Unexpected garden in the back for an al fresco cocktail or two.
Excellent refined corned beef hash brunch and fantastic high tea
This is a @naveen kind of place. If your cheekbones are as glorious as his, you should go here.
See and be seen when you’re dining al fresco at this SoHo staple. Just don’t be surprised if your secret convo ends up on Page Six - or on gossipgirl.net. Read more.
Bakery is amazing and cheap. The restaurant is pretty much the best straightahead French Bistro in New York.

Fantastic espresso and an even better patio. Come chill out with the Sunday crossword or a good magazine for a lazy afternoon.
Pretend like you're serious about buying a surfboard. Take it off the rack. Place it on the floor. Remove your shoes. Hang-10. Then order a latte and walk out.
the back deck is one of my favorite places in nyc. (ssssh!)
Black bean & avocado quesadillas! Comes with crack sauce. If you like meat: the pork tacos.
Chipotle pork rolled quesadilla is what you want
Fun fact: When I'm rich and eccentric, I'm going to order my staff to prepare a tub of Crack Sauce I can bathe in
Best burger in town. Tacos are tasty, too.
This haute Mexican eatery is harder to get into than Harvard, having built a rep around fancy tequilas and ceviche. Can't snag abooth? The no-frills, street-level taqueria can sate your wounded ego.
Try the Pescado a las Brasas taco, available at the sit-down café and takeout taqueria. It's one of NYC's 26 best tacos! Read more.
If they offer the pumpkin bread pudding, spinach, poached egg, cheese, butter sauce brunch special, GET IT! So good.
Despite finding plastic in my burger, I'd still come back. So good.
The perfect brunch spot in the heart of Soho! Stylish and airy interior and excellent food. Try the heavenly goat cheese-sage bread pudding and poached eggs with wilted spinach and lemon butter. Read more.
Five-star service, a relaxed approach to excellent wine, consistently delicious food, and a little bit of hip hop.
“The food is comforting, with some ingenious additions, like uni in a creamy duck-egg spaghetti, and mint and pistachios in a lemony farro salad.” Read more.
Get the fluke (every time), Knife and Fork salad (almost certainly), pasta special (if it sounds proper) and then roll from there. Bird is the word.
Great for a fast lunch with healthy options. Avocado Toast is a great vegan option.
Loud as fuck at brunch.
Try the eggplant sandwich with a side salad. Skip the matzoh ball soup though.
Solid wine bar with good bites. Also, you can't go wrong with Murray's cheese selections!
A unique wine bar where you can design your own wine. Great live music too!
You MUST check out the mens room.
Stop by for an afternoon tea and colorful macarons! The raspberry tart is super great!
Plan ahead and make reservations to get a good spot. Rude Europeans :)
One of the best place in SoHo with a great NY view. And their cocktails are almost perfect!
Yes folks, it's another rooftop! Drinks are pricey..but oh what a view! social media: no real twitter presence yet. Try this place to chill before or after a show nearby...
Cinnamon infused old fashioned. Now that's a winner.
Spicy calamari - Don't leave without trying it! Also, amazing service. I was truly impressed.
Classic italian done right. The Mad Calamari smothered in spicy marinara is a MUST. Go with the penne w/ vodka sauce or carbonara and you'll leave happy. Pay with cover and skip waiting for the check!
Get the galli salad you won't be disappointed
Great jazz music for brunch, yami mideterenian food, antique atmosphere, grear service... nice owner... & turkish baklava ;)
Totally lovely and adorable spot. Come for brunch with live jazz, and share the Turkish breakfast platter. Sit by the open doors w a cocktail when it's warm, or cozy up w mint green tea in winter.
Turkish coffee, the real deal!
Awesome spot, good food and they even have milkshakes to go!
Burger and fries are a delicious choice. If you get the burger - flip it over immediately. Otherwise the bottom of the English muffin will get all soggy :(
Try the unconventional ants on a log. Roasted and split marrow bones studded with garlicky Pernod-and-fennel-butter-drenched snails. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
