If you're ever here for dinner, order the scallops (ordered per person). Super fresh and prepared well.

Spacious, loud, and packed with patrons, servers and steaming carts of food, everything you want in a dim sum restaurant. And the food is MUCH better than what you find in Chinatown.
Grab a seat at the bar or in the small outside space. Then order up a WeissWurst, Landjager, Pork Schnitzel and The Prime Meats Burger with Bacon.
We love coming here for drinks at the bar, as well as a game of pool. Once day we’ll have to try the food, we heard brunch is great, as are the burgers.
Enjoy awesome views of Manhattan while you devour tacos Al Pastor, or Lengua or Cabeza. Be daring with your choices and you’ll be rewarded.

Keep an ear to the ground for the return of the Donut Burger! Otherwise, enjoy a fresh Beef Burger with Pepper Jack, Caramelized Onions & Applewood Bacon.
Choose one of the extravagant banquets filled with home-cooked food and VODKA and stay for the entertainment. Make sure you bring a full wallet!
Excellent and authentic Ukranian perogies. Try the borsch, the Vareniki Moscow and the Chicken Stroganoff. Don’t forget to order a glass of Compote.
Come with a group and eat family style, and its BYOB! The menu is simple and you should try as much as you can! It definitely won’t break the piggy bank either.
Great and inexpensive Vietnamese food served by twin waitresses. Try the #1 Pho with an order of Spring Rolls or Calamari.
One man, one counter, one dollar, and a whole lot of flavor. Get here early to enjoy these delicious tamales, El Senor’s food usually sells out by 1pm.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in all five boroughs. We’ve waxed poetic before, but forgot to mention the White Salad and the Faro Salad, both hidden gems.
For a light lunch, try the Chopped Salad – it’s perfect. For a light dinner (or as a starter) the Noodle Salad is a must.
Serrano Ham and Manchego: Salty, sweet, spicy, bitter—this Serrano and Manchego sandwich from beer-fiend destination Bierkraft covers all the bases. Read more.
Grilled Cheese and Plantain: A heaping mound of shredded cheddar and Gruyère melted into an oozy pool kept in check by butter-soaked grain bread, and the soft fried plantains added sweetness and heft. Read more.

The chicken tinga is all you will ever need. A must stop if you love Mexican and are in the area. Beats Kelloggs anyday.
$2 tacos! Vegetarian ones are packed and way more filling than the meat tacos. Chimichangas, guac, & quesadillas also tasty. Mexican Coke (that means real sugar- no high fructose corn syrup!)
Plenty of good eating on the menu with smoked pork belly, strip steak served 2 ways, mussels steamed in beer with chorizo, and seared scallops in grain mustard foie gras butter - beers go for $4 a cup
We love the Entrana steak that comes served on a cross section of a tree with chimichurri sauce, salsa and a poblano puree.

Established 1887 as "Carl Luger's Café, Billiards and Bowling Alley" in the then-predominantly German neighborhood. Mostly continuously operated. Named best steakhouse 28 years in a row.

Our favorite spot for Thai in BK. We recommend the Tom Yum Koong, Spicy Noodles, and Chicken Pad Thai.

This place is fantastic. Order the Omakase and they'll include japanese horse mackerel. It's possibly the most delicious fish served raw and cooked (you'll get both with the Omakase).
As someone who prides himself on being a rotisserie chicken connoisseur, the birds here are top notch. The whole wheat mac and cheese + chopped salad make for a great combo.
Can you say you've ever had a dry-aged Rib eye & Bison Burger covered with melted foie, pickled veggies, fried egg, and shaved black truffle? Not until you've been here. Read more.
