We passed a storefront on West 3rd Street between McDougal and 6th Avenue last night -- a huge reprint of this New York Times review was posted in the window, which led us to one conclusion. Seems like there will be bing in the 'hood in the not-too-distant future. Before we read the article, we had no idea what a bing was either, but upon further investigation, we discovered that a bing is a "hot pocket" of sorts -- fillings ranging from spicy pork to pickled vegetables enrobed in a flaky pastry crust. The original Unique Pastry, in Flushing, offers 17 varieties, each for a mere $1-$1.50. Although we haven't yet tried a bing, we are pretty excited about the prospect of having one nearby -- both based on Peter Meehan's review and the buzz from the Chowhounds.
To get a preview, head to the original location in Flushing: 135-23 40th Road (Main Street), Flushing, Queens; (718) 888-7790. If you've been there, let us know more about the bing!

I'm generally not too much of a writing- Nazi, but the prose here is dreadful. Note to the editor(s)- if you need to read it twice to understand it, try again.
i agree with steve-o. it took me three readings to get the details of this 'bing' straight.
Bing is chinese for bread/bun/cake/sandwich.
Agreed with the two first comments. This is not the first or even hundredth near-incoherent post on this site. What's up?

Dear Critics, write your own blog, then consider yourself lucky if people care enough to bash your writing.
Dear cdjames,
How exactly does this offend you? Are you one of Gothamist's writers or a friend of a writer? Gothamist is clearly part of a business, not a personal blog. This site would be a great resource for New Yorkers if it were better written, and I think it's fine for people to point that out in hopes of seeing some well-edited posts in the future. We'd all benefit if Gothamist hired a qualified a copy editor. Would you really have a problem with that, or do you think the writing here is fine?
