Great place for brunch, sparkling water on the house. Get the Chips with melted blue cheese and chives to start
very busy place, huge portions, and damn good food and drink. bbq chicken biscuit sandwich the buffalo mac & cheese are the BEST. get a cocktail and a growler of beer with your food and die happy.
Head to "midnight brunch" between 12am- 4am for a killer burger, steak and eggs, or the Bob Harris Ramen with spicy beef and miso broth. Read more.
Vanessa’s is best known for its cheap eponymous dumplings, but the sesame pancakes — warm bread stuffed with pickled vegetables and either duck, beef, chicken, or egg — are the real stars.
Not your grandmother’s babka. Breads’ version tastes less like dried-out coffee cake and more like challah French Toast, delicately striped with super-high quality chocolate.
Sesame Seed is the ice cream flavor you never knew you needed. Soy Sauce flavor is sometimes available here, too — it tastes surprisingly like salted caramel.
A perfect iteration of Staten Island thin crust pizza. Try the, M.O.R., which stands for meatball onion ricotta.
Instead of waiting in an hour-long line for grumpy service at Di Fara, enjoy Brooklyn’s actual best pizza (maybe) with a square slice here.
Fun atmosphere, great drinks and free popcorn! If you’re a Guinness fan this is a must-visit!
It seems like the city's best pizza is all centered in the West Village. Joe's is just another amazing spot for a slice. If you love thin crust, you'll get one of the city's best here.
Come here for a casual lunch and get the smoky mac and cheese with bacon. Creamy, cheesy deliciousness.
If it ain't broke don't fix it, and Chef Jonathan Waxman's Pollo Al Forno has been the main seller here since it opened. The crispiness of the skin and moistness of the meat, it doesn't disappoint.
If you love dumplings as much as me you have to eat these awesome soup dumplings!! They will be on your table before you put the menu down. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef
We dream of the pork buns and pork sausage & rice cakes here, but if you have to choose, get the pork buns and experience taste buds heaven.
You simply must try the stuffed mushroom appetizer and the Manicotti main dish! Read more.
Pastrami is INSANE. Something everyone must try once in their life, even if only visiting NYC, and especially if living here.
Best steakhouse in NYC. the porterhouse is the way to go. Don't miss the bacon appetizer. if you're lucky enough to go for lunch, get the burger. It's made from their dry-aged beef and it's only $12!
Best burger you'll ever eat in your life : Black Label - but do yourself a favor and get roasted sweet potatoes on the side instead of fries , they are AMAZING!
Skip other dishes and make sure you order somtum, be it Thai or Lao style (with fermented fish), fried chicken, and sticky rice. Given I'm a Thai who loves somtum, I know what I'm talking about ;)
it's all about the peking duck. the branzino skin chips are heavenly as are the steak, the bass, the pork belly, the oxtail dumplings, and the four gras tarts. drinks are good and atmosphere is A+
The #6 wontons in hot oil are just as good as everyone says. The place itself is tiny and super cute. We went on a rainy Sunday a little before noon and it was just us (and our wontons).
Go off-peak or be prepared to wait for some of the creamiest ice cream in unique flavors like green tea pistachio and vietnamese coffee. The salted caramel pretzel is salty sweet perfection.
You really can't go wrong with your order. Personal faves are the salty pimp, the gobbler, and the mermaid
The eggplant marinara doesn't sound like much, but is easily the best thing on the menu.
