A meal here might include Southern-style white shrimp, rich pork rillettes, crispy squid with green onions, bright scallop ceviche, and spicy chopped tuna on toast. Read more.
Head to this all-day cafe from the team behind century-old appetizing shop Russ & Daughters for smoked fish platters, caviar, blintzes, borscht, scrambled eggs with lox, and latkes with salmon roe. Read more.
Cosme is the chic Flatiron District restaurant from Enrique Olvera, one of Mexico's most famous chefs. Standouts include uni tostada, burrata with salsa verde, and the show-stopping carnitas for two. Read more.
The specials are the dishes to order at Diner (and yes, the servers still write them down on the table), but you can always get the excellent burger and a serious steak, too. Read more.
Amazing brunch. Two words: sourdough pancakes. Also, enjoy a La Colombe brew. #winning
Eat gingersnap pancakes in the greenhouse or sip tea near the library, and you’ll feel like a tourist in your own city. Read more.
Expect perfect oysters, lovingly prepared off-cuts of meat, tangy homemade ferments, and seasonal vegetables. Natural wines, smart-but-not-smart-ass cocktails, and local suds keep everyone loose. Read more.
The whole menu here is great but the pastas are what steal the show: the cuttlefish puttanesca, sea urchin spaghetti and goat fazzoletti all deliver
Eggplant, vegan dumplings and mapo lo mein. This is going to be your new favorite restaurant. Great atmosphere.
Amazing place if you like spicy food. A great sampler: namtok pork, coconut crab curry and the tom yum goong soup
Smart, stylish, yummy. Had the breakfast sandwich with a side of hash. Very messy but very tasty.
Cozy, dimly lit, not overly crowded. Creative cocktails. Be warned that they only take cash.
The screen door slam is a great introductory bourbon drink with a good dose of sweetness, but still strong enough for an old-fashioned fan to enjoy.
Truffle popcorn bar snacks and $1 oysters at happy hour. My fave pick for an early weekday cocktail (pay attention to specials)
