Hideo Kuribara's Houston Street restaurant is a favorite among chefs and sushi purists, and, thankfully, it's moderately priced by New York sushi standards. [Eater 38 Member]
The menu has lots of shareable salads and vegetable dishes, as well as lightly composed seafood plates, "pains Tunisiens," pastas, bouillabaisse, chicken tagine, grilled lamb, and hanger steak. Read more.
Mario Batali's now-classic West Village townhouse restaurant where pastas and offal dishes may redefine what you think of Italian food Read more.
One of our favorite restaurants for upscale Japanese sushi and more (cocktails, too). Though prices are far from cheap, Neta offers a much better value than Manhattan's sushi giants.
This low-key venue features some tremendous blues artists. The atmosphere is very intimate, come here for a nice date or fun night out.
Love love love this dark cozy restaurant. Good wine, delicious food, atmosphere is great for a date or dinner with friends.
They don't look that big but $8 for 2 Lahem bi ajine is a really good deal. They're crispy, soft on the inside and the meat remains tender and juicy. Grab a $1 rose water soaked baklava to go!
Boozy creative cocktails with a strong bourbon and scotch leaning menu. A welcome reprieve from the madness of Macdougal street. The Nampara Cove was an old fashioned riff with pisco and scotch mist.
I'm fairly carnivorous, but this vegan food is legit delicious (and super good value). The pesto meatball sandwich was great.
