Akhil Chopra: Amazing food. A must do when in NY. Hanger Steak, Kimchi and Fried Rice was amazing.
Village Voice: For dessert, opt for the tropical rice pudding or one of the many excellent pies on rotation. Ironically, there's no Dutch fare, but no doubt Carmellini could make army-green pea soup sparkle. Read more.
