Serious Eats: Delicate Japanese sweets, including a unique and delicious single-serving of jelly that turns into sorbet when frozen.
Jin Moon: I had the peach jelly and it was really nice. Not too sweet just right like a white peach. It's imported from Japan. Only thing is that it's pretty pricey. 16 dollar each.
❀✿ YIᑎG ✿❀: The peach jelly is AMAZING!! Perfect for hot summer days when eaten cold!

Corinne Pulitzer: Jimmy Neary is a neighborhood institution! Try the fresh fish of the day!
Kathy McGilvery: The best lamb chops, by far, in New York City!
Harvey Glover: Great Liver and bacon but why change extra for onions? $5 for a side of spinach is a bit excessive as well. However, this is the best (Irish) Sunday night comfort food on the way over east side.
Emily Klein Epstein: This hotel is awesome! Amazing staff. Amazing amenities. Sleek rooms. Only about 2 years old. Rooms are large for NYC and for our anniversary they sent a bottle of wine and upgraded us twice!

Jen14221: A really nice hotel in a great midtown location. My room has a great little kitchenette and is fabulous.

Village Voice: Our favorite dish is boeuf en gelée, a cocktail glass of cold beef chunks lubricated with natural jelly and topped with horseradish foam. Spoon it on the slices of toast provided. Read more.
Tim Mischuk: Terrific apple dessert. Great food food and atmosphere all around. Nice contemporary European Restaurant.
The New Yorker: This sleek bistro offers “haute-cuisine versions of home-cooking favorites.” Their theatrical and legendary DB Burger is “rich, well travelled, charred in the right places, and a little bit jaded.” Read more.
