Thrillist: Get the Brisket sandwich (only available on Tuesdays) topped with house-made smoked ricotta, red cabbage, and served on an English muffin. Read more.
Josephine Son: Fun little casual spot in EV. Drinks are good, especially the watermelon gimlet. Get the brisket jerky, shrimp chips and charcuterie platter. Next time I gotta try the fried duck & waffle!
Michael Fox-Rabinovitz: Good cocktails, great meats : pig ears, super fatty brisket sandwich and ribs... Lots of food, but totally worth it :)

Marc: Eater's Hottest Burgers Sp'16: "variety burger" - feat chuck & brisket, w/heart & liver. Organ meat adds minerality to pan-seared patty. Served w/o bun under caramelized onions & fontina cheese
Wilson Zhou: The "Variety Burger" is a medium-rare patty made from a coarse grind of brisket, chuck, heart, and liver. It's served with sweet potato wedge fries (heresy!) and without a bun (hiss!). ★★★
EM H.: Was good place to celebrate anniversary. Rustic, cozy, upscale casual atmosphere, great food philosophy, and tasty dishes.

Vietnamese Restaurant · East Village · 99 tips and reviews
Village Voice: The pho is the best in town, with a light broth barely scented with spices. The house signature variety features brisket, eye of round, and beef balls. Read more.
Chris Evans: The appetizer platter is definitely a great choice for a group. Also try the mango lemonade, it's pretty refreshing.
Village Voice: Robert Sietsema is convinced that Sao Mai may be the best Vietnamese restaurant New Yorkers have. Keep an eye out for the goi bo, banh cuon, and for all you naysayers, give the pho a shot.
