There are no preferable fries over at this 12-year-old East Village shack, which gives the side dish the spotlight it merits. Proprietor administrators Suzanne Levinson and Omer Shorshi cook their potatoes twice before serving the brilliant golden-brown goodies straight up in a fresh paper cone.
If you are travelling to New York City and you are a lover of fries, then the following are definitely places to visit so as to taste the best frites you can find in New York City.
Vol de Nuit
Both the frites and the wooden stand that they land in are carefully assembled at red-lit Belgian lager safe house Vol de Nuit. The vegetable-oil-browned russets are thin, crispedged and dependably served sizzling. A side of thick, European-style aioli is rich, verging on like icing.
Cookshop
The addictively crunchy, thin pommes frites served at Cookshop are dusted with a surprisingly complex combination of spices. Dip them in the housemade mayonnaise.
Strip House
In spite of the fact that not exactly a broil, the goose-fat potatoes at Strip House are a more than commendable option. Spuds are stewed in fat, blended with rosemary and thyme, and heated, before being dove into the profound fryer.
