Get the Swedish meatballs as a traditional choice and the classic smorgasbord if you like fish and more of a variety of different options to taste. Viking's romance is a great choice for a cocktail.
Schnitzel sandwich with weiss bier! (If you can, sit at the middle table with the seats that swing out!)
Anchovies, Pappardelle, and the Duck Breast makes for a perfect meal for 2. Inside is lovely but if it's the summer, try to get a table outside.
Fantastic old-school urban Italian restaurant, just like your Aunt makes. Definitely try the namesake’s Calamari, the Eggplant Parmesan and the Shrimp Oreganatta.
Get stuffed cabbage and chicken paprikash (comes with free dessert Mon-Thurs evenings). Highly recommend their sachertorte. House cabernet complements the meal.
Very spacious Czech almost like Hungarian beer hall. Huge mugs for drafts/pitchers. Unique Czech beers and delicious varieties of mac and cheese, wedge fries, and pierogies.
$5 half liter of Pilsner Urquell to start. I'm addicted to the sheep cheese dip & the Hungarian goulash with dumplings. The Slovak pasta with sheep cheese is also delish.
A good Bavarian beer deserves an authentic brat with it. Go for the sausage platter and the Weihenstephaner. Thirsty? Get the large litre mug.
A beer garden with a great selection of brews. Bring your friends, get some pretzels and sausage, some beer, and enjoy!
The only quality deepdish pizza you'll find in NYC. This place is legit. A medium is 6 slices, split between two you'll be full but it's well worth it.
The classic meatballs here are definitely worth the wait. The menu comes with a black marker so just check off what you want and send it off. With so many options, the combinations are endless!
Chicken under brick is delicious. You can't go wrong with mashed potato with truffle oil!
I think this may be new "Best Steak Frites in Alphabet City" spot -- great cocktails, deep menu, escargot & solid steak (tho no bernaise sauce). Our new go-to since Casmit got hit w health violation.
A $5 brat and a beer at the bar is all you need for a simple and delicious after work dinner. German potato salad is awesome too!
The menu is compact and quite serious (à la beet bourguignon). But it’s also capped off with the likes of Paris Brest--the cream-filled pastry you see before you. Read more.
A great cheap place to get yummy steak frites. I love the concept of no menu, with a salad to start and then a full plate of fries and steak with a special sauce, and then refills!
Decent fried chickens and various versions of hot dogs that hit the spot! There is a seating area along with beer on tap inside, and one of the staffs last time was super friendly.
Cheeseboat is a must! You could share one with a side for 2 people, or as a sharing option alongside entrees for a bigger group. Add in the truffle butter, it's so decadent! Take away box if you need!
Sausage and beer come together in perfect harmony at this Brooklyn outpost of the SF-based tubed meat hotspot. Get a brat, then try one of 24 tap beers that span the globe from California to Belgium.
Scrumptious sauerkraut & potato + cheese fried Slovakian perogies w/ served w/ choice toppings: caramelized onions or marinated mushrooms. Don't forget the sour cream & a smear of mustard. 😋
Lovely reasonably priced spot. We had brunch in the covered comfortable backyard. Group of 8 had basically the whole brunch menu and everything was good, esp the danishes obviously.
Classic but great red sauce American Italian joint. Get a pie (go with only a few toppings), baked clams, lasagna and eggplant parmigiana.
Wow. Tough to get a table but it's worth it for the authentic Spanish cuisine that made us nostalgic for Barcelona. The chickpeas, fideua paella, crispy suckling pig. Also, El Arrako = amazing drink.
Great spot for some quality Italian. The duck risotto is great and try the mushroom appetizer.
Definitely try the truffle money bags and the shoemaker chicken! Everything we had was delicious. You will definitely score points with the ladies if you bring them on a date here. Great music too!
Great for groups. I ordered the tagliatelle with broken meatballs sauce and it was yummy. Also got the red sangria which came in a pint glass and was really good. Great prices.
khachapuri, khinkali (dumplings), baked mushrooms with sulguni cheese, and both lamb and chicken kabobs. Note, they don't serve alcohol but let you BYOB.
The decor of this 115-year-old place is right out of the first half of the 20th Century, a location scout's dream. It has a gyro-feta omelet, as well, which isn't an easy menu item to find. Yum yum.
Great food, slow-ish service and they messed up my,sister's dish - thankfully, quick fix and brought out proper dish quickly... all food was very tasty and flavourful, absolutely recommend to visit
note: this is a Turkish restaurant, not eastern european per the 4sq category it's in. get the lamb sauté, whole branzino, shepherds salad & 1/2 spanokopita, 1/2 sigaro - amazing!!!
Burrata to die for, the best kale Caesar in America and world class homemade pasta.
