Village Voice: The carnitas tlaycoyo are incredible: hand-patted masa dough topped with crema, greens, cheese, cilantro, avocado and a salsa of your choice (green) over a bed of pork. What more could you want?
Julie G: $3 Tacos. Yummy and awesome!
Dan Bentley: The norteno burrito is close enough to a mission burrito when it's 1am and you're drunk.

Roger R: Amazing place to buy imported foods from Spain. Great store and the tapas restaurant in the back is just like Spain!! The Crema Catalana is legit, and the tortilla de Batata is a must!
Kathryn Yu: Go to Despana and get the Picante sandwich: "chorizo picante", mahon cheese, piparras (basque spicy guindilla peppers), tomatoes, aioli sauce. Amazingly good and spicy.
Noah Weiss: The picante is spicy and delicious. Chorizo with Basque peppers, tomatoes, a soft cheese, and a healthy dose of olive oil on a big crusty ciabatta.
Esther Leibel: We indulged in the truffle menu: polenta appetizer and tajerin were both amazing. We also loved the fassona meat battuta. Dessert was rich and decadent. I need to go back to try their bicerin.
lovethesecities.com: Great addition to the neighbourhood. Not just another Italian! Authentic Piedmont cuisine. Friendly service and a quaint modern space. Squash blossom, veal tonnato and scallops were all very good.
Ana T: Truffles and surprisingly good beef tartar
Crystal Zheng: Quite a unique boutique hotel, creative, artistic and modern. Nice garden and pool, great bars (Jimmy and Treehouse), amazing restaurant (David Burke's The Kitchen). Yet small rooms, non-noise proof
Anthony Lella: THE COUNTESS WOULD NEVER PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT!!
Scott: The corner rooms are definitly the pick, with floor to ceiling windows and great cityscape views towards Tribeca.

DoubleDeuce: The peanut brittle that comes with the Crema Cocina dessert is highly recommended.
Courtney Lewis: Adorable little spot with sidewalk seating available. Chips and guacamole served with delicious salsa. Get the fish tacos and frozen margarita.
People: 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.

Francesco Superchi: Sautéed zucchini blossoms filled with mozzarella, sheep's milk ricotta & marjoram. Following prosciutto Parma with Cantaloupe. I love my NYC summer lunches!
Mara Mazzoni: I'm the mayor and got a free glass after 4. Might want to ask that they remove one from the bill instead of issue a free additional.
Thompson Hotels: 60 Thompson concierge Paul says the long bar is perfect for a glass of Rose and afew appetizers while cruising SoHo.

Juan Canas: Awesome hidden jewel in the heart of SOHO!!! Great food! Cozy little place for select food lovers. Try the bruschetta with salmon. Unforgettable tastes!
Luke Kelly-Clyne: Sam Biddle has never really had a taste for calamari (he's my best friend and we've eaten calamari together many times). I thought it was divine. Pasta was so so. Overall, worth a look and a taste!
