Lassi is an Indian take-out restaurant on Greenwich right off 10th Street. There are about 6 stools if you'd prefer to eat in, or just to hang on while you wait for your order.

Diana probably wasn't very happy to navigate the unfamiliar area around Corner Bistro while being pelted with rain...but hey, she told me to make the recommendation. She asked for burgers? I GAVE HER BURGERS! Admittedly, the google map is a bit off; the restaurant is on the corner of West 4th and Jane, not randomly splodged on 8th Ave.

Thursday I made a quick trip into Manhattan just to try Lassi, the Indian snack-food shop, and I found something there worth hauling 31 pounds of stroller and infant up and down subway stairs for. DO NOT order a small lassi, unless you're planning to try one of every flavor. I had the cardamom, and I have to figure out how to make it here at home. How do they make it sweet? I think they use ground-up whole cardamom pods because there were chewy, tiny fibrous pieces at the bottom. I slurped them right up less than a block from the store.

There’s nothing big about Lassi—a new urban Punjabi takeaway shop on Greenwich Avenue. In fact you may miss it if you walk by and turn away to answer your cell phone, or shuffle past a song on your iPod. It is a lean space—a white-washed exposed brick rectangle with the wingspan of a small child—about the size of a “cozy” studio apartment that might be priced somewhere around $450,000. Yes, the space is small, but man, those flavors are BIG. Lassi’s chef, Heather Carlucci-Rodriguez —who is making recipes based on the homestyle Punjabi dishes of her longtime friend Purva Sudan—has been known to make a mean sweet or two (her desserts at L’Impero and Judson Grill earned her 3 Stars from The NY Times) and is not shy about FLAY-vah. It is present and accounted for in every bite of every dish on her tiny little menu, which makes it is a joy to consume the food at Lassi. This is the sort of stuff that makes you go weak in the knees.
