Ask for a sample of the different mole sauces. They'll bring you a plate of them to try before ordering!
go really hungry and get the pork ribs (so salty!), fried cauliflower (whoa! i am a fan of cauliflower once again) and the corn (to balance the two sides). you'll probably take some of it home
Ramen is not the only thing this museum has to offer. The inside is set up to replicate the buildings from the Showa-era (1950's-60's) and you get to see what Japan was like back then. 続きを読む
Go to Falafel's Drive-In and order the large falafel & banana shake. You'll save $2 and get the two best items on the menu!
If someone else is picking up the tab, look for the Pappy Van Winkle on the whiskey menu.
unless you're feeling like getting fatter, don't get the big enchilada. the regular's big enough (ps. chicken fajita)
Order octopus balls from Otofaku next door and consume at the bar with a delicious Radeberger Pilsner ($4 pints during Happy Hour 4-8pm)
An honest falafel, unlike the fancy-ass Euro place on the other side of Union Sq.
Try the restaurant where Lady Gaga, just barely pre-fame, worked as a waitress. (The staff famously made her cry)
Cheap, reliable, friendly purveyors of Syrian fast food. Open late (1am weeknights, 2am weekdays), when the Village pickings are otherwise slim
the most amazing shawarma (especially when paired with the whole wheat). get the hummus on the side and save it for a good late-afternoon snack
Both of the $5 pizzas are superb, but the Marinara beats out the Margherita with its riot of oily garlicky tomatoiness
Atmospheric old-school red sauce joint too inconspicuous to attract tourists; a real outpost of lost NYC. Nobody orders off the menu here; trust the servers. Veal chop parmigiano is huge, delicious
Yeah, I know it's packed but you gotta get the steak with the butter sauce (shit, what kind of sauce was it?) and the side of mac and cheese. Bananatown delicious.
Come for the cocktails, stay for the chilaquiles. They're a traditional Mexican hangover dish, often served at weddings if the party is still going at sunrise. Get them and preempt your hangover.
Get the "Turkish Pizza". It's the closest thing to an Istanbul street pide that I've seen in the US.
Get the assiette de charcuterie. Don't forget to select the duck rillette and country pate as 2 of the 4 meats!
At the pizza/pasta place, get the pasta al forno con zucca. You will not regret it.
Hete Bliksem - new potatoes with diced apple, smoky Speck, and syrup - is transcendent comfort food. For dessert, follow with Smoutballen - pudding pastries with Nutella filling.
Amazing dumplings. Pork sandwich looked super delicious too (I'm trying that next time). You can try cutting the line by ordering at the window outside, but that's a real crapshoot.
Everything here is fabulous, from cocktails to kangaroo (seriously!). -Gail Simmons, Top Chef.
This is the best place in New York to take a date hands down. You can order $12 pizza or $9 pasta and use your remaining money to impress your date by ordering an expensive wine.
Order the Bloody Mary. It's an experience in itself, and the best Bloody Mary in the whole city. Also, if you're eating there, skip the famous mutton chop and go for the filet mignon or Chateaubriand.
Whatever you do, make sure to order up the fried chicken, pork belly and the salmon. Bonus: the sake comes in Zelda-esque potion bottles. You'll never defeat Gannon without a backup bottle!
It's open 24/7, which pretty much speaks for itself. It's a diner, serves its purpose, and you can order chocolate chip waffles at 3 in the morning. Done and done.
Made famous by Seinfeld, Tom’s Restaurant is a Columbia student staple that has been around since the 1940s. It is perfect for Greek-American diner classics or a milkshake and gravy fries at 3 a.m. 続きを読む
When I was looking for apartments my broker, Alex, said this place was excellent!
Spaghetti and meatballs, just don't try to eat the whole thing alone. Great mixed drinks and garlic bread as well, but get there early, or be ready to wait.
So romantic! Grab a glass of your favorite cocktail and cozy up with someone late at night on a couch by the fire.
get a dosa, they're great! everything on the menu is pretty great. some of the best south and north Indian in NYC.
AMAZING food -- coconut cream pie, Veggie burger, lentil soup, tacos, enchiladas -- everything we ordered was fork-lickin delicious and kind to the earth. Who could ask for a better dinner?
