Patrick Mahoney: Hands down the best chocolate around! The dark chocolate ganache and champagne truffles rock!
NYC Pride: Their assortment of macarons is imported directly from Paris. They use a unique blend of ingredients, like Arabica coffees from Kenya, decadent salted caramels and luscious ganaches. A must-visit. Read more.
Melissa Rogers: Per Serious Eats: All of their macarons involve chocole, but The Quito—their plain chocolate macaron—nestles silky dark chocolate ganache between two milk chocolate shells. Perfection.

Douglas Kurdziel: They have moved some hot sandwiches (like the wonderful Telera and steak sandwich) to the counter in the back - don't miss them!
Jackie Burnbaum: If you're an Italian food lover, this is heaven. From the chicken Milanese salad, goat cheese tarts, refreshing salads, great lunch spot
