Andres: I loved the chorizo con chocolate and the fried chickpeas. I loved this place
Erica D: Artichoke salad, lamb, chorizo & chocolate and leche frita are all musts. Skip the chickpeas.
Erin S.: Top two: croquettes and the patatas bravas. Can't wait to try the chorizo con chocolate next time!

Edlin Choi: Went for brunch. Portions are small. The croissant and French toast were great. Soldaditos were yum but very small. Get the cracked peppers and chorizo and eat them together (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Village Voice: In the canapé family, we loved txitxiki, a fat-cigar-sized sandwich of crusty bread stuffed with homemade chorizo hash. And you can't do better than the arraultza Read more.
Christina: Best tapas in town. Really good sofrito (quail egg and sausage dish)
The Corcoran Group: Daily rotating lunch menu of hot and cold sandwiches including awesome roast beef, house-made sausages and pulled pork.
Jeffrey Allen: Tasso ham & Andouille sausage are made in-house (great for jambalaya). Their bacon is smoky & delicious too. Best butcher in Manhattan for locally sourced humanely raised meat. I'm a fan.
Shopikon: Vegetarians beware: the dark side beckons. Along with some of the best cuts and sausages in town, this place makes sandwiches that are so good it's almost offensive. The roast beef is a miracle.
Stefan St.: Great way to start your day is the 'Bigman Breakfast'. 2 eggs, 2 pancakes, bacon, sausage, hash browns and a coffee for $9,75 is quite a good deal.
Liliana Benitez: Best real Newyorker breakfast in town. Attend by hard working Mexican fellows. If you are at Chelsea don't miss it. Best pancakes and egg roll sausage.
Claudio: Make sure to order the "big man breakfast" , it has 2 sunny side eggs, hash brown, bacon, sausage and a side of pancakes. Friendly staff but limited seats, make sure to arrive early.

Rob Fitzhenry: Had an amazing brunch on Sunday. Brioche appetizer with crab crostini...their pie with egg on it was delicious...and the eggs baked in cast iron with sausage made me scrape the dish clean.
AmateurConcierge: Solid Italian but a bit of an isolated location. Loved the burrata, cauliflower and the pasta with sausage. Skip the mushroom pizza...very meh
Sarah P.: White mushroom pizza with truffle paste was great. The dough is very tasty, especially the crust. Also got the pasta with spicy sausage. Great ambiance for date night or girls' night!

Holly Chen: Free glass of sangria if you mention foursquare. Star with the spicy chorizo and then paella socarrat, which takes about 25 minutes to be ready.
Melodie Young: Try the paella de carne: smoky chorizo, caramelized rice, sweet and crunch snow peas. Their tapas menu is small but delicious, their wines and sangria are great, & the staff are always friendly.
Chris Grundemann: The Chorizo is amazing, can't go wrong with bacon wrapped dates, and of course the paella!

Eddie Eats Out: Their outdoor seating during the warm months is dog friendly. They give out metal water bowls with ice on hot days, and I got a special dog plate! The sausage is amazing and made in-house. A must try!
Sunny Aylsworth: Try the salt rimmed Bloody Mary and the turkey sausage. Yum!
Olga Eps: Liked the octopus and the german sausage as a starter. The focaccia in the breadbasket was great. Also they use soda stream, which is nice to get sparkling water w/o the extra cost

Kevin Dong: Try the burgers from the newly opened Daily Burger or the Italian Sausage from Sausage Boss at B tower on the 6th floor (100 level)! Delicious and not too pricey! -@NocturnalChino on twitter
Nancy Garcia: Sundays are nice here. Pork ribs, pork sausage and the brisket were all great. Don't really need much BBQ sauce, it's really well cooked.
James Spota: great pizza, terrible service. The guy at the counter couldn't tell the difference between sausage & pepperoni
Susan Lynne: Best place to get a slice ! Love the plain , sausage and upsidedown
Reeya Shah: Amazing slices, very convenient to penn station, penn plaza, and MSG. Loved the sausage sicilian

Jacob Forster: Get the Fusilli Norcina Sausage & Parsley! It's so good! The prices are very affordable and it's a super cozy atmosphere.
Cole Kennedy: Perfect spot for a late pasta dinner, especially if you can sit in the garden. Loved the pappardelle with sausage in spicy tomato sauce.

Ryan Warrender: The best breakfast burrito you will ever eat. The chorizo is the best. Only $4...make sure you tip, these guys rock!
Jake Clements: Delicious breakfast burritos. $4 and they’re pretty small, but worth it. They only had the California burrito, but it was the goods.
Kathy Matthiesen: Get there early - they often run out of burritos if you go closer towards 11am!

The Corcoran Group: A lively Italian restaurant, especially in the back patio. Try the Asparagus Vinaigrette, Orecchiette with Boar Sausage or the Roast Rack of Lamb.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by locals: Dinner tip: Try the orecchiette with broccoli rabe and boar sausage, covered in shredded Tuscan pecorino cheese – simple, yet truly delicious Read more.
Karen Patrick: Garden in the back is awesome. Almost as awesome as the grilled chicken salad.
Frank Short: Try the Grey Dog Breakfast with eggs, sausage links, & pancakes.
Albert Tong: Delicious Egg and cheese sausage croissant. Try their daily soups. Meatball chicken soup was great.
Julie T.: The place is nice but I found the scrambled eggs overcooked and the sausage was not good either. The music was also loud and too commercial.
