Village Voice

"Slinging sourballs since the 1930s, this longtime favorite preserves, in sugary microcosm, the Lower East Side of the old days."

"Northside's village bread, a massive four-pound loaf, is the greatest sandwich bread you'll ever have."

"Choose 2 meats served over rice and bockchoy, or other vegetables. Robert Sietsema suggests duck and roast pig."

"For $4.50 you can choose 4 dishes served over rice. The combinations must be endless!"

"At $1 a piece, the peking duck is an insane deal - we consider this dish one of the best cheap eats in NYC"

"This place beats bargain pizza by 25 cents - i f you thought $1 was a deal, try 75 cents!"
