Go straight to Roberta's, get the Bee Sting pizza with pepperoni and spicy honey. Appreciate saving a 3 hour trip to Brooklyn.
Sarah LuvisottoMay 26, 2012Head straight to Roberta's and get a taste of a true italian Pizza: thin, light, crispy, simple and made of fresh ingredients. Very cool,friendly and efficient guys. Eat in the park across the street.
Caroline DengMay 20, 2016So many great food options so you can't really go wrong. Try the Ice & Vice x Squish Marshmallow with Black Sesame Matcha and the Detention Ice Cream.
The. "El Tartufo" Panini at Charlito's Cocina is a true gem. It's certainly expensive but you'll know why once you sink your teeth into it. Order one early cause they run out of truffled salami fast!
Fall 2014 highlights include Pig & Khao, The Cannibal, Mexicue, Takumi, Melt, Seoul Lee, Arancini Brothers, Mayhem & Stout, Red Hook Lobster Pound, and La Sonrisa. Okay ... everything, really.- Fall 2016 highlights include recent and returning favorites like Ice & Vice, Melt Bakery, Hong Kong Street Cart, Gotham Poke, Mr. Bing, Khao Man Gai, Bolivian Llama Party, Domo Taco, and Roberta's.
Leah HammerschlagMay 29, 2014The Cannibal's Lamb Gyro is out of this world.. For $11 you're getting more than your money's worth- a HEFTY portion of insanely delicious lamb. Do it, and split it with a friend.
Holly DowellMay 28, 2015Roberta's is great. Bar Suzette has AWESOME crepes and burgers. The Rosemary limeade at Mayhem & Stout is fabulous. Also the Truffleist cheese steaks are great!- Sonrisa's Empenadas are the BEST Empenadas I've ever had. You can't go wrong with the beef, but the real magic is with the Chicken Curry. Don't leave here without grabbing one!
- You don't have to be a foodie to enjoy the eats available here. Food tents galore, they are all great. Calexico Cart, Milk Bar, Roberta's Pizza, Resto, the list goes on. You can't go wrong here.
Zayed KhanMay 27, 2017Cheesesteaks by the Truffleist uses very good bread, and the meats are well cooked. But opt for a sandwich without truffle. They just use truffle oil, and it's rancid.
The best way to kick off summer! Bring cash & get excited for lots of tasty options. Also not a bad place for outdoor drinks (& more food!) after work if you can snag a table.
Annie TMay 11, 2015Great variety, great people watching. Red dragon sangria for $6 ± pork belly for $4 at Hong Kong Street cart. Bulgogi taco from Fire belly.
JakubOctober 10, 2012Red Hook Lobster Pound. The most amazing lobster roll in all of NYC (at least compared to Chelsea Market and Ed's Lobster Bar - both of which are great too).
Roberta's is not to be missed. Best pizza in NY is now accessible to a Manhattan crowd. Get the bee sting pizza, or their seasonal special with kale and sirracha.
Geoffroy BablonSeptember 28, 2014Roberta's fall seasonal special, with squash, ricotta, honey and cranberries, takes pizza to a whole other level.
Leah KoppermanSeptember 10, 2014Delicious vegetarian and gluten free noodle salads and summer rolls. Vegan options. Tasty!
LPMcMay 4, 2014Vegetarian empanadas from La Sonrisa, Pear/Walnut/Gorgonzola crepe from Bar Suzette, and anything EVERYTHING!) from Momofuku Milk Bar!!

Nico V.September 17, 2014Go on the earlier side if possible and post up on a table, taking shifts with your friends to grab your food and hold the space.
Alexandra DoucetteMay 20, 2013Go to Mason Jar at the very end! They have amazing short rib grilled cheese bites and great beers. Definitely recommend stopping by.
They have Momofuku Milk Bar! #fistpump definitely try the Red Hook Lobster Pound too.
Sean SmithOctober 4, 2015Love coming here for either late lunch, or some quick evening dinner. Sandwiches from Mayhem and Stout or Sigmunds are among my favorite stops.
Sass ConfOctober 5, 2013Some of New York's most popular restaurants and chefs coming together in one outdoor market. Can't go wrong with anything here!
Try the teriyaki balls at Mimi and Coco NY- first time I had them last year I was perplexed but a great snack !
- Molly FreemanOctober 9, 2013Some of the best food in NYC all in one little spot. Definitely check it out. Great place to sit outside for lunch.
Instant cure to lunch indecisiveness, order small and try a couple places (also good excuse to order second beer).
Daniel SantosMay 11, 2013Go to Seoul Lee Korean BBQ and get their Chicken Wings and Taco Sampler. Their beer is also good & staff is awesome!
1lostnewyorkerOctober 24, 2013One has to try Melt's Lovelet, Sliders The Bomb and grilled avocados and the sinfully delicious bacon on bacon- Try the meatballs from Mighty Meatballs near the main entrance. Be careful though of the African Onion sauce, truly is spicy but delicious.
Red Hook Lobster rolls are amazing and I can't stop getting the Seoul Food bibimbap beef bugolgi rice bowls.
CoverMay 20, 2014Check out the offerings of Pig & Khao and The Cannibal, two restaurants where you can use Cover to pay and dine without waiting for the check.
Love the variety and the fact that it's outdoors! Macaron parlour is my go-to for a treat
Samy SMay 8, 2013Chili salted shrimp from HK street cart and pork belly bacon grilled cheese from The Cannibal. Both awesome.
Steve ColemanMay 7, 2013Everything is good: Go where the LINE is SHORTEST, and have someone else LOCK DOWN A TABLE for you!!
Cassie L.May 7, 2012Cannoli from the sicilian food vendor right next to eatalys vendor was the best cannoli I have ever had in 22 yrs here and in Italy- Michael Fox-RabinovitzSeptember 27, 2015Great set of tasty foods conveniently packed into a small area. Lots of BBQ burger and lobster
Elle F.September 21, 2016Semi Annual Pop Up Culinary Market, Lots of Food Vendors. Operates During Part of the Spring and Fall.
Try the "McRib" from Baby Got Back Ribs. BBQ pulled pork sandwich from rib meat. So good.
Vuk MilanovicOctober 22, 2015Great concept, tasty food, great beer and a nice selection of vendors. Highly recommended.
jin kimOctober 3, 2012try pear, walnut and Gorgonzola crepe at bar Suzette. they added a little bit of honey which makes this crepe more flavorful.
Mayhem and Stout is a must-have. New, long picnic tables provide way better seating than before.
Cold noodles from Hong Kong Kitchen Cart are the joint. Great price, filling & nice folks serving
Emily PaiMay 22, 2013Must get Asiadog's watermelon soju served in a carved watermelon bowl so refreshing, stroooong and shareable!
Vanessa GohMay 15, 2013Try the pork belly bun from the Hong Kong street food cart! And the squid ink risotto arancini.
Anya Lipski WinslowOctober 10, 2012Red Hook Lobster Pound ... Their shrimp and lobster rolls are out if controll GREAT!!
The pizzas at Roberta's Pizza are spectacular. Try the Speckenwolf. Delicious.
