Italian Restaurant · Hudson Yards · 12 tips and reviews
AmateurConcierge: Sexy room in high demand….and while the food is good, doesn’t justify the hype imo. Gnocco was great, onion tart v tasty but super rich. The rigatoni cacio good but off balance. Tomato’s meh
Marie La Rue: Large luxurious dining room gives this place a corporate vibe. Onion tart, focaccia and skirt steak were standouts. Try the solid Negroni. Best for business diners.
Michael G.: The onion tart and rigatoni were superb. Great spot especially when you’re not the one paying
2. La Bergamote

Café · Chelsea · 88 tips and reviews
Connie Weng: La Bergamote's fruit tarts are my favorite. The crust is perfectly nutty and buttery, and plays off nicely against sweet and tangy fresh fruits.
Tim Shey: A longtime West Chelsea mainstay. Check out the ancient espresso machine. If you want to venture beyond their great croissants, they have a super-rich almond brioche toast, and a nice coffee eclair.
Anuj Mathur: The Croque Madame leads with the excellent homemade brioche. It's relatively light and comes with mixed greens.

James J: I really enjoyed the homemade poptart they had for brunch.
Elizabeth Burstein: Vanilla cheesecake is yummy with tart garnishes! The artichoke and crudo i would avoid. The fries and pimms cocktail are delish. Cool vibe!
Emilie Futterman: Delicious for any meal. Burger, fish tacos, and waffles are fab. Great cocktail list too, get the martini.

Claudia Colonna: The best euro tart yogurt! Beats all froyo shops + graham cracker a real winner!
Mary Estevez: No longer paying $7 at Pink Berry. Self-serve, spacious, and delicious!
LogoTV: The salted caramel and graham cracker are both to do for, but I would recommend giving all 16 handles a pull! - Tyler French, Hunting Season

Cupcake Shop · Chelsea · 209 tips and reviews
Sonora Bostian: Everyone knows the cupcakes are good, so I'll recommend the lemonade. Perfect blend of sweet and tart!
Loriah Pope: So glad we came here! We got the chocolate cake and the key lime pie. The chocolate cake was so moist and the key lime pie was exactly the right balance of sweet and tart.
Winson Wong: The banana cake and pudding is delicious. Overall their cakes are really good. There are seats inside the bakery as well which is good to hang out. There are also two benches outside for the summer.
Ina Li: Fresh, filling and super delicious. Try: pain du matin, ginger pecan tart, and most definitely their raisin scone! (Maybe better biscuit too?)
Aysem Ertopuz-Deobler: Best Creme Brûlée I've ever had outside of Belgium!
BKbybike NYC: Amazing hot chocolate.
Han Yu: May carry quenepas in the summer. The delicious and rare Spanish Lime is like a cross between a lychee and a lime, with tart, tangy, creamy pulp.
Ariel J: Amazing selection of fresh options and hard to find options. Best prices in the neighborhood. They now accept credit cards.
Patrice Pollack: Impressive selection of fresh and dried mushrooms.

kevin kiernan: Ribeye, asparagus, pommes (it's all we ordered and it was all great). To-go Martinis also on point.
Sara R: Decoration is extremely nice and cosy, service was amazing, food is okay though.
Rachel C: For brunch: burgers, eggs benedict; French toast croissant was not as good as it looked.

Cheen The Curious: Cocktails. Enjoyed their concoctions here including Chamuyo ($16, pictured), a citrus vodka-based drink, with bitters & orange & grapefruit juices. Wished it was stronger 😬
7th.List: Argentinian specialties. There is a bar and dining area. On the menu, pollo a la paprika (chicken breast with skin thoroughly immersed in paprika), jujeña empanada. Dessert? budin de pan Read more.
@JaumePrimero: Love this hidden gem in West Chelsea! Argentinian restaurants are hard to come by in NYC, definitely worth a visit!
