Excellent mozzarella and prosciutto and salami. The best authentic Italian deli in the world. Grab a number and get ready to fill a bag or two!
Better than ever in its new location. Still long lines if you get there much past 10am.
Tasty small plates and wine. A bit pricey and space is super small, but great food. Would not recommend for a large group.
One of my favorite restaurants! All the pizzas and pastas are amazing! You have to try the clam pie!
Cozy wine bar. The perfect stop after a day of shopping in SoHo.
Who knew the best kind of neighborhood restaurant would be a legit sushi spot? Incredibly reasonable prices for omakase, don’t skip it. Snag a seat at the sushi bar if you can!
Cheurng fung made on the spot. One serving is $1.50 and fills you right up. Go ham on the sauces.
Definitely have to come back for the Big Tray Chicken, but I can say that the pork pancake is fantastic. Better than the pork burger at Xi'an. Crank it up to 11 with some of the chili oil on the side.
Loud, candlelit, crowded but all in all splendid! Welcoming staff, they took their time to answer our questions. Burrata, oysters, ricotta dumplings and lamb ribs were amazing! Definitely coming back✨
Great NYC institution. You can sit down and eat or take out to go. Knishes go for $3.75 and specials are more. Try the mushroom or chocolate. Credit card minimum $10.
Casual restaurant for group outings and good value for money. Kobe beef shareable plate and broccoli tempura were our favorites.
Worth the wait! (Tip: Arrive right when it opens at 6pm, short line and you’ll probably get a table). Waiters are very friendly and helpful - got a few off the menu drinks that were amazing!
What night in East Village doesn’t end at Crif Dogs (esp. for a night cap 🤫). Chihuahua and spicy red neck. Cheese tots always.
NYC + brunch? This is it, this is the place. Unforgettable blueberry pancakes. Also solid fried chicken.
Many nights here with a group of friends either pre or post drinking. Korean fried chicken and watermelon soju is the name of the game.
Similar-ish menu to its sibling restaurant and the OG, Emily. Can't go wrong with any of the pizzas, and of course, get the burger.
So much to love about this staple, classic donut shop. Cash only. Pillowy soft donuts. Bavarian filled or apple pie donuts are my fav.
This place holds so many memories for me. Never a meal without their salt and pepper fried squid over rice with a runny egg. Other favs: sweet and sour fried pork chops. Garlic chicken. Beef chow fun.
The epitome of a Cha Chan Tang (HK style diner). Get the congee, milk tea, rice rolls. Great breakfast specials.
One of the last old school Canto diners around. Get a few dim sum dishes, but my favorite is actually the steamed fish to go. Never hurts to grab some zong too.
It’s true what everyone says: the cavatelli is where it’s at. Also, get the meatballs.
A longtime Chinatown staple who needs our support more than ever. $5.95 lunch special comes with a main, side rice and side soup. It really doesn’t get better than that (please don’t forget to tip!)
I hate this place... I love this place! I hate this place... I love this place! I ha... ah who am I kidding. Jargaritas.
Yes, the place could use a facelift. But the service is the friendliest, the coffee is actually good, and you can’t beat the price. I have never loved something so plain until I came across Silk Road.
I don’t know what I love more. The fact that it’s not a generic wine list or the fact that you feel like you’re in a living room that’s not atypical of NYC living room standards. What a gem.
One of the most diverse Thai menus I’ve seen. Pick at random and you likely won’t be disappointed.
Arrived at 5:00 for the burger and was #2 in line for opening at 5:30. Excellent bar service! “You deserve this” the bartender said as he served the burger to me 😭 No detail goes by unnoticed.
Well priced wines by the bottle, carafe or glass and a food menu. Love the open space in the back where there’s couches and tables. So cozy!
Jazz music on the weekend starts at 5:30, but arrive early before it gets crowded. Pricy drinks.
Tip: single cheeseburger (no egg), fries split with you & your honey & a glass of cab to wash it down. More food & you will be down for the count - trust me 🤤
When you didn’t realize an excellent pizza place could also produce a phenomenal burger. So of course, you get both.
A big slice of Artichoke is the only way to end a night out in the city.
No matter the time of the day, this place never disappoints. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the burger and the bucatini cacio e pepe are my favorites.
The place to end the night (and maybe PTFO at the table?). Usually a wait though. Budae jigae and watermelon soju to share with the group.
One of the best slice shops in the city. Marg and square are great options but the crust is great so you won’t go wrong
black-owned business in NYC, opened by one Scarr Pimentel. Cheeky Sandwiches just across the way is also black-owned (by Din Yates). Pimentel famously mills his own grain every day (what)
My go to spot every time I’m feeling sick or it’s a rainy day. Tang jai jook (congee) with a side of yau tiu (dough stick). And gong chow ngau hor (beef chow fun).
