Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 263 tips and reviews
Meredith Blechman: Incredibly creative vegan food. The pesto meatball sandwich is my favorite - served like a hotdog, and all the ingredients jive perfectly.

Bagel Shop · NoLita · 227 tips and reviews
Andrew Choi: These Montréal-style bagels are small & will cost you more than what you're used to, but you can't resist trying the tobiko spread, salmon, & butter lettuce on an everything bagel. Worth the wait!

Café · Lower East Side · 301 tips and reviews
Brand New: Don't miss the super heebster toast or the pickled herring trio. Then do any of the boards, a lower east side, and cap it off with some chocolate babka french toast.
Japanese Restaurant · Cobble Hill · 156 tips and reviews
F. Bastard: If this isn't the best Japanese food in Brooklyn I'm....guilty of overstatement. Try the house-made tofu (I like the agadashi), banzai (small plates), pressed sushi. Great value at lunch.

Sushi Restaurant · SoHo · 292 tips and reviews
Ryan Ambs: Go around 7 and put your name on the list then grab a drink around the corner while you wait. Good place for dates. Can be expensive but won't break the bank like some other sushi spots.

Tom: 🍣👍Masters at their craft. Bar seating comes at a premium, which is warranted in my opinion but sushi is also great in dinning room. Service is top notch. Chef Nakazawa is currently off on weekends.
