They've got fresh fruit smoothies with actual fresh fruit, a tasty avocado toast on some seriously delicious bread (pretty tiny, but only $5), and they are anti-plastic bottles, which is probably how we should all be. The caprese sandwich was a little weak for the price and tasted a little odd to me, but overall eating at La Fruteria made me feel much better about the giant bag of chips and the Frito Pie I ate later on in the day. I'd do it again. ____________ *A beach gut is like a beach body, but worse. If you're confused, ask me to show you mine next time you see me.

And if your beach body is not exactly on point (a generous understatement in my case), you don't want to stuff yourself because it's going to make your gut protrude even more prominently? So you should probably just get a juice or a salad or something? Well, I go in the exact opposite direction. When I'm at the beach, I want all the barbecue, and all the fried things. The Fletcher's outpost at the Riis Park Beach Bazaar serves the same great smoked meats that you can grab in Gowanus (and at the new DeKalb Market Hall), and it's everything I ever wanted. Pulled pork or brisket sandwiches on squishy potato rolls, piled high with tender meat, slaw, and topped with a bit of sauce. Perfectly crispy waffle fries virtually covered in fatty brisket (because meat fries are better than just ordinary fries). And of course, ribs (my favorite food). All of it served to me by a nice dude wearing a Meats shirt that looks like a Mets shirt. I regret nothing, and neither will you. (Oh, and if you want, you can pre-order whole briskets or pork butts, and serve you and everyone you know delicious barbecue on the beach.)

I will never spend one more dime at any Fletchers location. The management is cruel and…read moreanti-family in my opinion. I was at the Riis location with my kids today. We spent about $35 on food and subsequently asked them to fill our cups with water. They refused. They have a sink right in their kiosk, and they refused to give us tap water. I explained to one of the workers, who seemed like a manager, that my kids were thirsty and that we spent all our money in his establishment on sandwiches and waffle fries. He still wouldn't give us the water. I further explained that I walked to the water fountain on the boardwalk, and only an undrinkable dribble came out. He didn't care. He claimed it was "health code violation" to give me tap water. I noticed that there were several gallon bottles of open barbecue sauce on the counter. It was 80 degrees out. I saw workers pouring the same bbq sauce on meat sandwiches. Isn't that a health code violation, storing food products at 80 degrees? In my opinion, Fletcher's management doesn't care about its customers, especially children. Luckily for us, a worker from the fried clam stand adjacent to Fletcher's overheard what was happening. She gave us water from the clam stand's sink. Avoid Fletcher's. Mean people.

I've dropped by here a few times for a cold beer after a race on the boardwalk to cool down and relax in the sun. They have a small but decent enough beer list, from Coney Island pilsner to Bud, to Kona Big Wave and a few others all under $10. Also, some canned beers such as High Noon and Goose Island IPA. I skip eating here as most of the menu is unhealthy but they do have some healthy things such as a few salads and fruit bowls. I've found the service here to also be ok.

Since COVID, I've rarely gone out to Chinatown in manhatttan and I've really missed eating hot tofu fa and drinking fresh soy milk. And if you're anything like me, this will definitely satisfy that sweet tooth. This wasn't an easy to find location but if you know what you're looking for, you'll definitely spot it. This isn't your usual sit down, grab dessert and chill vibes though. However, it's still worth grabbing some food to go! I can't say much about the other delights they have, but the tofu dessert with the syrup is definitely a must buy if you love it. It's soft, sweet and can be eaten hot or cold. My preference on these cold wintry days is warm to hot! The only caveat to ordering is that they are lacking an English sign. I'm sure that they likely will know some English but in a city like NY, what can really deter us from good food?

Little street cart that serves the softest cheong fun ever! I got off the plane from LA and…read moreimmediately rushed myself over to this little cart. I've heard so many great things about the cheong fun here and how cheap it is. I was recommended to go earlier in the day since they leave early or whenever they're sold out. Considering it's street food, take the cleanliness to your liking. My family and I got 5 different bowls and the total came out to $18 which is NOT bad at all. They offer soy sauce, peanut sauce, and/or chili sauce. Definitely only get the soy sauce for the protein options and peanut sauce + soy sauce for the plain one! Take it from me, my dad ordered all three sauces in all of our bowls and it was too much flavor mixing together in your mouth. Food: Plain Cheong Fun (8.4/10): The silkiest, softest cheong fun I've put in my mouth. You must eat this right away. This is not a take-home option because it will clump up together. Take it from me, I made the mistake of bringing this back on a 15 minute subway ride. Although I had to wait to enjoy, it was still delicious. Dried Shrimp Cheong Fun (7.6/10): I love a good dried shrimp and green onion cheong fun but this one didn't really hit the spot for me. I wish there was dried shrimp within the cheong fun. I maybe got a few pieces within each bite but those bites were still delicious.

This time I found the opportunity and am glad I can say I've been now! Its literally a small cart on the corner of the street intersection. There was a line formed and so we just followed suit. No place to sit to eat, so just be mindful of that - especially since the containers they give you the food in can be super hot! We ordered one fresh shrimp rice roll, and waited about 10 minutes for our food to come out. It is PIPING hot so it was hard to hold and eat, but we managed. The first few bites were delicious and the rice roll was super silky. However I felt like since it was shoved inside the plastic container, the rice roll keeps cooking in its own heat, and thus got overly goopy. Still, I enjoyed the cheap snack on the street, but have definitely had better long-standing rice rolls in NY.
