Overpriced, but v good burger. Get the medium rare cheeseburger with the works, vanilla shake, and fries - $19.75 at the time of writing (!!). Efficient operation but v tiny kitchen - expect to wait.

$1 oyster happy hour, amazing classic cocktail menu. love that this opened in the neighborhood! if you want to avoid the boring corporate crowd that packs the downstairs head to the parlor upstairs...
The P.H.O. Real, one of our 101 Best Sandwiches in NY, takes on the considerable challenge of reinterpreting a bowl of Vietnamese soup as a kaiser-roll sandwich - and wins.
Cinematic location tucked in the back of an alley. Hearty food, grizzly dudes, hot chicks and lots of taxidermy. Check their Sporting Club on the way out for bespoke suits and old-school barberism.
A great place to come for either brunch or dinner if you're looking for a British-skewed menu that's a bit higher end and healthy. We LOVE the Scotch Egg.
The view is incredible. However the cocktails are pretty bad mainly due to the poor bar tenders skills. Take a beer and enjoy the view!
Go through the Japanese restaurant and to the unmarked door that faces you as you get to the hostess stand. No parties more than 4. The specialty cocktails are impressive here.
happy hour is the best (50% off most drink and food). goes on longer than you think

C’mon now. How can you not love a store that sells a breakfast collection of characters with a bacon piece smoking a cigarette? Awesome!
The bottomless brunch here is great, but what makes it even better is the Lobster Mac and Cheese or the Lobster Benedict. These are must-order dishes!
this West Village townhouse, once home to rocker Janis Joplin, was also the scene of Diana Ross's first live show. (She performed in the basement speakeasy.)
The pork, sausage and sage roll is a must try! And Anner behind the counter is the cutest lil Australian in New York!
Really cute wine bar in the heart of the East Village. The ambiance is great - definitely a great place to take date.
Love love love. Quail egg Benedict? Delicious and delightful. Bikini? Truffle for days. Chorizo/shrimp/chicken wing paella? NOM. Affordable wine list, warm and cozy atmosphere and great G&Ts.
Everything here is fantastic, though I have a hard time straying from the Huevos Ranchero, breadbasket and Stumptown Coffee. The buttermilk pancake is a close second though.
Great spot for freshly pressed and blended juices- all natural and great for kids. Also- the build your own oatmeal breakfast is a treat.

Named after a line in a Walt Whitman poem - "I too lived - Brooklyn, of ample hills, was mine..." People talk about the salted crack caramel but my fave is the Ooey Gooey Cake.
Probably the best ice cream you'll have this summer. Chef Sam Mason (he of wd~50 fame) is a flavour mixing wizard. The weirder the combinations sound in your head, the better they taste in yo' mouth.
Cocktails like the Bourbon Highball (bourbon, lemon, simple syrup, soda) or the El Diablo (tequila, ginger syrup, lime, crème de cassis, soda) stay cool with hand-carved ice.
