9 Best Soho Eats
Ed's Lobster Bar is one of 9 Best Soho Eats.

1. Ed's Lobster Bar

222 Lafayette St (btwn Spring & Kenmare St), New York, NY
Seafood Restaurant · SoHo · 245 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: It may be Ed's Lobster Bar, but we love the fried Ipswich clams. They're juicy and nicely briny, with a clean crunch. So good you probably won't even need the accompanying lemon or tartar sauce!

2. Hampton Chutney Co.

143 Grand St, New York, NY
Dosa Place · SoHo · 210 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: Dosas are light, crispy rice and lentil based crepes, and best one here is filled with spiced chutney curry chicken, spinach, and balsamic roasted onions. Top with cilantro chutney for foodgasm.

Birdbath Neighborhood Green Bakery is one of 9 Best Soho Eats.

3. Birdbath Neighborhood Green Bakery

160 Prince St (btwn W Broadway & Thompson St), New York, NY
Bakery · SoHo · 150 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: Pretzels and croissants are so amazing on their own, it's a wonder no one thought to combine them earlier. Thankfully, Birdbath took on the task and created this flaky, salty, sesame-studded treat.

4. Balthazar

9.0
80 Spring St (at Crosby St), New York, NY
French Restaurant · SoHo · 1059 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: Perhaps the most Soho of Soho restaurants, Balthazar's goat cheese and caramelized onion tart is the ultimate gooey savory prelude to a delicious, Francophilic, comfort food filled meal.

5. Snack

105 Thompson St (btwn Prince and Spring St), New York, NY
Greek Restaurant · SoHo · 64 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: The pikilia platter features three meze, with pita and stuffed grape leaves is a steal at $12.50. For the rest of your meal it's easy to eat meat-free with creamy tzatsiki, feta, and skordalia.

6. Alidoro

8.7
105 Sullivan St (btwn Spring & Prince St), New York, NY
Sandwich Spot · SoHo · 230 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: Pretty much everything on this sandwich shop's menu is a good choice, but our favorite is the Da Vinci: sardines or mackerel layered with sun-dried tomatoes and Bel Paese cheese on a plank of bread.

7. Mooncake Foods

112 6th ave (Between Watts and Broome), New York, NY
Asian Restaurant · SoHo · 106 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: The whitefish salad Banh Mi has some serious fusion flavor. All that's wonderful about Jewish cuisine – the smoked fish, the excess – with jalapenos, pickled carrots and daikon and cilantro. It works.

8. Omen a Zen

8.3
113 Thompson St (btwn Prince & Spring St), New York, NY
Japanese Restaurant · SoHo · 27 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: The udon here is great, but some even better bites (cold burdock root or yuba with crab) can be found in the ever changing, seasonal, multi-course special meal. Expensive, but oh so worth it.

Osteria Morini is one of 9 Best Soho Eats.

9. Osteria Morini

218 Lafayette St (btwn Kenmare & Spring St), New York, NY
Italian Restaurant · SoHo · 301 tips and reviews

Village VoiceVillage Voice: It's hard to go wrong with a toothsome pasta filled with truffled mascarpone, in a silky rich butter sauce, but they do it best here. The cappelletti with a sprinkle of prosciutto is the way to go.
