Amazing buffalo Mac and cheese, biscuits, pickles, drinks, chicken, mushroom gravy. Omg I'm in love! Huge portions so good soooo good. Jam jar and the apple pie moonshine. Well recommend to everyone!
speakeasy esque environment - the restaurant is hidden away downstairs. make a reservation if you can! and try the mahi mahi tacos & the ahi tuna tostada
A-ma-zing! Totally worth the wait! You'll probably won't find better handmade corn Tortillas outside of Mexico!
Protip: start with the fried chicken and end with the honey butter chips, anything else, you're doing it wrong
I got the fried chicken sandwich and to my delight is was really good. And the servings are big enough to share if you just want a snack.
If there are pancakes in heaven, this is what they taste like. Get there early on a weekday to avoid the ungodly wait times.
Your day will improve as soon as your cross the threshold of this establishment. Now, get a table and order the following: hot breast sando + a million boat drinks + nachos for the table. 🏆
Superb Indian food, definitely with an American twist. But worth the price & then some. If you can't get to India or Brick Lane in London, come to Tamarind.
This has become my favorite Indian place in the city. The staff is awesome and the food is consistently great. Delicious vegetarian options! Try the Jaipuri Kofta, Bikaneri Paneer, and okra.
Dil-e Punjab Deli is absolutely amazing. Phenomenal, fresh, and delicious. $7 never got me so much fantastic vegetarian food.

Pac-man dumplings are the easy go to, but try the soup dumplings for a little extra flavor
The food, cocktails and atmosphere are amazing! Definitely get the artichoke dip and the devils on horseback!
Amazing croissants! Brother in law on layover in NY from Paris to SF came here and thought they were better than all ones in Paris.
EVERYTHING I've had here is good... EVERYTHING. Their croissants may be the best you'll find in NYC, as well as their pizzas, surprisingly.
Almond croissants are among the best in the city. Stop by for one with a cappuccino while you read the in-house NY Times.
Really warm and cozy venue, great choices of pho, and banh mi special with pho on the side is amazing
Ambitious take on normal dim sum menu, a perfect alternative to the New American Williamsburg brunch. The long dumplings and pork and shrimp shumai were stellar.
Really, really great dim sum. Try the soup dumplings, shrimp dumplings, fried pork buns, and Szechuan spicy wontons. Oh, and don't forget the amazing red bean pancakes!

it's all about the peking duck. the branzino skin chips are heavenly as are the steak, the bass, the pork belly, the oxtail dumplings, and the four gras tarts. drinks are good and atmosphere is A+
The dumplings here are the best. Come here for the pork dumplings in chili oil and xiao long bao, they're comparable to the ones you get in Asia!

A little-known fact: Maison Premiere claims to have the world’s most accurate working replica of the absinthe fountain that once flowed in New Orleans. (Oh, and go for the Beausoleil bivalves.)
The best bespoke cocktails in NYC now? Sam Ross, the owner, created the Penicillin. Even if you don't like scotch, order it. Then get the "Ralphacillin", a riff with maple dark rum.
Spice-driven cocktails that are often unexpected. Experimental Cocktail bartender keeps it interesting. Thai chili is the bomb
Go here. Get a cocktail. If you're 2 ppl, call anytime and ask to sit at the bar. >2, call at *exactly* 3pm and make a reservation. It'll be busy, so keep retrying.
This place takes their cocktails very seriously. How do I know? I saw them use so much ice, it wasn't even funny. Do yourself a favor: get a cocktail.
This bartender-owned supper club was originally intended to be a late-night gathering spot for fellow bar and restaurant workers.

Bomb lobster roll with bacon and avocado. Those things can't come cheap sadly, but it's worth a visit for a quick meal that doesn't taste like one.
One of the best, affordable Lobster Rolls in the city. Served cold, healthy portion of large chunks of sweet meat. Bread doesn't overpower the lobster.
The lobster roll and fries with Old Bay seasoning are perfect together. They go great with Mermaid's spicy margarita.
Piled high fresh lobster on the best bun. Combined with mouth watering Shoestring fries are AWESOME. Go early to avoid a wait. Wonderful people.
Lovely, quaint little seafood joint in the West Village. Must get the lobster roll- its fab!
One of the better lobster rolls I've had, and I'm a man who enjoys his lobster rolls. The bread makes all the difference. Well worth the $20 price tag.
Pro: the lobster in the lobster roll is fresh & you can tell. Con: the place is always packed, eating comfortable won't be an option. You can get it in a lunch box that's also good!
Must try the Spicy Redneck, which is a fried hotdog wrapped with bacon, topped with chili, cole slaw, and jalapenos. Glorious.
I want to live here. Everything about this place is perfection. Allow 4+ hours for dinner, and go with the duck for your main course.
This is where you go if you want to live it up. It's certainly not cheap, but it's well worth the money for an exquisite culinary experience and impeccable service. Read more.

Perfect day drinking on a sunny nyc wkend day. Outdoor rooftop views can't be beat, grab some friends and a pitcher, arrive by 3-ish to grab a table, the rowdiness sets in around 5.
Super roomy place with lots of good beer options and food - great for big groups of people!
An upper east side gem, excellent list of rotating craft beers on tap, great food. Come during daytime happy hour for cheap prices!
Go around 7 and put your name on the list then grab a drink around the corner while you wait. Good place for dates. Can be expensive but won't break the bank like some other sushi spots.
🍣👍Masters at their craft. Bar seating comes at a premium, which is warranted in my opinion but sushi is also great in dinning room. Service is top notch. Chef Nakazawa is currently off on weekends.
Oh momoya! You wouldn't realize it walking by - great sushi at great prices. You have to get the crispy rice roll.
Truly fantastic. Only downside is that you will never enjoy sushi as much as you did.