For brunch, eggs Benedict gets a twist, being served on crispy waffles studded with chewy lardons. A regular special is deliciously light pancakes with cream and fruit, like freshly sliced peaches. 続きを読む
start with the alma blanca. maybe some of that corn too. then pick anything else from the menu -- you can't go wrong. (chef ortiz used to work at la esquina back in new york city!)
Everyone knows to get the corn, but try the rice milk. Get it to go and walk around the hood.
As far out as the Eater 38 ventures. Worth the trip, given that this Thai food is considered to be the best in the five boroughs. If you don't know, now you know: see-PRA-pie. [Eater 38 Member] 続きを読む
It’s an earthier take on weekend brunch here where New York’s reigning Iron Chef turns out thick waffles with fried quail and an ingenious “Eggs Benny.” Featured in Where to Eat 2011! 続きを読む
You're probably already here, so my tip to GO BEFORE OPENING is probably wasted on you. So I'll just say, GET A WHOLE PIE. Round or square. Both great. It's not worth the wait for only a slice or two. 続きを読む
For the best experience, speak the word omakase. Whether you’re doing the full monty or just sushi or sashimi, put yourself in the meticulous chef’s hands. - Inspector
The food is amazing! The breadcrumbs in the stuffed artichoke reminded me of my grandmas! The rigatoni was excellent too.
"Zabb Elee" is a Thai saying used when a dish is extremely spicy (always in a good way)
experiment with different appetizers, everything is healthy and fresh. even monk fish liver pate, if you into that.
2-hour wait on a Friday night, but try and find a place at the bar - it's worth it. The beets in avocado and chicken were incredible.
Try the red wine with fresh fruit and the grilled marinated artichokes to start. Mama Teresa also makes incredible torta di nutella
New on the menu: baked curry. It's the usual rice, choice of topping, and curry, but served in a gratin and with a baked egg on top. Amazingly delicious.
If this is your first visit, get the traditional afghan meal. It comes with several small courses that are amazingly delicious 続きを読む
One of the best date places in NYC. You want to make sure to get seated around the communal table so you can watch the chefs in action. Get the crab rice, it takes 30 min but it's worth it.
Go on, add that fried egg to your Vietnamese sandwich...you know you want to! Baoguette's got some of the best cheap eats in town...a must after pub-crawling through the East Village!
"Cajun Pacific has a tiny kitchen, idiosyncratic hours of operation, and the best food in the Outer Sunset. Don't go there. In fact, forget you ever saw this." - Robin Sloan 続きを読む
Incredibly fun and delicious restaurant. Let your waitress order your food. Start your evening with a Dr. Funk and stay for the late-night experience.
The dishes with mochi are phenomenal, as are all the mushrooms. The omlet appetizer is a must!
You can't go wrong with the sample platter, but go for the meat & potato dumplings too. Maybe order an extra side of kielbasa.
From a friend who knows what he's talking about: the Peking duck, the whole crab steamed in rice, the clay pot with chicken and tofu and and salt cod, and some dish with lamb chop.
A "palapa" is an open-air, thatched-roof structure; they're useful common spaces on hot, sunny days. Get the jicama with lime and chile, a popular and refreshing treat for just such days.
This bar specializes in pulques (made from fermented agave sap) and has a full menu with goodness like stuffed masa pockets known as Gorditas de Requeson O Papa Con Chorizo. 続きを読む
Put the menu away and just get the $50 tasting menu. Get the wine pairing too. Make sure you finish w the carmelized torija & a glass of the Jorge Ordinez
This is how Brighton was meant to be. One of the few places left with that opulent charm circa 1995. Come for the food, stay for the show, and get carried out from the vodka.
Named after the three milks it's soaked in (evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream), the "tres leches" sponge cake here is better than any I've had in NYC and as good as most I've had in Latin America
tasty banh mi sandwiches made with seasonal greenmarket veg (try the cauliflower one) and an upstairs "dining room" overlooking a rental car garage make this a sneaky fave for perfection
This East Village duplicate of the Park Slope success opens on Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Try the margaritas and the mole enchiladas. 続きを読む
Get yourself some of these killer Brussel Sprouts, son! They're roasty, spicy, Parmesan cheesy delicious.
