"Okay, there is much deliberation about who's Hummus is the best. Well, I can say that Mimi's is regarded by many as of the Gold Standard in NYC. Last night I was down at Brighton Beach and decided I wanted hummus, so I called them to see if they had outdoor seating, which they currently do. But, what they didn't tell me was that they stop seating at a certain point, which is before they close their counter service. So by the time I got there, they were closed. I was disappointed. Why didn't the guy on the phone mention this when I called? Oh well, the waitress told me the news when I got there. She mentioned coming again, and I told her that I don't live nearby, and then I left. Not a minute later as I made my way down the street she appeared with a brown paper bag of items in hand, a focaccia bread and two spreads, and handed it to me. WHAT?? She told me that she was sorry that I'd come so far, and that there is a good restaurant about a block in the direction I was walking that is still open. What venue does this??? I am blown away, not by free food (which is really nice) but by the sincere gesture. And it comes through just as well in their food. If you want some of the best hummus in NYC, or other an array of delicious treats or a meal, make the trip to Mimi's, they do care about you!!! But still, ask what time their table service ends LOL!!!"
