Emily Wilson: It’s Kiki’s, but fast casual. What’s not to like? Perfect roast chicken, fries with Dijon dipping sauce, salads, souvlaki sticks... it’s all good, it’s all cheap. There’s just no wine.
Mediterranean Restaurant · Two Bridges · 45 tips and reviews
Emily Wilson: Cozy bar/resto with nice beers on tap and delicious Mediterranean food. Order at the counter and find a seat. Def get the plate with hummus, labneh and Israeli salad and def get an order of fries.

Zack Sheppard: A great new offering in the LES from the Death & Co. family. Solid cocktail offerings in a dark space that feels warmer and more personal than other nearby spots.

Jack Osborne: If it's your first visit, don't bother reading the menu, order the Spicy Rizzak; turkey, bacon, cheddar, tomato, onion and chipotle mayo on semolina bread. Yes!
Ice Cream Parlor · Lower East Side · 146 tips and reviews
Emily Wilson: If none of the funky flavors strike your fancy, go for the Basic B and don't feel like you let yourself down because even though it's vanilla, it's got lava salt in it and it's killer.
Nicole Formica: Great brunch!! Many different styles of Eggs Benedict, French toast and frittatas in skillets. Wash it all down with a $5 brunch cocktail
