NYC Fave Places to Eat: From a Local

Sara Bial: Everything here tastes amazingly fresh. The pork ragu pasta is incredible.

Sara Bial: Great wine bar, with tasty snacks.

Sara Bial: Probably my favorite Italian place in the city (so far). The cacio e pepe is to die for.

Sara Bial: The menu itself is great, but they usually have specials that are incredible.

Sara Bial: Love the ambiance here. Food and service is great. During the summer, you can pick up a picnic basket from them and head over to eat in a park.

Sara Bial: Sit at the back bar, where you can dine and watch the food prepared. Great experience. Hard to get reservations, though.

Sara Bial: Great food. They are not a 'burger place', but they happen to have an amazing burger. Only problem with this place is the location. There isn't much else around it.

Sara Bial: Consistently good food. And, pretty sure the entire staff is actually French. Makes you feel like it is the real deal.

Sara Bial: Get the duck schwarma.
