With some heritage from midtown's Little Collins, these guys know how to make a good flat white. Or try something new and get a Matcha Latte or Matcha Hot Chocolate.
one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had - ceremonial grade or close to for sure - I'm buzzing right now! almond milk = ✔️
Try the Sabich-Slabs of eggplant are fried into crisp, silken submission & layered into a pita along w/ shredded cabbage, Israeli salad (diced tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley), hummus, & hard-boiled egg.
Great food (truffle croquettes are incredible) and the bar downstairs is very cool!
The black cod is one of the best dishes I have had. So naturally buttery and flavorful. Melts in your mouth. This dish is a must try.
Sneaky great work spot. Long communal table with power and wifi. Stumptown and beers on tap. Breslin food + waiter service. Jams and rustic lighting that'll make you feel cool typing on your MacBook.
The basement is a much swankier spot than upstairs. Go straight for the bar downstairs and loosen up with the dj until you're ready for the quiet dining experience on the top floor.
Exotic and delicious Brunch. Smoked salmon on an everything bun with horseradish cream and egg, the Momofuku ssam (a pork shoulder filled Asian burrito), and the perfectly salty country ham Benedict.
Whole ducks with perfectly crisp skins are brought to tables and carved before diners by skilled servers. Bring a group and a few bottles of wine — the restaurant is BYOB. Read more.
Wow wow wow the special 🍕- butternut squash purée, kale, goat cheese, and guanciale - was top three best pizzas I've ever had in my life. I could eat it probably once a month for the rest of time.
This hipster clubhouse boasts a huge space with comfy couches, outlets, free and fast wifi, bar food, and drinks after dark. Sit on the comfy upper level window seats, or grab a bench outside. Read more.

great for late night; love getting the specials, tonight there was pork pibil meatball with black bean sauce (yum)! avoid veggie balls, super dense and flavorless; ice cream sandwiches are amazing
If you're a celiac you are safe at Keste! Their pizza is delicious and totally gluten free. My favorite is the margherita.
Order the 'Trust Me', a couple bottles of Nozawa sake, and tack on an extra handroll at the end. Great way to treat yourself. Went on a weekday for late lunch and had no wait—seems like the time to go
Try sharing the large "trust me" menu and then order more of what you loved a la carte. The sushi practically melts in your mouth. Delicious.
Try the "Pho Real" ($7), which combines "fresh sliced Boar’s Head roast beef, basil, cilantro, sprouts, tomato and avocado...to capture the essence of the Vietnamese noodle soup in sandwich form." Read more.
Their popular Frozémonade is served all year long. As the name might suggest, this is a rosé-based offering, combined with lemonade and whipped into a frothy, frozen treat. Read more.
If you like a little spice on your pizza, go for the Roni Supreme. It has "lots of pepperoni" & the calabrian chiles give it a perfect kick.
My favorite veggie dish of all time: sautéed pea shoots with garlic. Both my parents are from Szechuan, China and the Dan Dan noodles and dumplings in chili oil were some of the best I've had
Get a feast to share. Sriracha Brussels sprouts, avocado toast, and the monkey bread!
A breakfast sandwich is only as good as the bread it’s served on. At this temple of all things baked, the options are excellent, whether topped with oyster mushrooms, pastrami or beet-cured salmon. Read more.
May be the best chicken cutlet w/ mozzarella & pesto sandwich I've ever had. Also large enough for two meals, so at $10 it is a bargain.
Steamed eggs will ruin eggs for you forever because you won't want them any other way again. Come early, sit at the bar, have an espresso, don't miss the waffle sandwich either.
Best bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches around. The guys behind the counter are super friendly and speedy. Everything here is extremely cheap for NYC bagel standards.
Go with a friend during lunch. Get the three cheese grilled cheese and a BBLT. Now split. Amazing right? Best of both worlds and the bread they use is delicious. Fries are forgettable though...
The setup is a little confusing - you order and pay at the counter, then the hostess seats you and your food is brought out. Highly recommend the grilled cheese with bacon and the sweet potato fries!
Looove this place. Such a warm and comfortable feel here. Nice servers and great food. Sampled 7 different coffee places in NYC and this is my favorite house coffee hands down!!!!!
Super cute/cozy breakfast/lunch spot with friendly counter-service but be prepared to wait! Sandwiches and salads are delicious, tacos and especially The Greydog Breakfast! Everything for everyone.
I love this location so much! Everything is delicious; sandwiches, salads, omelets, iced coffees, etc. And you can't beat mimosas on a Sunday morning! Friendly staff and great atmosphere.
With real estate prices so high, most coffee shops don't even have space to sit. Here's a great, old school bookstore with a tiny cafe and ample seating. Great to meet up or do a little work.
The food is delicious. I especially liked the potatoes that come with the standard brunch. Unlike other places it has lots of space so the waiting time is usually quite short.
You might wait 2 hours to try any variety of meatballs you can imagine, in any form. The daily specials are always fun, vegetables are fresh and delicious. The homemade ice cream sandwiches are a MUST
A late night Chinatown classic. Aim for the roast meats, and slather ginger-scallion sauce over everything.
Venerated late night Chinatown spot. Roast pork (and skin-on roast pig), noodles, fried soft shell crabs, and stir fried garlic chives are smart orders here.
The best black cod I've ever had. Chef Michael Anthony is a true artist. -Ron Duprat, Top Chef
In the tavern section, great food and drinks can be had at a fraction of the cost of a meal in the main dining room.
One of the best in New York. Don’t have a reservation? Eat in the bar area and enjoy the same standout service as in the dining room. We love the Sea Bass and the Pasture Raised Chicken.
A must-see, brilliant for photos. Classic american diner. $20 pastrami sandwich is best shared, just ask them to cut it - we split it 3 ways easily! And it really was incredibly delicious.
Spend the day exploring the museum, then head to the rooftop garden bar where you can sip on rosé while overlooking Central Park and Cornelia Parker's PsychoBarn sculpture commissioned for summer '16.
Get here before 11 am on weekends to avoid a long wait. Best dim sum in Chinatown
A block or so away from Grand Sichuan, Chop Shop offers peace, calm, and fusion. With its quietude and humility, it's best for: an unassuming date.
The Kea Mao was amazing. When you order ask them to make it extra spicy. I won't be ordering from anywhere else.
Make sure to check out their new rooftop restaurant, Sabbia. Opened only 2 months ago, the Italian Riviera-themed decor features cabanas, palm trees, vintage posters and a boat-shaped oyster bar.
Fantastic beer garden on the roof during summer. Also the vegetarian restaurant is quite good even if you aren't veggie / vegan. If you're lucky you might see some celebs or Mario Batali
Get the focaccia for lunch. The grilled eggplant is my favourite. If you want dessert, the gelato is a safe bet. A trip to NYC would be incomplete without a stop at Eataly, especially for foodies.
Be sure to come here with a group so you can sample as many delicious pizzas as possible. The best part - you can get a pie with two types! Our top picks: Vodka, Rubirosa Supreme & the Caprese.
The Rubirosa Supreme pizza has all the right toppings with a delicious crust: tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, mini meatballs, and roasted garlic.
Fantastic. Tuna poke, spicy squid tacos (actually spicy and perfect), and fish of the day were all on point. Surprised at how good it was. Loved the cucumber mint and gin cocktail.
Fish tacos and the shishito peppers are some of the best I've ever had. Service treats you like fam and that includes Michael Chernow himself. Love their food values & there's no doubt I'll be back!
Low-key obsessed with the turkey pesto panini, eggplant pesto panini, and Mediterranean salad
