I grabbed some food to go from these two replacement eateries (Sugar Sow and Tamale Co) aside the gas station on 436 near the train tracks (and station) around twelve days ago at dinner.
Grattin Dog - It's a Colombian burger, dogs, wings, etc play. I just grabbed a Colombian sausage ($4) to go out of curiosity (and I wasn't hungry). It was damn good. Although, probably just purchased and reheated. Still good. Long. Pork. Slight flavor of garlic and cumin. Served atop an arepa. White corn. Could have been cooked longer. They said they make their own empanadas (4 types). They also sell salchipapa, choripapa and salchifries. The burgers looked ok. They have some tricked out ones with cheese melted on top of the bun for around 10 bucks. That is the 'grattin" in the name. I surmise it's from the French "gratin". Maybe that how it is spelled in Spanish. Or a bastardization. Dogs start at $6. See why I chose the sausage? They are from Bogota. Seemed like a two man op. Open everyday. 9pm on week nights. 1am on F and Sa. In the Tamale space. Open for ten months.
Nick's Pizzeria - In the Sugar Sow space. One regular and one Sicilian slice (because they were down to the last slice in the cooked pie). $2 and $3 a piece. Fine. Typical NY style. Neutral sauce. Sicilian wasn't dense. Crisp bottom. The menu states that they are trying to do a full service out of a band box. Calzone, stromboli, pasta, subs, salads, wraps, apps, desserts. They seemed nice. Guy and his girl (or a girl). Open one month. 7 days a week. 10 to 9 Sn-Th. 10 to 10 Fr and Sa. Give both a try.
