Sit downstairs. Order the Fried Pickles, Jucy Luicy, Crack Kale and warm Chocolate Chip cookie (with milk!)
Go all the way to the back, the very back to find an enclosed garden that feels great in winter or summer. And order the rosemary chicken sandwich. Yes they have more than good coffee here.
Open the little drawer inside one of the tables and you will find a notebook filled with things that random people have written. Feel free to add something yourself. Its really cool to see what othe
2-hour wait on a Friday night, but try and find a place at the bar - it's worth it. The beets in avocado and chicken were incredible.
Plan ahead for the prix fixe Sunday Supper (amazing meal for $24!). Check @northernspyfood around 5pm on Sunday for that night's supper menu.
The burger isn't on the menu - just ask for it. Freaking amazing. Poutine also delicious. Literally the food dreams are made of.
Come early for dinner of Bacon Peanut Brittles, Grilled Pork Belly, Buttermilk Fried Chicken and finished off with a Dark & Stormy Float. They also have a late night menu.
One of the most amazing spaces in NY: The original kitchen of an early-19th-c Bond St mansion, lovingly restored. Check out the two massive, original cooking hearths on the E wall near the rear.
Pepperoni pizza with vodka sauce or the lasagna for two. Either provide requisite greasy goodness.
Absolutely amazing Italian restaurant with a dark, beautiful interior and brilliant food. -Tressa Williams, Launch My Line
one word. BURRATA!come here Friday evening throughout Sundays to have some great mouth watering ball of cheese! you wont be disappointed!
Don’t stare at the celebrity chef. Get started. Have a pickled martini and a squid-ink soup, fiery and rich. It tastes of brisket and joy. Read more.
Favorite of the LES, Freemans and its designer Taavo Somer are credited with starting a whole new aesthetic both in food and fashion worlds.
The clams, kale, gnocchi and lemon broth app is excellent (and an interesting combo). Pork was very good, and much better than the flank steak.
Favorite bar right now. The decor, music, atmosphere, munchies -- all rad. Tell the bartender what your preferred liquor is, and the mood you're in. S/he will make you a delicious cocktail. Trust.
Great drinks, I recommend sitting at the bar so you can truly appreciate all the work that goes into one glass. Ask questions!
New. Chef Ken Corrow. Mains include a skirt steak with latkes, roasted chicken with sausage, pappardelle with olives, and risotto with duck confit (Menu - http://goo.gl/xmldr | short-and-sweet) Read more.
From the owners of Diner, this Williamsburg raw bar offers a limited but delicious menu. Read more.
Menu changes daily so I can't tell you what to order, but I'm pretty positive you'll leave here happy. Great staff, great food, great ambience.
Best grilled salmon, best scallops, best oysters to be found in the East Village. Killer $12 oysters & beers happy hour too. Nothing on the menu disappoints.
feels wonderfully out of place on the upper east side. fried pickles. yum. also, spiced meat sandwich. also, beer.
The menu features many of the cocktails you know/love from Elsa (New Partner, Broken Mirror, Death of a Ladies Man), with a few notable additions (Boxer Beetle, hot drinks). No snacks yet, though!
Perfect place to enjoy cocktails after a show at Radio City - a real midtown gem. You might be tempted to order every drink on the menu...
Adorable, dimly lit wine bar in the neighborhood. Split a bottle of lambrusco with a best friend or significant other.
Sweet talk the hostess and score a table/sofa in the back room. Order your favorite fizz to show you mean delicious business.
Try the cocktails in the "short" size. They come in cute, half-sized glasses and are the perfect way to start a delicious meal.
Pretty refined brunch spot. If you can snag a table outside on a nice day, its a great place to drink away a hangover.
Charred octopus and brussels sprouts are amazing! Go for three courses and spread it out.
Step 1: Sit at the downstairs bar (get there early to avoid a crowd). Step 2: Order a cocktail & pasta. Step 3: Repeat step 2.
Perfect chill date spot off the beaten path in Greenpoint. Lots of fancy food but the nachos are the winner.
Super dramatic entrance through an unassuming entrance into this great subterranean bar. Expertly mixed cocktails from Little Branch alums. Recommended!
Love the fat radish plate - filling and delicious veggies in season. All about local, great date spot
A great new offering in the LES from the Death & Co. family. Solid cocktail offerings in a dark space that feels warmer and more personal than other nearby spots.
A fantastic date night spot, though make reservations ahead of time or be prepared for a wait. Snag a seat in the cozy lounge area up front if it's available!
Amazing cocktails, but almost *too* romantic. Be prepared to make out with your companion.
Whatever you get, also get the kale paella. Tables are hard to come by so snag bar seats early and often, and order from the full menu.
