Get the fried pickles, and the cucumber with buttermilk that was frozen into powder with liquid nitro. It sublimated at the table! Corn Potato Gnocchi were sinfully good. Can I move in next store?
Choose anything on the menu with that sexy bang bang sauce. All the food here makes me want to do naughty things. Spicy, succulent and delicious.
for traditional japanese sushi, this place is on point! It is pricey, but I think it is worth it.
Ignore the haters and decide for yourself. Step outside of your culinary comfort zone; the food is spot on here!
Two words: PJ Calapa. Talent personified and the chef at Costata. You can follow him on Twitter @texchef.
The menu is authentic, innovative and I love this area in the West Village. Check out this new restaurant and bar, which incidentally, just opened yesterday!
So much delicious food, you could definitely split a dish. The caipirinhas are tops in the city!
This place rocks! I always head here after coming off a cleanse. Its a great way to ease back in. The soups are awesome.
support the independent restaurant owners of NYC! Food is fantastic and inventive!
The carnitas that is roasted on the spit, are you kiddin me?! That and the mexican corn, crackalicious. And you can wash it down with a negra modelo. Done.
Emily Wallendjack is the pastry chef, completely gifted and passionate about cooking. Definitely worth a visit!
The spicy scallop roll here is amazing. Also, the fact that its open late night is key.
The closest thing to authentic soup dumplings in new york. The crispy beef is also really good.
Don't be afraid! The food here is incredible, and the experience will change the way you look at dining! Open your mind :)
many of the cooks from JG, Per Se, Le Bernadin and others in the area frequent this joint after work. There is a reason, the food is spot on.
Definitely worth it if you are out and about late night and looking for a place to eat and drink. Love the skewers, the noodles, ramen, and bangin selection of sake.
The food here is surprisingly good. Order the Korean style pork, the eel sushi and the tuna sashimi. I miss my old hang out in the hood!!
Spaghetti Neri: amazing! Also, I had a pasta special once with tuna meatballs. It was off the hook!
One of the best meals I have ever had. The fish is divine here, probably the best seafood in New York City. And the pastry chef is a magician!
I know, everyone comes here for burgers, but half the time I get the bird dog and swig it down with a frozen custard. Is that so wrong?
popular amongst the chef crowd after work. rustic, hearty, and fulfilling. Definitely sit downstairs if you can.
since I am an ice cream junkie, why not splurge on the best!? The flavor selection here is unparalleled in the city.
I've been a fan since day one. Great atmosphere, and to be honest I like ordering a few apps instead of a main.
honestly, you can't go wrong here. One of the most exciting additions in recent memory to the NY food scene.
I love coming here late night during the week. The beer is on point, and the food is finger lickin good.
one of the best places to go on a romantic date! Locally sourced menu, loved the asparagus "just picked".
You are actually better off ordering apps for dinner, they have an amazing selection!
The seafood paella was life changing! The best part about the authentic food here is the crispy bottom of the pan. Yum!
The Roman Trattoria of the moment. Danny Meyer never ceases to amaze with stellar food and the best service standard in New York City. Peppered chicken on Arugula. So simple, so good.
Jean-Georges himself loves the food here. Having been on a number of occasions I know why!
is the menu here worth the visit? hell yes. But, having lived in Asia now for 2 years, its tough to appreciate the ramen. Pork buns definitely rival Momofuku!
Had my birthday dinner here, and I was blown away. Impeccable service. Truffled langostine risotto, hello lover!
I really enjoy rolling in and sitting at the bar solo. Great destination after a day spent in Soho.
Any burger aficionado must pay a visit here at least once. And they are now open for lunch Wed. through Saturday until 3pm!
East Village, off the radar, spectacular food. Its a small, warm, and quaint space that will not disappoint. A neighborhood favorite!
looking to satisfy that grilled cheese craving? Beecher's delivers the goods on all levels.
Thrice cooked bacon and salt cod fried rice: a lethal combination worthy of a repeat visit!
A slice of heaven in the East Village. They have covered their BBQ bases! Awesome beer selection, and congrats on the grand opening!
I love the Tuna Tartare here. In fact, all the appetizers are amazing. No need to order a main course. Just order a bunch of small plates!
The green curry monkfish was divine. Order the kale Caesar salad and the poached egg for appetizers. Loved the radish amuse bouche!
no reservations, and the experience is so much better with more people! Stick with ordering a bunch of small plates, and damn that Pastrami Egg Roll is a gift from the heavens!
The mayor gets a drink comp upon arrival. Hells yeah. The food here is amazing, particularly any of the pork dishes and the Kimchi Fried Rice. Be prepared to wait for table; no reservations!
Once you come here, you'll never waste your time at Chipotle again. Tres Carnes is a temple of burrito amazingness.
Clearly the owners of this new restaurant in the village spared no expense on interior design. Great atmosphere. Plancha crisped chicken and the chopped root vegetable salad: great for paleo folks!
Alex Lauterstein is spinning here tonight. Great food, great drinks, AND great music. :)
The name of this joint alone should warrant a visit! Los Tacos, made my Los Guys, are the real deal. Big fan of all the grilled extras they add to the tacos. Wash it down with an agua fresca.
Two noteworthy mentions: the pastry program and the cocktails. Two thumbs up on both fronts!
if you are looking for fantastic food in Gramercy, look no further! Bring back the cornmeal soft shell crab with pickled rhubarb!
The alphabet soup is so delicious, I just wish it came in a bigger size. Can't help mentioning the "Godfather II" sub. It's a beast!
Karen DeMasco is a legend in the pastry world. Do not leave without ordering dessert!
The best substitute for Hong Kong "Cha Chan Teng" style food in NYC. No frills at a very reasonable price.
A friend of mine from Seoul introduced me to this restaurant years ago. It's been around a long time, and it is still consistently good. Best experienced in a large group!
psyched to see non "ABC" style cuisine taking center stage. Ridiculously good value for the money.
love the fact that you have no idea what is on the menu until you arrive. The best culinary experiences are when you sit back and let the chef dazzle you. Still underground but not for long!
Not only is this restaurant on my favorite block in the West Village, the bone marrow with sea urchin redefines "umami" similar to Robuchon's Eel Foie Gras Terrine.
Asian comfort food at it's finest. Ignore the reviews and just try it and decide for yourself!
"Sweet Fries" are my drug! So great to see this West Coast staple making it happen in NYC.
Go here for deliciously cheap fried pork & chive dumplings - 5 for $1. Buy a frozen bag to take home – 50 dumplings for $8. Cash only.
Anyone who hasn't splurged at least one time here, pony up. This IS culinary nirvana.
The best place to go if you follow the Paleo Diet. Tons of protein and veg mix/match options. The price is right too.
Had the beef cheeks last night. Made me want to do naughty things afterwards. Literally wiped the sauce off my plate clean with some baguette.
If you don't want to take out a second mortgage on your home for a bangin omakase, this is this the place to go. Ichi ban.
