Order the khao soi and the grilled sirloin- the flavors are amazing! With a side of coconut rice, of course.
Just go here and eat anything...food is INSANE. Pizza is epic. But they don't take reservations.
Meet ur lovah for coffee, chat up the barista with coffee jargon while bobbing ur heads to indie/hiphop music. Sit and read the NYTs for a bit. Check-in to 4sq and fight for mayorship! Rinse. Repeat.
Best coffee shop in Brooklyn. My only complaint is not enough room to hang around long. Excellent coffee, outstanding pastries with lots of variety, fantastic staff Read more.
They serve tasty La Colombe coffee, which isn't as good as Stumptown or Joe's, but you get to drink it while admiring some surfboards no one seems to ever buy.
Come for the mid-century modern furniture, stay for the awesome food carts. The red-hook ball field mexican food vendors are my favorite.
First Date? Avoid the sandwiches, they're messy, but definitely worth checking out otherwise (Honey Chicken & Chicken BLT). Don't make the mistake of not getting Fried Pickles, so good.
Staff Pick! Caroline (Design): The kind of place where someone might propose marriage or where you may meet the in-laws. Nice if you have time, $$, a hot date..
Hands down the best craft beer selection in NYC, but the sandwiches (esp the wagyu beef and serrano) are amazing as well!
Hot Bird's outdoor space, built in a former auto-body shop facing Atlantic Avenue, is best experienced on a sunny day, when you can crowd around picnic tables on the expansive patio and sip drafts. Read more.
The menu changes every few weeks, so there's always something new worth trying. But if there's pork, good lord, get that.
The best damn restaurant in Red Hook. Just about dying of pleasure eating the duck and the Korean steak & eggs and drinking the Fiscal Cliff.
Wow. Talk about a great dinning experience. The menu is seasonal with great attention to detail. The service is above and beyond. They know how to make you feel special. Lots of nice surprises!
#Stumptown cold brew, #kombucha on tap, classic rock playlist and friendly staff. Home run for the slope.
Mo' Stomy is always good, but Ciccone Boom (Lemoncello and Prosecco) is your go-to summer drank.
This place has such a nice backyard! It's just perfect! Perfect place for having dinner on a summer night
With a kitchen turning out impeccably smoked meats and more than 150 bottles of whiskey behind the bar, we recommend the delicious Pork Nuggets and Shrimp & Grits.
The walk from gentrified Dumbo to quasi-colonial Vinegar Hill is a bit trippy, and it's as if they actually perfected the legendary Country Chop over centuries. Best pork chop I ever ate.
A great little restaurant with an unforgettable atmosphere, good food and occasional old timey music - enojy! Read more.
My favorite legit banh mi place around NYC. If you're going to eat it right away, get your sandwich toasted.
Probably the best restaurant in the Slope... If you can get a table! No rezzies, just cross your fingers when you walk in.
A popular favorite in the area, it doesn't only serve up perfection in pie form. They also offer pastas, salads like their raw brussel sprouts or kale numbers, and killer cocktails. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Order new American plates (fresh-pressed tofu with sous vide pumpkin and smoked tomato, house-made cavatelli with a trotter ragù) while hanging in the backyard garden when it's nice out. Read more.
Dale Talde's wacky pan-Asian restaurant nails pretty much every dish on the menu, from "Kung Pao chicken wings" to more sophisticated dishes, like a banana leaf-wrapped whole branzino.
Really chill wine bar. The wraparound bar is the centerpiece at this place. Sit down with their book of wines and snacks, and let the conversation and booze flow.
Have to love them for trying, but flavors can often be overwhelming. Points for location and ingenuity. Get some buns and some salty Pastrami or Duck ramen for a twist on tradition. PS matzoballs.
Delicious food that's seasonal and well priced. Plus the wine prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.
A Morimoto ramen joint in my neighbhorhood? There is a God! (and She says to try the fried green tomato bun along with the pork broth ramen).
really excellent food. get at least one dish from each section of the menu for the full experience (all are sized for sharing). the suckling pig is usually a special but OMG, that shit cray.
Chill spot for drinks. Grab a table outside if you can find one and enjoy the Gowanus Canal. Inside is great too. Awesomely cavelike and cozy.
If you want some top quality leather shoes or boots, this is the place. Made in the U.S. since 1863!
New from the owners of Milk Bar; still lacking a liquor license, you can watch some advanced mixology expend itself on alcohol-free cocktails and homemade rickeys. Brunch portions are woefully small.
Kind of an awesome, secret bar tucked away on the 2nd floor of The Hotel at Times Square. Show off how cool you are by bringing your friends here once you get sick of the crowds in Times Square.
“‘Portlandia’-level preciousness is forgivable because the kitchen is equally meticulous. At Marco’s, a fancier and more expensive restaurant, the pastas are the primi, rather than the main event.” Read more.
The warm farro salad is delicious and will make you feel better about having a beer with lunch.
Hands-down my favorite of the several Park Slope / Gowanus / Prospect Heights BBQ places to open the past few years. Brisket and ribs are awesome, but the real star is their homemade (spicy!) sauces.
Dark, sexy, food only so-so but a cool place to take a date who'll dig the grafittied walls and the Japanese punk rock bartender. If you must eat, dried stingray with Kewpie mayo a good bet.
It's not easy for a Jewish guy to open a ramen joint in Tokyo. It's even harder to get Japanese people to say it's good. Ivan did both and now he's here in New York, home of the Jews, to feed us.
This place in its far west locale is proof that foursquare can help you find good coffee just about anywhere.
