Definitely one of the better cups of coffee in the hood. Not the most comfortable for work though.
Whether it's the coffee or their blackboard breakfast options, this is a lovely cafe for some alone time wake-me-up... it's teeny.
The breakfast sandwiches are a revelation. Grab one to go and eat it on a park bench across the street.
The best pizza in the neighborhood, and maybe even the city. Eat-in: get the octopus and any of the pizzas. Take-out: the margarita pie and brussels sprout/pancetta white pie, no sides.
Blue ribbon chicken burger. Put some chipotle honey on it and dig in. You won't come up for air until you're finished.
Coffee spot by day but dark low-key bar at night with craft beer and spirits set to music by Band of Horses, Grizzly Bear, Strokes etc.
Some of the better Mexican cuisine in lower Manhattan. Ask them to spice up the pineapple margarita, get some guac and whatever entree strikes your fancy
tots v waffle fries? get both, cover with cheez, and grab a PBR tall boy for good measure. look at you, hot stuff.
Get 10 of your friends together and set up a bo ssam dinner. Great price and a whole lotta food
I have to lower many other ramen reviews I've made now. This place is on a different level. So much flavor! Rich broth and the noodles, a good chew. The Char Siu was fall-apart tender. So good!
$9 for your choice of six fresh pastas and eleven sauces. Absolutely delicious and easily the best pasta value in the East Village.
From 5 to 7 every day $21.50 gets you miso soup, a salad, 4 appetizers, 4 skewers, a sushi roll, 3 nigiri pieces, a scoop of ice cream, and hot tea. One of the best deals in the East Village.
Our favorite restaurant in the 'hood. Amazing local American food. Kale Salad, heritage pork, and a must-have rotating dessert. Everything on the menu is good and seasonal.
only open thursday - sunday, but you can get their scoops and pints at sustainable nyc around the corner other days.
One of my favorite bars in the east village. Buck hunter, skee ball, darts, and pool tables. Play all four games in a World Series with your friends.
If the Blue Mountain bourbon barrel ale is on tap, get it. And the olives. And the cheese w the little truffle nuggets baked in.
Lots of tv's, great bloody marys and buck hunter/pinball. Friendly staff, chill vibe and all around great neighborhood dive. You can even order food in, no problem.
Fun 4am weekend activity: try every flavor of pierogi topped with apple sauce with a buddy.
