Taco al pastor all the way. If you love cilantro like I do, ask the guy to throw some Cs on that.
Expect the wait to be at least 15-20 minutes if you're going during primetime. Two words: crack sauce.
Chicken parm roll for lunch is sufficient enough for food coma and little to no work productivity post-meal. Yum.
Obviously, get a fresh young coconut to go with yo' Malaysian meal. Favorites = homemade roti, mango chicken, and spare ribs.
If you want to go OG, order #1 with mango chutney. If you want something flavorful, order #9 with mango chutney. Won't be disappointed.
Cheap Italian that surprisingly tastes better than some more upscale restos. The hearty spaghetti bolognese and the spicy pappardelle are my favorites.
This has always been a pre-dinner drinks spot for me. And will continue to be that. Not overly impressed with their food. The wine list is impressive.
One of my all-time favorite Italian restos in NYC. Everything is good here. Try the seasonal dishes and of course, la saltimbocca.
Good looking Aussies hang out here 24/7. Maybe because it's also owned by Aussies. In any case, the salads here are fresh and amazing. Love the pear & walnut version best.
The lunch specials are perfect here. So many salads, sammies, and wraps to choose from. Also, they offer a pretty decent chai latte here. Worth noting.
This is one of my go-to "cute" places. Between the build-a-biscuit, pastry case, Stumptown Roasters coffee, and Southern-inspired menu, I end up here a lot. Try the grits if you're really hungry.
The meatball smash is great. When I want to go "lighter," I opt for the Everything But the Kitchen Sink deal. Which in reality, isn't thaaat much lighter.
Great place for dates — especially if you snag the window-facing booths. That plus carafes of wine = success.
Vegan-friendly! I sat at the bar and the service was fast, efficient, and the food was equally commendable. I had the gnocchi... but would go back for a proper pizza.
The pizza here is so damn good. Diavola, D.O.C, Reginella, San Daniele, and the Romeo pizza all get top honors. Sit outside on a nice night. It's heaven.
Amazing mash-up cuisine... Italian meets Japanese food. The pork belly buns, potato gratin w/ sea urchin, spicy lamb bolognese ramen, and miso-infused filet mignon tataki are all must-try items.
Try the cha sha tofu if you're into chicken/tofu stirfry. It's the ultimate and so delicious.
Great food & drinks. Right now, the whiskey smash is made w/ fresh peaches instead of apricots. TRY. The burrata & gin pairing board, olive oil-poached halibut, & flat iron steak are amazing.
All about the market sides here. In other Westville news, the french toast is yummy as is their three-cheese mac-and-cheese for late night snacking.
Handmade pasta — you can watch them making it. Recos = polpettine di carne, fagottino, arugula insalate, malloreddus, orechiette, and agnolotti.
Modern Italian with focus on pasta. Try the crostini salami, lasagna al forno, pasta al ragu. I thought about the ragu for days after. TMI?
Delicious ramen when you don't feel like waiting a couple hours at Ippudo. I usually go for the miso ramen (pretty basic) but it does the trick. Gyoza is bomb here too.
