1. Casa Mono

9.0
52 Irving Place (btwn E 17th & E 18th St), New York, NY
Spanish Restaurant · Gramercy Park · 206 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Chef Andy Nusser has crafted a menu of substantial tapas and medium-sized entrées, done mostly “a la plancha” with unmistakably Catalan flavors; get the duck egg with mojama. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Convivio Restaurant is one of eric's Saved Places.

2. Convivio Restaurant

45 Tudor City Pl (E 43rd St), New York, NY
Italian Restaurant · Tudor City · 15 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Convivio is a versatile, casual, expert stage for chef Michael White, one of the city's most talented pasta makers. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

The Spotted Pig is one of eric's Saved Places.

3. The Spotted Pig

314 W 11th St (at Greenwich St), New York, NY
Gastropub · West Village · 838 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Chef April Bloomfield holds her own and then some at New York's top gastropub. Arguably the best restaurant burger in New York is served here, and the gnudi needs no introduction. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Roberta's Pizza is one of eric's Saved Places.

4. Roberta's Pizza

9.2
261 Moore St (at Bogart St), Brooklyn, NY
Pizzeria · East Williamsburg · 864 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Here's what happens when hipster chefs get it right. Market-driven goodness and go-to pizzas. Check out the Heritage Radio Network, which broadcasts from the dining room on Sundays. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

L&B Spumoni Gardens is one of eric's Saved Places.

5. L&B Spumoni Gardens

9.1
2725 86th St (at W 10th St), Brooklyn, NY
Pizzeria · Gravesend · 430 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Three restaurants in one: the ice cream window, the pizzeria, and the sit-down sicilian place. They vary in quality, but the totality of the food (spumoni and gelati are A+) does it. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Momofuku Ssäm Bar is one of eric's Saved Places.

6. Momofuku Ssäm Bar

207 2nd Ave (at E 13th St), New York, NY
Asian Restaurant · East Village · 523 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Dude, it's Momofuku Ssam—arguably chef David Chang's best work, and certainly his most varied. A recent kitchen restaffing brings fresh life to the menu. Order the buttermilk. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Blaue Gans is one of eric's Saved Places.

7. Blaue Gans

139 Duane St (at W Broadway), New York, NY
German Restaurant · Tribeca · 88 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Something of an oddity, at least at first blush, Blau Gans turns out rustic Bavarian food in its stripped-down digs. A local standby with food that far exceeds expectations. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Gramercy Tavern is one of eric's Saved Places.

8. Gramercy Tavern

9.4
42 E 20th St (btwn Broadway & Park Ave), New York, NY
American Restaurant · Flatiron District · 446 tips and reviews

EaterEater: The unofficial official First Restaurant of New York. Though its formal dining room is a bit too too for Eater 38 contention, the front room and its seasonal American menu wins. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

Minetta Tavern is one of eric's Saved Places.

9. Minetta Tavern

8.8
113 Macdougal St (at Minetta Ln), New York, NY
American Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 621 tips and reviews

EaterEater: Keith McNally's reborn Minetta is a masterpiece—an old New York saloon, modern steakhouse and celeb haunt all in one. The problem: getting in. (The Black Label Burger is worth it.) [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
