Start with the understated "Bread and butter". Then move on to the spicy sausage + rice cakes are both fantastic. Oysters are a given.
Try the Mac and Chicharrón, a double dose of pork with a silky mix of American and cheddar cheeses, spiked with spicy sambal. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
my new favorite place for shanghai dumplings. the wrappers are so delicate you have to use those pliers to pick these babies up.
Service here is excellent and the food is even better. Recommend the dips, saganaki & moussaka!
Get the fondue for two, a bottle of red (if they don't have an alcohol license yet, ask for the private stash), and finish off with their divine rendition of the pêche Melba.
Ignore the outward appearance and go for the incredible dumplings – for 7 bucks you get 12 or so dumplings – so order lots. We recommend the shrimp and pork dumplings.
It's probably easiest to get a spot here during a weekday lunch, and the duck over rice is so worth it!
In my opinion, DuMont has the best burger in NYC. It's not fancy or unique, but the patty is the perfect thickness, and they've always got nice fresh veggies to top it with.
Unless you hate delicious meats, you need to come here immediately to order: cheek, shio-tan (tongue), belly, heart, short rib. In that order. Actually, double down on the first three.
The best burger in Brooklyn. Yeah, you heard me. The sesame bun is perfect. Fun fact: Owned by former Vinegar Hill House chef.
The burger isn't on the menu - just ask for it. Freaking amazing. Poutine also delicious. Literally the food dreams are made of.
For just $11 at lunch, the tomato soup + half sandwich with spicy capocollo, scarmorza cheese, and red peppers makes a great combo.
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off (and buy that boy a $10 top-notch beverage at this awesome new spot in Alphabet City)
Porchetta or Short Rib Sandwiches. The grocery is also fantastic. Their focaccia baguette is one of my favorite breads in NYC. Lardo, cheeses, coppa, whipped lard... Everything is delicious!
Lupa, Mario Batali's casual, Roman-style trattoria serves classics dishes like, Cacio e Pepe and Bucatini all'Amatriciana.
feels wonderfully out of place on the upper east side. fried pickles. yum. also, spiced meat sandwich. also, beer.
The best Mexican food this Californian has found in NYC. And cheap! Tacos = $2.50 & taste just like the ones you had stumbling out of the bars in Cabo.
Getting a Pimm's cup is usually a cop out, but this is the best one I've ever had on either side of the Atlantic.
The rooftop bar is on the 6th floor and has a beautiful view of the city. Go early, catch the sunset, and then jet to a dive bar before the meatpacking-esque crowd arrives.
Entrance is through the coffee shop, in an unmarked door that blends with the wallpaper. food: kobe sliders. booze: the sling if you like gin, el diablo if you like tequila.
A hidden gem in the fashion district. Authentic French cafe with delicious food and waitresses in French maid outfits.
It's true about the bacon doughnuts. Also, everything is incredible. Especially the foie and the scallops.
Winter time + midweek + Backroom + fireplace = one of the better spots on a cold night in Lower East Side (backup plan: fireplace @ The Delancey). Just watch out for the dbags!
Feels more cool than the food is good (hidden staircase, no sign). Pass on the paella, but shoot for the chinese sausages. ps: BYOB.
Enjoying a burger from the Black Iron Burger Shop, even though I shouldn't-- it's the best in the East Village
Mentor and mentee combine forces for the sake of pizza: Kesté's Roberto Caporuscio and his old mentor, Antonio Starita, opened this Hell's Kitchen spot on Tuesday. อ่านเพิ่มเติม
This is the most amazing place for drinks at sundown. A great view of the city, and a beautiful rooftop. Make sure to dress nice!
Great spot if you're just trying to find a place at night to shoot the shit with friends. Super low key after 9 or so.
fantastic dinner menu and even though it's a Cuban place, they make a fantastic caipirinha. Plus, there's a dude in the corner rolling cigars to make it worth your while.
great spot. Come on a wednesday night and you can hear the guy in the back in a tux singing frank sinatra. he's pretty good. Also, order the clams first then chicken francese for entree
one word. BURRATA!come here Friday evening throughout Sundays to have some great mouth watering ball of cheese! you wont be disappointed!
Get the wings spicy, that's a given. But ALSO get the Khao Man Som Tam. It's so crazily delicious. And the Pandanus water (free!) is tastytown.
It's italian meets tapas meets brunch. Get anything with their super chunky walnut pesto.
A teeny tiny spot with really authentic bluegrass. Don't arrive too late, this place closes at midnight!
On Monday nights, The Sidewalk Cafe hosts NYC's most prestigious Open Mic Night where folks like Jeff Buckley and Beck got their start.
Eat this FTW: carrot & avocado salad, mushroom egg pizza, burger and DEF leave room for the ice cream sundae. It's truly life changing! Everything else is delicious but those are my standouts.
Try the chickwich. It is cooked to order and piping hot. And ask for really hot fries. Worth the wait. Wish they offered lemon meringue pie more often!
