Mixed hummus platter rocks. Great service!!!
This is the place to go for Morraccan food. The tagines are so flavorful. I can't have a meal without the merquen sausage. Eric Wolitzky, Top Chef Just Desserts
If you're interested in thick chewy amazing cheese, GET the halumi eggs.
don't get the sweet potato chips - awful. but everything else about this place rocks. reminds me of the small drinking bars of kyoto.
Best sakes in town! Order the beef with rice and the large shumai!
Underground sake bar and Japanese tapas (izakaya). Dark and intimate. Love this place. Claire and my first date. -Francine, The Real L Word
Must try their fantastic oyster selection, the clams, scallops on risotto is excellent. There's a wait so come early and put your name on the list.
Owner Shane Covey says he doesn't own a freezer and prepares the seafood simply: “We just put the fish on the plate so people understand the value of it.” Read more.
Best grilled salmon, best scallops, best oysters to be found in the East Village. Killer $12 oysters & beers happy hour too. Nothing on the menu disappoints.
Really great cocktail bar! We purchased the Woodford Reserve bitters for Manhattans at home.
Awesome, easygoing bar devoted to bitters and amari. For cocktail nerds who know how to have fun.
Amor & Amargo is not a newcomer but they've hit their stride, serving all manner of homemade bitters and elixers. Try going on a weeknight to avoid the crowds, as the space is rather diminuitive.
Try the Sunset Gun it is absolutely incredible. Gin infused with a kick of basil, love it!
Cocktail Mecca, plain and simple.
Roses are red. Violets are clever. I like your ass. I wanna touch you forever.
I usually don't leave tips places but the bartenders/owners are so nice and the cocktails are spectacular. Have them recommend you a drink with your favorite spirit!
The scene is Americana and the cocktails are savory and eclectic, employing everything from kale juice in the Garden Variety Margarita to Szechuan peppers in the Track Town Fizz.
Jason Mendenhall, the bar's mixologist, makes his own bitters, preserves and cola—try the San Fran Sprout, made with his soda and fernet-branca, an Italian liqueur. Read more.
Everything is amazing. Get a bottle of red and a bottle of white and go in on the pita/dips, mussels, spanakopita, grilled octopus and chicken kebab. Free dessert is PERFECTION.
This restaurant is now the foremost provider of classic Attic octopus in the East Village, served with grilled toasts saturated with olive oil. Read more.
Amazing spot if you're craving authentic Greek food. Get the grilled octopus, pan-fried sardines, and the lemon potatoes. Portions are on the bigger side too. Free dessert at the end is solid too :)
Very friendly service. Top three are the lamb, cabeza and the pork. Closest thing to LA style tacos I've had so far.
Taqueria is the absolute best. Low key, chill vibes and the absolute sweetest staff. Carnitas anything is out of this world. Go for the lamb taco and tortilla soup while you're at it.
From a Californian, it’s like a 6.9/10. Free salsa but the food just wasn’t like home.
Super authentic! Empanadas are a MUST and best washed down with a Quilmes!
Instead of two steaks which means carrying leftovers I usually get the 16 ounce strip with mashed potatoes Then spilt it. Get the chimichurri sauce. the Carmel dessert. Amazing
The Entrania (skirt steak) is great!!!
The cavatelli special was delicious and so was the kale Caesar to start! Their pasta is homemade and it makes all the difference! Next time I go I will have to get the rigatoni.
That peach dessert thing.. with the orange ice cream on top.. just do it yo.
Food is amazing but the service is unbelievable. The best service in NYC I've had in a long time. .
Best fried chicken in the Alphabet City. I hear the porkchop is off the chain too.
Fried chicken is unreal. Biscuits and slaw are strong too
Best grill your own food. No great for conversations with more than 6. Love the ice cream. Mango is my favorite.
The specials here are awesome! Come Monday, Wednesday, or Sunday!
sake bombs with the wait staff
Duck Lasagna and Broiled Oysters are a must w/ any steak. Chef Capon always brings the best.
Go for the the broiled oysters (w/ garlic, breadcrumbs, and Romano), stay for the duck lasagna. Read more.
Duck Lasagna is absolutely incredible. Amazing dish is very filling for two people. Make reservations. The cheeseburger is super fresh, delicious.
Everything here is ridiculously good, spicy, and worth the wait. Some favs: Dan Dan noodles, chicken wings, scallion pancakes, cumin lamb
Get everything. The dumplings. Amazing. The crispy rice. Incredible. The crispy chicken. Yes, please. Philly knows how to do it. You're welcome, NYC.
I ate the pea leaves and cumin lamb and now my life is significantly better.
Great beer selection and full bar, plus coffee. This place has it all and with a great atmosphere for working or chilling.
Cute coffee shop ! Has a full bar at the back !
Love the speakeasy feel and the extensive craft beer selection on tap.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
