Absolutely love the renovation. Fantastic Caribbean inspired food--the jerk pork is delicious. Definitely grab an alcoholic slushie to cool down!
Staff Pick! Danny (Exhibitions): A hole-in-the-wall kitchen covering your Caribbean needs. I like to get the spicy jerk chicken and head over to the nearby park to enjoy.
Project 1 is a deconstructed latte flight separating lightly pasteurized milk, espresso and a composed latte into three stemmed glasses to highlight each individual flavor. Read more.
The 🍞 is 😋 as is the 🐔 liver mousse. The kohlrabi bisque is a dish you'll be back for again and again. The 🐔 for 2 is good, though not as complex as you'll be hoping for.
Great food,drinks and waitstaff!!! Try the "Man about town" Cocktail! #Blokeapproved!
Hidden above Five Guys burgers, walk to the very back of the fast food joint and up a wooden staircase. It’s the type of spot where you can start day drinking at 2pm on Saturdays. Read more.
Head over to Calle Dão, a Cuban-Chinese restaurant from Marco Britti, of Favela Cubana. Expect items like duck empanadas, peking-style roast chicken, and plátano maduro with black sesame ice cream. Read more.
Push on the unmarked door, and beeline for the house specialty, pulque. Try it infused in a curado of jicama and lime: Read more.
Cocktails how you want them at West Village newcomer The Happiest Hour, opening next week. Try the Little Red Dress, made with strawberry, cocoa and soda. It goes well with rum, red wine, or vodka. Read more.
These noodles are like a cross between the common udon we are familiar with and Italian linguine. The simplest, featuring fried bean curd or egg comes with seaweed or tempura (pick veg. or shrimp).
This place is awesome! The cocktails are crazy unique. Definitely recommend the bacon tator tots, scallop dish and lamb! So good and great service!
Delicious Sichuan food! I love the dry pot style. Mild is already pretty spicy so be careful!
Great addition to Alphabet City, newly opened last Wed 12/02/15! Stumbled upon this neighborhood gem, fantastic experience. Creative cocktail program and delicious menu. A tad pricey for the area.
We had an amazing meal here. Bold, adventurous cocktails to start; oysters, New Zealand venison and cod were all superb. The menu changes daily here so we'll be back to try the tasting menu next time.
Whether you need a place to catch up with a friend or get some work done, Spreadhouse is the cafe! Beautiful open space, great coffee/wine/beer and snacks. Oh and free wifi. GREAT playlist too!
With equally strong wine, beer, and cocktail menus, this is a place to please every drinker.
The menu has rotisserie chicken, roast beef, chicken fried pork cheeks, and Swedish American meatballs, plus sides like onion strings, pepperoni bread, and egg drop soup. Read more.
Brought to you by Rangers players Henrik Lundqvist and Sean Avery, we love to come here for the delicious kale salad and meatballs. This place is very aptly named, as it really is tiny!
Trending this week in NYC is the American/ Italian joint Pasquale Jones. We recommend you try one of the delicious pizzas, like the Little Neck Clam pizza, and have drinks off the extensive wine list. Read more.
The house pride is sticky rice, a Laos staple. It’s tight-packed but not oily nor gluey. Served with a mild, chutney-like tomato dip and, much better, atom-splitting bang-bang sauce. Read more.
So so ice cream but it's fun to watch them make it with liquid nitrogen. The process takes 5-10 mins and they have three machines. The waffle is including in the price but is not that good either.
Chancellor cocktail is amazing! Perfectly balanced. Music starts around 9pm. Better reserve a table as it gets crazy packed.
What goes well with perfect roast chicken? Pasta, of course. New to the menu is a rich potato-dumpling dish with sweet delicata squash and walnut pesto, it's called the Gnocchi e Zucca ($19). Read more.
This new farm-to-table Southeast Asian cafe has unique atmosphere with 60's style lamps and stripes all around. The food is equally as unique with coconut-braised short ribs as the headliner. Read more.
