No nonsense diner straight out of the '50s with great burgers and club sandwiches.
It's dark, seductive, romantic, and a gem of a speakeasy. If you're lucky you can snag a seat on a couch.

Mezzaluna is the perfect low-key Italian dinner on the Upper East Side. You can’t go wrong with any of the brick oven pizzas; however our recommendation is the spicy black linguine with shrimp.
Order the cheeseburger deluxe for a great, inexpensive lunch in an otherwise pricy neighborhood. Service is incredibly swift for those on a tight schedule.
Buzzing late night spot. Super string Dark & Stormys here. Gentlemen make sure u have a collared shirt

A little bit of Paris on the Upper East Side, try the pistachio, raspberry, chocolate... Or maybe it's just easier to get one of each?

If you live on the upper east side and you're literate but you haven't been here, you're seriously missing out.
Walking around post- met and found this place. Amazing comfort food made better cup the daddy-o is in town. Get the paprikash!
The atmosphere and staff are utterly charming. Try Les Escargots de Bourgogne and the Braised Beef Short Ribs. Don’t skip desert either as we’d recommend the Crème Caramel and Profiteroles.
A truly hidden gem featuring live music every night starting at 9:30pm! It’s raucous, crowded and everyone is having a stupidly good time.
Gracie Mansion was built in 1799. A different building was commandeered by George Washington on roughly the same site during the American Revolutionary War, as it strategically overlooked Hell Gate.
One of my uptown favorites. Huge fan of the goat cheese & black pepper bruschetta, as well as the veal ragout farfalle. Wine is also incredibly well-priced. Sit in their back garden, if you can.
Some of the best Vegetarian on the Upper East Side. Try the porcini crusted seitan with mashed potatoes, the portions are generous and you won’t leave hungry. Try their sister restaurant up the street
For an appetizer, get the pasta trio. You can choose any three pastas on the menu, and they will bring everyone at your table a sample of each. It's worth it -- this is some of the best Italian in NYC
An exquisite raw fish experience with uniquely crafted pieces. Try the tuna with tofu cream, flounder with lotus chip, and the foie gras sushi.
