So, my question is: Has anyone else on this list even been to Palava Hut? And can anyone set me up with a steady supply of palm wine?

I hate to say it, but if I'm all the way out there, chances are I'll go to White Castle, not Palava Hut.

I Loooooooooooove White Castle. Chicken Rings are the best idea ever. Did you try the French Onion Burger they had a while ago? It was damn good.

by the way there is also a White Castle in Fort Green one block over from Willoughby

Haven't had the french onion burger, but I love the chicken rings! It's basically the most processed artificial food in existence. Compared to these things, Twinkies are like organic!

Thread Jack! And yes, chicken rings, particularly after last call, are fantabulous.

It's definitely part of the "stoner movie" canon.

At the White Castles in MH they do the scrambled egg patty thing on their breakfast sandwiches, is that the case at this one, too? At WC in MN they crack an egg and fry it on the grill- I used to love going there for breakfast!

Jalapeno cheeseburgers... mmmmm...

Mmmm... oh, the meal for two thing reminds me- again, dunno if they do this here, but in MN on valentine's day, the put out tablecloths, candles, etc and you have a personal server! Never experienced it myself, but they advertise it every year!

read it. I'd be up for a DH field trip to the outer edge of our nabe to try some goat in red sauce. mmmm.
Do they have that at White Castle now?!?! WOW!!!
:P

there are 3 establishments about which i've always been curious on that strip of atlantic, being that i see them daily on my trip out to and back from work in east new york: palava hut, ovaltines (or something like that -- a nightclub?), and another resto/nihgtclub called (along the lines of) poknockers with a lot of apostrophes. and, yes, the chipotle-burger whitecastle sign was quite a puzzlement, when it existed. i was beginning to think palava hut was another refrigerator-repair place, so i would be quite curious if interesting food was cooked there. unfortunately, goat is not a food that interests me...if anyone goes, please report!! or, on any of the other places.