Old style Japanese restaurant. They'll save your bottle of saki FOR YEARS with your name on it.
Each theater has paired seats and tables where twosomes can nosh while taking in indie and retro flicks. Split the Nitehawk Queso, with melted cheese, black beans, spicy chorizo and cooling guac. 続きを読む
Serving dinner until midnight. Best high-end Italian in the Mission. From the owners of Delfina!
Japanese tacos are tasty, try the Carnitas. Wish they were smaller for more sampling, 2x the expected portion so plan accordingly. Overall its a bit more fun than foodie but thats cool
cant say enough about the ravioli filled with ricotta, accompanied by brown sugared butternut squash.have it with the gavi.decadent!
Best grilled salmon, best scallops, best oysters to be found in the East Village. Killer $12 oysters & beers happy hour too. Nothing on the menu disappoints.
Go to Barbone (13th and B?) and order up off the 5-course tasting menu ($35!). Sit in the garden if you can.
Perched on the roof of Bloomingdale's department store, a meticulous replica of a dining car from a Victorian-era European luxury train line, the Blue Train. More info from @nycscout after the jump. 続きを読む
This opulent 8,000-square-foot, three-story Midtown restaurant opens today with a focus on pre-Revolutionary food. In addition to the dining room and a vodka bar, there is a pastry counter. 続きを読む
"Some ramen broths detonate at first spoonful, then fizzle out halfway through; others start off meek and turn carnal. Ganso aspires to the latter." - Ligaya Mishan for the New York Times 続きを読む
Get the fondue for two, a bottle of red (if they don't have an alcohol license yet, ask for the private stash), and finish off with their divine rendition of the pêche Melba.
Duck pancake, which is more like a sandwich than a pancake, is the best $2 snack in the LES. (h/t Ari from CultureFix)
Just Opened. Taste: The ground lamb sticks are flavored w/ cumin & garlic, but you can mix & match as many sticks as you want, including 24hr marinated pork, chicken, and shrimp w/ orange & olive oil. 続きを読む
Junoon’s underground spice room is at the heart of the restaurant’s every dish. Every spice used is ground fresh daily—giving each masala and curry a unique aroma that couldn't be found in a box.
Tired of ALL the other ramen you’ve had in NYC? Try the apple noodle ramen with Brussels sprouts and pickled carrots.
Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale FTW. The gnocchi & shrimp gritz too. Pretzel chicken doesn't live up to the hype.
Best 24hr drunken diner in Seattle. Attempt the 12-egg omelette if you're feeling brave. Or settle for the 6-egg omelette and pig out on all-you-can-eat hash browns.
Oysters, escargots, foie gras, steak frites, filet mignon. Oh, and keep that red wine flowing. Cozy spot & great staff. A hidden neighborhood gem that's been right in your face the entire time.
Located on the France/Italy border, this place is magical. Watch boats float by on the Mediterranean and eat fresh seafood. Beware of mosquitos.
Superb ramen (get the tonkotsu with both chashu and kakuni pork) and generally very good cooked dishes. Get the BBQ Kobe beef ribs and the fried shrimp with chili sauce.
Awesome spot off the beaten path. Two bocce courts in the back. Ask for a table outside with heaters. Great for groups.

Not really paying for the food, you're paying for the show! If you 're a geek , or not, you'll enjoy watching all the lights, girls and moving robots.
It's not easy for a Jewish guy to open a ramen joint in Tokyo. It's even harder to get Japanese people to say it's good. Ivan did both and now he's here in New York, home of the Jews, to feed us.
The Little Beet Table opens for vegetable lovers and gluten haters. The farmhouse-style restaurant has mix and match furniture and vegetables in every form, but also a good old fashioned cheeseburger. 続きを読む
The star here is the the chana masala sandwich: a ciabatta roll filled with arugula, pickled onions, two kinds of chutney, and a scoop of the traditional spicy, stewy chickpeas. 続きを読む
Love the atmosphere in the place! Bar does a mean cocktail - and the dinner menu is full of interesting options.
