Belgian-style fries turn a Village wander into an easy snack stop.
Pommes Frites gives Belgian-style fries the whole stage on MacDougal Street. The potatoes are cooked twice, with a wide choice of sauces turning a simple order into the main decision.
It suits a short food stop during a Village walk or before a nearby film. Come for the fries themselves and leave room to try a sauce beyond the familiar ketchup-and-mayonnaise pairing.
