Linh T.Linh Ta: Def get the bar chips! The grilled shrimp and grits is totally amazing! I can't wait to go back!

How To Make It In AmericaHow To Make It In America: One-size-fits-all kind of place that's open early and late. A varied American menu with something for everyone, a hopping bar, plenty of tables in a buzzy room and a photo booth in the basement.

BaratundeBaratunde: In my official duties as a black man, I'm stating for the record, Koreans make the best fried chicken.

CarolineCaroline: One of the best French places in the city. The closest I've found to a real French bistro, down to the chairs and the friendly staff. Amazing Moules Marinières!

Brian M.Brian Michael: Get the foie gras. Trust me.

AbbyAbby: Make a reservation if you're going for dinner; it's small. And be on the lookout for Ryan Gosling.

Thai Restaurant · East Village · 192 tips and reviews

Aron S.Aron Schindler: Most authentic Thai place in NYC! You can tell by the spiciness. This place will not water-down a spicy papaya salad for the "farangs"!! Try the salads and pork larb, just like in Thailand!

CassidyCassidy: Better than uncle boons AND you don't have to wait two hours for a table. Seriously, come here and get the duck larb and tell me I'm wrong.

Jessica L.Jessica Le: Great new Thai restaurant in the neighborhood. Try the many varieties of Papaya Salad (Somtum) - the original is my favorite!

Italian Restaurant · East Village · 192 tips and reviews

ErinErin: Always full of beautiful people. One of my favorite brunch spots (baked eggs, truffle frittata) and excellent for dinner (arancini, kale salad, can't miss crostini).

LacosteLacoste: Where we go for our Nutella calzone fix. Never heard of it? TRY IT. It's also a perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail after work -- just be careful the wax from the giant candles doesn't ruin your drink!

Rachel K.Rachel Karnofsky: Don't come here and pretend that you're not going to have pizza. In the end you're not just going to have a margarita pizza... You're going to go for the truffle pizza. Just stating the facts....
