This place is amazing. Get a seat at the bar to watch the bartenders work their magic. Prime rib burger, steak frites, grilled sardines, and hamachi crudo. And don't forget the chocolate souffle!
Get the JFC, Tofu Coney Island to start, then hit it with either the triple pork triple garlic mazemen or Tokyo shio ramen.
Scott Bryan's menu is a mix of French and Italian dishes, with options like crudo, fresh pastas, and lightly grilled seafood. Saxon and Parole's Naren Young created the cocktail list. Read more.
Named after CBGB, Daniel Boulud has created a great environment here. Come here for lunch and get the prix fixe for $27. We recommend the lamb merguez sausage or piggie burger.
The divers scallops are a thrilling (and cheap!) starter. Skip the dull meatballs and get the smoked salmon or amazing skirt steak. And avoid the ice cream sandwich, it tastes like Vicks VapoRub. Read more.
Stellar flavors and presentation. Highly recommend the charred calamari, mussels, burrata but the steak tartare with sunchoke was a stand out dish!
Amazing French pastries, breads and baked goods, great atmosphere and solid lunch/brunch options including this brisket burger w/ crispy fries. Prices aren't low but the experience lives up to them.
At this sunny new restaurant in The Standard East Village, John Fraser is serving an inspired version of California cuisine. The roasted beets, carrots Wellington, and lamb saddle are early standouts.
Great coffee, cute hipster staff & always a celebrity sighting. The granola is special. I sit by the window. Keep my table open. - Marc Sinoway, Hunting Season
Head down a dark alley for a dimly-lit scene with creative and consistently clever food. The tartare with potato chips and the Bananas Foster are must-dos.
Hard to imagine food being better than at S&P. Wow! Try the fried peppers , seafood tower (great oyster selection), and the mushroom pot. The unique cocktails steal the show. Go hungry!
The best sugar-free, gluten-free baked goods anywhere. Heaven has a Babycakes, but so does NYC!
While this place is perpetually packed it's definitely something you have to check out at least once in your life. Get the avocado toast, the couscous and get your people watching on!
Amazing for every meal! For breakfast - BAKED EGGS! For everything else - Seared Tuna! Seriously try it!
The real secret of this place is that they serve breakfast and it's reasonably priced. $5 for delicious baked eggs is hard to beat.
A strong choice is deconstructed falafel with chickpeas and avocado, raw cauliflower, shaved fennel, mint, watercress, rice vinegar-pickled peaches, pickled red cabbage & sesame served on pita. Read more.
They serve three different granolas. Try the high protein one, with blueberry yogurt and fresh fruit. The granola is perfectly crunchy, not too chewy.
A unique take on Mexican cuisine here, with a menu that includes ceviches, tacos, and large plates to share. Diners have praised the eggs with urchin, the wings, the scallop and beef heart ceviche.
A homey spot for Greek souvlaki done right. The pita is fluffy, the hummus is fresh, and the fries are topped with feta and oregano.
This place is candy. Mood lighting and fog. Flashdance moves in the corner. So dirty, so cool. This is what an les bar should be.
This spot is home of the "garden burger," which is normally a tip-off that you're getting a frozen patty, but this is anything but. Try this delicious homemade veggie burger with natural ingredients. Read more.
