North America Dispatch #34: Seafood Shacks: A Plan of Attack
Manhattan, New York
Back home in New York City for a few days, surprised to see trees a different color than they were at my August departure.
I’d seen a copy of the just-published New England’s Favorite Seafood Shacks, by Elizabeth Bougerol, and it was incredibly timely, seeing as how the next leg of my trip will take me up through New England. It’s a hefty book, very well written, and includes virtually all of my top picks. I thought it might be a good idea to meet with Elizabeth so that she could help launch my northward trip with some seafood shack savvy.
We enjoyed a lively conversation al fresco in front of the underrated East Village restaurant Quhnia (45 East First Street, New York, New York; 212-529-3066). Listen in:

Podcast #3: Chowder obsessions, self-loathing Canadians, and all for the love of salt: MP3.
Podcast #4: Final counseling and benedictions before I head north: MP3.

Jim,
While you're in New England, would you PLEASE report if you find Red Flannel Hash on a menu anywhere? I've been searching since discovering it in some old cookbooks, but haven't found a sighting in the wild. http://thejeffnextdoor.blogspot.com/2...

Just caught this. First, why crave alone? This is exactly what the Chowhound.com message boards are for! Post a query, and sit back and let the tips from fellow hash-lovers roll in!
Me? I like the red flannel hash at Pat's Kountry Kitchen in Old Saybrook, CT. 203-388-4784
