They have half-price cocktails at happy hour! M-F 4:00-7:30. Try the Aleppo Limeade (spicy!) or the Fresh Meadow (sweet + cucumber-y).
Love this place. Delicious pad see ew, tamarind fish, curries, soups... But vegetarians beware, not all their "Vegetable" menu items are vegetarian!
Good Mexican and veggie friendly. My faves include the chipotle enchiladas (spinach or cheese) and the chile blackened green beans. #yum
Dan Dan noodles are a must! Plus, the owners are super sweet. We had a great time and ate a lot. #nyceats
Good food, especially the tandoori salmon! Definitely one of the better places in the area. Service was a bit disorganized, though, even though the place was mostly empty.
Excellent buckwheat noodles, delicate and nuanced broths, and fresh custard-like tofu. Vegetarian and meaty broths are on hand; both are excellent.
Modern Mexican from the Jean-Georges Vongerichten team. The pea guacamole and seasonal dishes are the best things on the menu; chicken and rice also stands out.
Flavorful, filling, greasy, hot, spicy and yes, still vegetarian! Drown in the Hot Idli and Sambar and don’t hesitate to ask for extra ghee!
Get the butter paneer. Kind of an unexpectedly loud atmosphere for an indian restaurant but it was awesome. The music made me want to dance. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Tofu soup is great. I tried the mixed tofu soup and I love it. Spicy lover must try danger spicy and people who want mild spicy should order standards the rib is good too. Seafood pancake is not bad.
Come here for a retreat from the otherwise noisy East Village. Loved the attentive service and unlimited refills of tea--try the Jasmine Pearls green!
Very tasty, cozy and casual Italian restaurant. Try the Fettucine Ai Funghi, the House Meatballs Over Polenta, or share La Spaghettata with a large group!

A hidden gem on 18th street nearby a few of my favorite places like City Bakery and Paper Presentation. Large portions of delicious Japanese food that come in cute lunch sets. Friendly staff!
The maple latte on ice is amazing. A little sweet so try adding an extra shot of espresso! Oh - and the kale scone. You had me at kale ....
The bulgogi dolsot bibimbob is a must. Goon mandoo are amazing. And my friend Kate says the Kimchee Mandoo are the stuff dreams are made of.
Students, locals and celebs all love this classic Ukrainian spot. Some of the city's best banana pancakes, kasha with gravy, matzo ball soup, pierogis and a great cheeseburger. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
From the folks behind Houston Hall, this more intimate beer garden in the beer cellar has great soft pretzels. This place hasn't gotten too hyped up yet, so check it out before the crowds form.
Super friendly staff! Loved the chocolate mint tea and free wifi. For just $5 per person, you can borrow as many games as you want and hang out for as long as you want - open 'til midnight!
