You're probably already here, so my tip to GO BEFORE OPENING is probably wasted on you. So I'll just say, GET A WHOLE PIE. Round or square. Both great. It's not worth the wait for only a slice or two. Read more.
My two favorite pizzas here are the brussels sprout and pancetta pie and the cherrystone clam pizza. But you really can't go wrong with whatever calls to you on the menu. Read more.
Owner Paul Giannone has a gift for great topping combos. My favorites are the Anise & Anephew and the Hellboy (hot soppressata & spicy honey). For brunch, the Monte Cristo is absolutely craveworthy. Read more.
Almost all the pizza here is great, but the grandma slice and grandma slice with pickled vegetable are KILLER. Also? BEST MEATBALL SUB in the city. Read more.
First-class pizza in all respects, but there are a couple of unique items here. Try the montanara, a pizza whose crust is first FRIED(!) then baked. The carbonara is an interesting brunch option. Read more.
A sister pizzeria to Luzzo's in the East Village, but I think even better. Don't miss the pizza a cono (cone pizza), which seems gimmicky but is actually really good. Read more.
Solid wood-fired-oven pizza from an alumnus of Paulie Gee's. Clam pie is very good. Get it. And is this weird, but the Bibb salad is nice, too. Read more.
Hidden Gem! Real yummy greek restaurant. By far the best in east side and could easily compete with Kyklades and Pylos. Things to order: octopus, spicy cheese, mousakka , salad #yum
If you are a legit fan of Chinese-Styled beef noodle soup, you find the place, they hire famous chef from Taiwan and present this flawless dish. Moreover, crab soup dumpling, sake mussels, ice cream.
sometimes you just need something simple: spaghetti with baby meatballs. just like you used to make them when you were little
Get the fried chicken, biscuits, pork chop, shrimp and grits, & meatloaf- a shredded, $24 square of short rib disguised as brownie. Finish off with banana cream pie or mint chocolate cake. Read more.
Well-priced, upscale Japanese with amazing appetizers. Especially the crispy rice, rock shrimp, yellowtail ceviche & white stone roll.
Dreams come true! Think Xian with more options and seating in a nice space. Order the young chicken noodles, big enough for two. Start with the skewers. Tip: mild is already spicy
Excellent quality, always consistent throughout the years! Excellent, Friendly and Efficient staff, one of the top top Italian restaurants in the world! You simply can't go wrong ordering anything!
You can't go wrong with anything here but my favorites are the Basmati rice (Selle) and the scallop curry
