Church Ave.
Ram's Roti, 1919 Church Ave.: The top choice among Caribbean locals. Using traditional Trinidadian spices, the roti at Ram's comes paired with chicken, goat, beef or shrimp. Swing by for breakfast on Saturdays to sample the mango curry or fried eggplant with potatoes.
"I eat here twice a day," said Leela Ramasin, 55, who works in a real-estate office nearby. "I've tried other places around here. This is the best. There's no comparison." Entrées range from $5.50 to $10.
Avenue H
Paradise East, 1223 Coney Island Ave.: A taste of Pakistan that's grown a local following thanks to its chicken dishes cooked in the restaurant's own tandoor (clay pot). The chicken makhni made with oriental spices and gravy, as well as the chicken kabobs, are popular.
"Our chicken is absolutely amazing," said waiter Fahad Malik, 20. "We use our own spices, and people love it." Entrées are $10 to $13.
Avenue U
Triple Z Chinese Food, 1410 Ave. U: A local favorite of straphangers longing for authentic Chinese barbecue.
"The barbecue hanging in the window gets me every time," said John Hsia, 27, who lives around the corner in the predominantly Asian neighborhood or Homecrest.
"When someone opens the doors, you can even smell it. It's great."
Along with traditional Chinese favorites like barbecue duck and roast pork, Triple Z's more popular menu items include fried tofu with fish filet and pork chops with onions. Entrées are $8 to $12.
Brighton Beach
Golden Label Russian Deli, 249 Brighton Beach Ave.: This is no ordinary deli. Golden Label prides itself on importing food from all over the world, including 15 varieties of fish, a laundry list of cheeses and a massive dessert section that has everything from sweet rolls to football-sized chocolate Easter eggs.

Restaurant closed after dead deer found in kitchen - Yahoo! News
Restaurant closed after dead deer found in kitchen - Yahoo! News
HAMBURG, N.Y. – Health officials shut down a suburban Buffalo restaurant after an inspector found employees butchering a dead deer inside the business. Erie County Health Department officials said they got a tip Friday about a dead deer in the China King restaurant in the town of Hamburg, just south of Buffalo.
An inspector soon arrived and saw the deer being butchered in the kitchen.
State health laws prohibit butchering an animal inside a restaurant.
Officials don't know whether the deer had been killed by a hunter or a vehicle. They said there was no indication the deer meat was served to any customers.
The message on the restaurant's answering machine Monday says it was closed because of "family emergencies."
----------------
No way will they allow fresh deer meat to be served to customers. That would be terrible.

Al Sharpton
http://www.amny.com/news/local/crime/ny-nysharpton1009,0,2134185.story
Criminal Court Judge Larry Stephen issued the verdict on Wednesday. He sentenced the defendants to time already served -- in Sharpton's case, five hours -- and ordered each to pay a court surcharge of $95."I am of course sympathetic to the underlying issues which gave rise to the protests and demonstrations on May 7," Stephen said. He said he believed the demonstrators acted for reasons of conscience but they broke the law."If you decide to take a bullet for the team, you should not complain about the consequences that flow from that," the judge said.