Tres Hermanos produces and sells fresh tortillas, but the small factory also has a sit-down eatery that's garnered its fair share of praise, so be sure to stick around for a quick bite.
Official after-work bar of team foursquare. If both bathrooms do not have foursquare stickers on the doors/mirrors/toilets, someone's getting fired... #justsaying
New cocktail/oyster bar from team behind Home Sweet Home. The Fresh Widow (spiced rye whiskey, coconut syrup, pineapple, bitters) is superb!
Service is incredible!! You will feel like you are sitting in a Vietnamese kitchen. It's a cozy space and the staff is all family or lifelong friends. They are super friendly and they deliver!!! 😃
Amazing bourbon selection, great southern-inflected menu, eat anything involving duck. Or marrow. Or pig. Great addition to the neighborhood!
Off the beaten path, but worth it! This new spot has a cool vibe with great cocktails. Try the Stay All Night.
The chef, Hooni Kim, serves pub grub with a pedigree: before setting out on his own, Kim worked in the kitchens at Daniel and Masa, and his first restaurant, Danji, earned a Michelin star.
Head to Hooni Kim's stylish Flatiron Korean restaurant for fresh killed-chicken skewers, braised pig trotters with kimchi, and fluffy scallion pancakes filled with squid. [Eater 38 Member]
China Blue serves refined Shanghainese cuisine in a space evokes 1930s China. The owners earned a following at Cafe China, and the early word suggests that they have another hit on their hands.
Bankers, writers, ponytailed tough guys, women in tight pants, men with braids like Axl Rose: everybody sits side by side, drinking their fireballs and Honker’s Ale. Read more.
Nowadays is like a giant suburban backyard, complete with grass to lie in, picnic tables, and a sweet ping pong table to challenge your friends on. Read more.
Ramen is good and a little on the softer side. Buns are pretty good (there are specials sometimes) but the gyozas are unbelievable. Probably the best out there. Hand-made, crispy, extremely meaty.
It's serving some treats from local spots like 2nd Avenue Deli, Russ and Daughters, and Il Laboratorio del Gelato, and there's 6,000-square-feet of outdoor space with a pool. Read more.
Spicy cold noodles, dan dan noodles, braised sliced fish in spicy soup broth, and lamb with cumin. Your mouth and stomach will burn nicely.
Hunan House is a lesson in true Hunanese: whole fish (heads, too!), pickled chiles, dried bean curd... Don't worry so much about the ingredients. Standout dish: Braised fish with pickled chile sauce. Read more.
When you walk in the door the smells and sensations take you out of LES and into a magical place where the wine pairings are spontaneous and the food is next level.
Exactly what bburg needed. A brilliant ramen joint (the pork broth is amazing) w/some of the most excellent sushi I've had in nyc. The scallop sushi was so heavenly that we had a piece as dessert.
David Chang is a genius. Offering simple high quality food on the go like this is outstanding. Service was pro for a fast food setting and I loved the sandwich the fries and salad. Ssam sauce is 🔥🔥
“Naked Cowboy oysters from the Long Island Sound, along with creamy, clam-shaped Kusshis from Vancouver Island, supplemented several truly small plates.” Read more.
Go for the Slow Reveal for a light and refreshing cocktail, and top it off with a strong and super flavorful John the Beachcomber. Beach Vibes is also good if you're into drinks with vinegar.
Whether you just want a pint from the vibrant tap room, or some cocktail nirvana from the dense, graphic novel-style menu found in the second floor parlor, the Dead Rabbit can cater to your tastes. Read more.
This has got to be the hippest place on the planet. Part-gallery, matcha café, boutique, bento box maker. Walk past the art books to the back to grab one of the authentic bentos before they're gone.
Stellar coffee. Flat white is transcendently wonderful. Small, intimate shop adds to the atmosphere. A must try and a blessing for me that it's so close...
super delicious and harder to find that dishes, especially noodle soup dishes. both the beef and the duck noodle soups are incredible. the seafood one has some serious flavor. not to be missed.
It was empty when we went there (wed of July - 6pm) but space looks good, selection of beers was ok, staff friendly.. a great addition to the neighborhood
Can get busy at times, so get in early or late. The food here is out of this world, you seriously cannot go wrong. The cocktails are on point and the service is pretty slick for West Village.
Trust me-they're the best in NYC! Skins are perfectly thin & not doughy & filling is so tasty. You'll be dreaming of these boiled pork & chive dumplings & not any others!
We love the hand-pulled and knife-cut noodles over at this no-frills Chinatown hole-in-the-wall, and you can score soups full of the stuff for super cheap. Proteins include beef, duck, eel, etc. Read more.
Authentic Szechuan food! Get a fried whole fish or fish filet in chili sauce, mapo tofu, shredded cabbage, and you'll need rice.
Check out the new T Shop in Nolita, it's a quiet sanctuary. There are currently nine teas available, including four oolongs, each with a distinct flavor profile. There are also tastings in store. Read more.
Love this new modern Vietnamese addition to the hood. Start with papaya salad and spring rolls, then move onto pho and beef stew. Tasty house hot sauce! Everything was delic, I loved the interior too.
This unfussy Chinese restaurant serves terrific awesome seafood dishes as well as surprisingly delicate dim sum. The scene can be hectic, especially during the weekend lunch rush. [Eater 38 Member]
When the wait is crazy at Roberta's, get takeout pizza and eat it here with some drinks. Low key and 100 times faster.
Really good broth and noodles with some big hitters from Shanghainese and Szhchuan cuisine. Cute decor. BBQ is dinner only so need to go back and try! No liquor license.
The cocktails are amazing, music is perfect, really good vibes and awesome bartenders. Very dreamy hot new bar 😍
