Korean Restaurant · Williamsburg · 100 tips and reviews
Tony Xerri: These guys really know they're stuff. The Korean fried chicken was bomb and all their ingredients ts are super fresh. Go with a group and splurge on everything!

Seafood Restaurant · 26 tips and reviews
Tony Xerri: OK, I'm going to tell you a little secret. Get the bowl of clam chowder when they're serving the fish and chips special. Then, dip the fries in the soup for an extra serving of deliciousness. Winning.
Mexican Restaurant · Astoria · 17 tips and reviews
Tony Xerri: Great strawberry jalapeno margaritas. Quesadillas are great but there were times where we had pieces of inedible meat. Service was a bit slow and off point as well. Still worth a try if you're hungry!

Wings Joint · Tribeca · 135 tips and reviews
Tony Xerri: The wings are great, but I don't understand why I can't get a variety of flavors if I get a bucket of 50. Why do I have to get two doubles and a single? Makes no sense charging extra like that.
Tony Xerri: Came here for casual drinks. Lots of suits but infinitely better than the trash over at Turtle Bar or any of the other bro bars. Good beer selection and a great old fashioned. Well done.
Tony Xerri: This place is kind of the best. The tacos are insane. Do yourself a favor and order a few lenguas with the red sauce. A great substitution for when El Rey deal Taco fails to deliver.
Tony Xerri: Rainbow flags means Matthew Sammut is swimming in the water. Otherwise bring a cooler full of beer and just fry for a few hours. Be careful of bees though, they'll try to steal it when you look away.
Tony Xerri: Don't like someone? Kill them, chop them up, put in a weighted bag, then throw them off. Done. Do it during the sunset though, far more dramatic.
Hotel · Meatpacking District · 256 tips and reviews
Tony Xerri: White people for days. Try to guess which ones don't pay with their father's credit card. Also, yes I'm going to call you out when you cut the entire line at the bar. Grow up and wait your turn...
Tony Xerri: If you're eating here but didn't order the pizza mexican, euthanize yourself on the spot. Don't worry, William will make sure to dump your body in a secluded spot. This is THE restaurant on the beach.
Tony Xerri: Beware the unattractive cougars that roam this jungle of alcohol and shame... aside from that the beer is cold and plenty of menus to choose from if you're hungry. Darts in the back!
Tony Xerri: Enough with the fried pickle tips. We get it. When you're here, get yourself a Rootbeer Cocktail. If you're hungry, share the Mac and Cheese. If you're feeling frisky, talk to the girl at the bar.
Tony Xerri: If you live in Astoria, then there's no reason why you shouldn't buy a growler to take home. That way when you come back, beer is only $8. The 18Watt and the dark lager are insanely delicious. Nice.
Tony Xerri: The greatest savory bakery in Astoria. Fresh bread, pastizzi, ftira, and while you're at it get yourself the ridiculously good raspberry hot chocolate. AND this place is Maltese. Can't beat that.
Tony Xerri: I've had plenty of Guiness in my time. This bar, serves a mean one. Not only that, but they serve it in an imperial glass. That's 20oz. 4 more than a pint. Simple science people! Get a damn Guiness!
