It may be Ed's Lobster Bar, but we love the fried Ipswich clams. They're juicy and nicely briny, with a clean crunch. So good you probably won't even need the accompanying lemon or tartar sauce!
Dosas are light, crispy rice and lentil based crepes, and best one here is filled with spiced chutney curry chicken, spinach, and balsamic roasted onions. Top with cilantro chutney for foodgasm.
Pretzels and croissants are so amazing on their own, it's a wonder no one thought to combine them earlier. Thankfully, Birdbath took on the task and created this flaky, salty, sesame-studded treat.
Perhaps the most Soho of Soho restaurants, Balthazar's goat cheese and caramelized onion tart is the ultimate gooey savory prelude to a delicious, Francophilic, comfort food filled meal.
The pikilia platter features three meze, with pita and stuffed grape leaves is a steal at $12.50. For the rest of your meal it's easy to eat meat-free with creamy tzatsiki, feta, and skordalia.
Pretty much everything on this sandwich shop's menu is a good choice, but our favorite is the Da Vinci: sardines or mackerel layered with sun-dried tomatoes and Bel Paese cheese on a plank of bread.
The whitefish salad Banh Mi has some serious fusion flavor. All that's wonderful about Jewish cuisine – the smoked fish, the excess – with jalapenos, pickled carrots and daikon and cilantro. It works.
The udon here is great, but some even better bites (cold burdock root or yuba with crab) can be found in the ever changing, seasonal, multi-course special meal. Expensive, but oh so worth it.
It's hard to go wrong with a toothsome pasta filled with truffled mascarpone, in a silky rich butter sauce, but they do it best here. The cappelletti with a sprinkle of prosciutto is the way to go.