The service is wonderful as well as the food, and it's a much needed spot in Alphabet City. The chef and staff are so great! The goat curry is amazing (and the home made ice cream comes on a stick!).
The menu changes daily, but if by chance you spot the parsnips, cut and cooked to look and taste like risotto…well…get them while you can.
We could recommend ten different things, but we couldn't stop eating the scones with clotted cream and jam.
So much fun to do with a group. We had 9 and it was perfect. If you really want to cook you can but if you want to sit back and drink unlimited wine, they're cool with that too. Highly recommended!
Barista is super friendly and made a delicious peppermint mocha as well as creating a bear latte art for me!
Trending this Week is the beautiful rooftop bar Mr. Purple. It sits on top of the Indigo Hotel with two terraces, one of which houses a pool and its own bar, and a spectacular view of NYC. Read more.
Beautiful sister bar of Elsa (RIP) designed by the brothers of hOmE. The "Boxer, Beetle" is perfect, but really can't go with any cocktail on the menu.
Once you've gotten past the doorman (with a reservation or a little creativity) you'll be treated to some of the most entertaining, and unbelievably naughty acts. Dressing up is highly encouraged!
One of our favorite places to come for fresh, consistently great pasta. Our favorites are the orecchiette and the gnocchi.
Beautiful decor! Your date will love it here. The service is friendly. The green tea crepes cake is on the mushy side and you can't taste each layer. Recommend for larger groups too!
Super cute date spot w an evolving seasonal menu, brought to you by alums from Per Se and Eleven Madison. Octopus was my fav hands down & the dessert is not to be missed!
Order Williamsburg's newest drink, The Switchel. It's traditional mountain soda made with house-made apple cider vinegar aged in bourbon barrels with fresh ginger and maple. Read more.

A breathtaking brand new bar is in the neighborhood...such an artsy space, good drinks, better crowd and super cute charming bartenders. Try the bell pepper margarita. I love it here!
Amazing drinks & must try beef tartar! Great for a special occasion. Very cozy warm atmosphere.
Show up at, say, 3:30 p.m. on a Saturday and a path is clear to the back, where a jumble of benches, stools and swivel tables surrounds an adorable, Jetsons-style fireplace. Read more.
Start with any of the pies, especially the King Salami or Paul's Boutique (Katz Pastrami) and end with the "branded" chocolate cake. Oh the apps are great too :)
Gorgeous, minimalist, mid-century-ish interior with low lighting. Great outdoor space, good music (sometimes there's a DJ but never too loud). Beer is on point!
The menu includes crispy calamari, an iceberg wedge, fluke crudo, 4 types of pasta, rotisserie chicken, and a dry-aged steak. Read more.
Friendliest staff who will remember you every time. Fantastic food with some creative flare (lamb nachos, for example). And half price bottles of wine on Sundays! Love this place.
Check out the Japanese beers in the fridge. Order two and make sure to drink em out of the shot glasses they offer. Then ask Nick behind the bar to queue up some Journey... and break shit!
Coffee is served alongside comfort fare like a Berkshire pork katsu or a tamago sandwich (Osaka's answer to egg salad). Read more.
Beautiful, spacious cafe with great Korean doughnuts (ho-dduk) best topped with ice cream.
Keep it simple with the steak tartare, made with top-notch, grass-fed beef that's mixed up with a little tomato confit, shallots, chive, and some sweet mustard. Read more.
Solid cocktail list, bartenders are super-knowledgable and the owner is Italian. Get the Buttero cocktail, Italian guanciale infused old fashioned! Spettacolare!
Take a cue from this family-run mini empire and go all-in with a family-style meal of mujadara, mantee and sour-cherry-sauced beef kebabs: Read more.
A longtime West Chelsea mainstay. Check out the ancient espresso machine. If you want to venture beyond their great croissants, they have a super-rich almond brioche toast, and a nice coffee eclair.
