunday. Everybody had spicy chicken sandwiches and I had a Trailways cocktail, sub gin for vodka."
