Elizabeth Pearson: Black truffle quesadilla is out of this world! Also, try the medium guacamole; it has pomegranate and pineapple. Definitely my new favorite place in the UES!
Paige C: The ambiance, service and food were all outstanding. We had a lovely waiter who was fun and engaging. Don't miss the mango & pomegranate guacamole mixed with any combination of homemade tacos. YUM!
Majoros Kriszta: Great Margaritas (my fave is: De la Calle), amazing (!!!) guacamole with pomegranate, incredible ceviche, quesadillas, churros.The best Mexican fine dining I've ever had! Highly recommended in NYC!!!

Allison Kim: Sour cherry rice is relish! Try the chicken pomegranate stew and the lamb shank for entrees! Bakalava is to die for.
Leo Fuentealvah: The chicken stew with pomegranates and nuts is very delicious! The beef stew has something on top, I think it's a truffle, be ready for an explosion of flavor in your mouth!
Rahmin Pavlovic: Ask for tahdig (sounds more like ta'dik). Not on the menu, bit they serve it. Delicious!

Roxana Georgescu: If you're not sure what to order, go with the Family style menu...a little bit of everything plus their wonderful stew in pomegranate sauce. I also loved the persian tea (black tea with fresh mint)
Anoud Alammar: Bread, pomegranate rice and bread again.
Francis Kinder: Delicious Persian restaurant. Change your regular rice for one of the specialty ones - you won't regret!

Alyssa K: My go-to froyo place! Recently tried pomegranate with nutella, cookie crumbs, & yogurt chips. You'll want to beg for mercy b/c its too good it's almost bad, but it's great to splurge a bit. ;)
Signs Visual: The pomegranate with chocolate churro, and blueberries is delicious here! http://www.pinkberry.com/store-detail/?id=13 Read more.
Lauren Goodwin: Original with strawberries and the new brownie bites is the best!

Nancy Andrews: Omg this food is so good! Curry chicken and spinach with cheese!!! Don't forget the nan!
Kai Technolust: Really good vindaloo, excellent service! Our water glasses never went below 1/4 full and we were meeting a friend from Ohio so even after we paid we stayed to talk & they brought water.
MN R: Great service! Very nice and friendly staff. And the food was delicious. Garlic naan was my favorite. But tikka masala was great too. The rice pudding was a nice way to top it off.

Mediterranean Restaurant · Upper East Side · 71 tips and reviews
Untapped Cities: Amali has an artisanal cheese and salumi selection to try alongside signature wines (there’s about 400 options to choose from)! Read more.
The Wall Street Journal: Try the mushroom or the artichoke crostini. The eggplant vegetable dish is seasonal and well-flavored, with a yogurt honey base and a kick of Calabrian chili puree. Read more.
Sarah Arnold: You can't go wrong with the tagliatelle or orecchiette special if it's available. The burrata app and Brussels are also great. But whatever you do, get the eggplant. And of course pay with Cover!

Grocery Store · Upper East Side · 35 tips and reviews
Ms Helene: Gourmet grocer with good salad & cooked selection. Also frozen yogurt and benches outside
Susan Kille: Get a coffee & tasty pastry & head for long row of benches out front to sit in morning sun & watch folks across street in Starbucks who paid more for less & are inside in the shade.
Serious Eats: A good source for sweets like chocolate crackle, Tate's Bake Shop goodies, and Payard pastries.
Tom DiMaggio: An upper east side gem, excellent list of rotating craft beers on tap, great food. Come during daytime happy hour for cheap prices!
The Wall Street Journal: The Jeffrey Craft Beer & Bites is one of those places where even hard-core beer geeks may not know every offering on the draft list. Read more.
Brew York: Patrick Donagher has done it again. 30 rotating tap lines at two bars, growler fills, well-executed food, and a big backyard. Grab an NY brew ($5 from 11-7) and marvel at the bad-ass draft system.
