Before
Very Fresh NoodlesA counter on the main concourse of Chelsea Market where the dough is pulled and slapped against the bench in front of you before it goes in the water. Biang biang noodles wide as a belt, dumplings, and a chili oil that is the reason most people are in line. You order, they call your name, and you eat at the shared tables in the middle of the concourse. The whole thing takes about fifteen minutes including the wait.

After
Corner BistroA cash-only bar at West 4th and Jane where the burger comes on a paper plate and the beer is cheap. There are no reservations and no table service beyond someone shouting your order. It runs to 4am Thursday through Saturday, so it is one of the few places in the West Village still cooking when a late set lets out.
