Another Mario Batali restaurant, Lupa is a nice casual place with classic Italian dishes and a nice atmosphere. Try one of their pastas, we recommend the Ricotta Gnocchi.
This Italian pizzeria has a fun atmosphere with a huge selection of wine, but the highlight of the menu? Their clam pizza, yum!
A block from Washington Square Park, Mario Batali's upscale Italian restaurant is superb. We recommend the pasta tasting menu and the beef cheek ravioli!
A student's haven for late night studying, come here for good coffee, free wifi, and a very underrated grilled cheese sandwich!
Just south of Union Square, this specialty dessert bar makes some delectable chocolaty treats. We highly recommend the chocolate pizza!
A beautiful park and a must see for any visitor. It's perfect when you just want to sit on a bench and read a book or do some people watching. On nice days you can find all sorts of live music too.
Casual Japanese spot in the East Village, we love the pork buns but you can't go wrong with the ramen either.
After a night of drinking, burning the roof of your mouth on these amazing Belgian fries is the least of your worries. Overwhelmed by the choices for sauce? Don't be - ask to try them all.
Small location that packs a tasty punch. Our favorite is the Crack Pie, it tastes like caramel and just melts in your mouth.
Do you love mac n cheese? Then you won't know what to do with yourself here. Flavors from buffalo chicken to cajun to masala to philly cheesesteak, our mouths are watering already!
Everyone knows about the great hot dogs here (especially the deep fried dog), but walking through the phone booth is a little hidden gem we love.
One of the City's best spots to people watch. Go on a Saturday afternoon, check out the busy Farmer's Market, and chuckle at some of the interesting characters you're bound to see.
Everyone who has been to Belgium can tell you that Belgians really know their waffles. Surprisingly, this little food truck in NYC does the trick! Try the Brussels Waffle, it is yummy.
Brandt Beef brisket and Cabot clothbound Cheddar (both house-smoked) with pickled onions, aïoli, chile jam, and cilantro on toasted Parisi bread. (apparently best in the city...from grubstreet) Read more.
