Great beer and cocktail menu to go with southern inspired noms. Yummy pickles ftw!
Thrice cooked bacon has enough Sichuan pepper to make you feel like you're eating pop rocks. Aggressive.
Authentic meets hip. Go with a bunch of ppl so you can order bunch of things. The salt cod rice, the monk fish liver sashimi, the rice cakes, mapo tofu were all solid. Line gets crazy so go early.

Must try the “DKA” by world-renowned chef Ansel and enjoy the outdoor patio
DKA yes, cannele of course, macaron not so much. Cookies are very crumbley and the entire thing falls apart. The pink berry and chocolate are a bit more out together.
1) Blanc de Blanc--Tahitian Vanilla between 2 soft, milky ricotta cookies w/ salted honey inside 2) Sugar-crusted kouign amann (super buttery croissant) w/ ice cream in the middle. $6, off the menu

Best ice cream in Manhattan, clean fresh flavors that are like nothing else. Owned by lovely brother and sister.

New York's first bakery devoted to custardy canele in sweet and savory flavors.
I'm not mad that I paid $5 for the butterscotch coffee eclair. I'm mad that I now need to rebudget my finances so that I can afford to buy one of these everyday until the day I die
With its slightly charred crust, rich cheesy flavor, and big chunks of meat, the prosciutto bread is a standout.
Old school—and awesome—Eastern European breads, like the massive, thin, onion-coated onion board.

all the flavors are amazing but the really nice and friendly staff top it off!!! (movie night: buttered popcorn, toasted raisin, dark chocolate flakes a surprising favorite!!)
Creamy Haupia is definitely a must try topping. Might I suggest red velvet creme and mochi.
S'mores and banana cream pie are my favorite flavors so far, and try the salty chocolate chip cookie. You didn't hear this from me too--but the bacon cheddar scone is gooood!

Check on wikipedia about the history of how Kolache has arrived in New York and compare Americanized one you will get there with the original in the picture.
Really, really great dim sum. Try the soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, fried pork buns, and Szechuan spicy wontons. Oh, and don't forget the amazing red bean pancakes!
