This is an amazing little middle eastern/Druze cooking. My friend turned me on to it on my last trip to NYC. Incredible, authentic food. Really fresh and interesting -Susan Feniger, Top Chef
I would forgo Thomas Keller’s fancy Per Se without ever looking back if I could eat lunch every day at his casual spot, Bouchon. The selection of dreamy pastries and sweets is unprecedented. -Gail Sim

As an UWS-er, I don't know what I'd do without Lansky's. It's my go-to restaurant. I've been going since it opened, and I've never had a bad meal. An UWS staple. You won't regret it!
Ask for the homemade Ricotta Gnocchi. Fresh, delicious and superb! Little Italy just moved to the Upper West Side.
The newest of the 3 Smith restaurants, this one is a welcome addition to the area. We love to start with the potato chips and blue cheese fondue, followed by the lobster roll or roasted chicken salad.
