Snag a seat on the patio when it's nice out at this adorable, tucked away bar in SoHo. The cocktail list is extensive, you'll have a hard time deciding what to order, but we recommend the Tiger's Eye.
The new location features a few additions, like a pie topped with Katz's pastrami. During brunch, Speedy Romeo offers a grilled pizza topped with gravlax, ricotta, red onions, and capers. Read more.
This is really one of the coolest places I've been to in my 10 years in NYC. You HAVE to go. Read more.
Sample quirky treats like the decadent Salty Pimp, a chocolate-dipped vanilla cone with dulce de leche and sea salt. The shop is small, so get your cones to-go. Read more.
If the Cote De Boeuf (ribeye... with bone marrow bernaise sauce served in a bone!) is on the menu get it get it get it cause it's the most delicious thing ever! (good for 3-way split too)
A big yum on this one. Hang out at the sushi bar like a pro. This Iron Chef namesake restaurant didn’t miss a step on the décor.
Executive Chef Daniel Humm (also of NoMad) earned top honors as our 2013 Chef of the Year, in part due to the reinvented tasting menu here—a hymn for Gotham’s dining history. Read more.
Fried chicken: Do it! We like the Korean better than the Southern-style here but the fried chicken sides are by far the best in city. Reservations are getting a little easier to come by too! Read more.
Very hip, modern, Japanese atmosphere, great music and delicious Ramen noodles! Don't come here on a weekend during prime lunch/dinner hours unless you want to wait 3.5 hours for a table.

The Buvette chef's take on rustic Italian small plates with rustic West Village decor. Equally tasty, great value ($90 dinner for two with wine), and the perfect date spot. Crostini are all great.
Trendy, inventive Mexican food that is 30% too expensive for small portions -- but worth trying anyways. Awesome tequila / mescal cocktails. Uni tostada with bone marrow and burrita are great.
Be adventurous. The crazier it sounds, the better it tastes: smoked duck drumettes,bone marrow with beef cheek jam, tripe w/ blood sausage. Pay with Cover and skip waiting for the check!
"On a menu full of earthy curiosities—like ... a smoked-catfish-and-pork spread that sounds horrible but tastes wonderful as a dip for market crudités—adventure is its own reward." Read more.
The #1 is what everyone comes here for, but if you're like me and just want good slices of beef in your Pho - no extra pieces you cant identify floating around - #9 is the way to go!
