A retro decorated seafood restaurant/bar, this West Village gem is great for oysters, especially with their oyster happy hour deal.
For authentic soul food, look no further than Amy Ruth's in Harlem. Everything on the menu is good but its the chicken and waffles that we love.
This popular vegetarian restaurant will satisfy even the most-stubborn meat-lover! Only downside is that the place is tiny, so be sure to book a table well in advance.
Monday night special $10 burger and beer is the best deal in Brooklyn. Burger was so so good. Porticos as an app were excellent - coming from a guy who knows his polish food.
Get your rolls to go and eat them in the backyard of The Ice House (with a beer), down the block.
Rock shrimp for app. American dream roll and spicy scallop roll are my favs. Pass on the king crab roll not worth it. Pink lady nothing to write home about.
My favorite thai food in Carroll Gardens / Cobble Hill. Super reasonably priced. Massaman chicken curry is my staple. Crispy calamari for your app.
Philly cheesesteak is unlike any I've ever had. Dare I say it's gourmet steak and cheese? Split a side of Tallegio bacon Mac n cheese! Ho-doggy!

Best option in the neighborhood -if you can get in. Something for everyone at Jonathan Waxman's midtown spot, pizzette and pastas are amazing, salads are bright and seasonal, chicken is perfect!
As a wise waiter told us "there's life before Grandma's Ragu, and then there's life after." I can probably say the same about the sautéed calamari and the fennel alla parmigiana. #impeccable
Food is always great but boy do they have a killer brunch. Try the Chavela's Omelette (avocado, bacon and cheese) w/ a side of chorizo hash. Bonus: they put cinnamon in their coffee so it's mad cozy.
The rolls are huuuuge! One is big enough for lunch or a light dinner. The Farmer's Bowl is also amazing!
Love this place! The oysters are great, the burger is maybe the best in NYC, and the apps and drinks are always on point. The best neighborhood joint you could hope for.
Urm...DELICIOUS! Shrimp is a must order. Also the pickled pineapple and homemade coconut ice creams are awesome. Also good options for vegetarians as they have great bok choy and jerk seitan. Yummmm
