Climb up to this new rooftop oasis where you can nom on “numb chips” – aptly named Szechuan pepper chips – whilst swigging a Japanese or German beer. Winner’s circle worthy indeed.
The 3 arepas to get: de pabellon (shreeded beef, sweet plantains, white cheese), la surena (chicken, chorizo, avocado), and la de pernil (roast pork shoulder, jalepenos, fried sweet plantains).
Tired of getting ripped off on crab at most restaurants? Get the crab curry here extra spicy and you'll get enough to feed 3 people, soaked in a delicious and dangerously spicy broth.
The spicy miso ramen is as good as any of the ramens from Ippudo. There's really nothing else you should get here. Make it extra spicy.
SeriousEats loves this place. Recommended dishes: Toam Zabb soup with chili, Pad Ped Moo Korb (stir fry), and Kra Pao. Leia mais.
Get the akamaru modern if it's your first time -- by far the most popular. Otherwise, the spicy miso ramen at the bottom of the menu. And obviously, you need to the pork buns. Better than momofuku.
This tiny little venue has tiny little prices for their delightful dumplings. The sesame pancakes are also great, and perfect to grab to-go on your way to picnic in the park, just a block west.
I could eat a pound of the chicken liver mouse on Challah toast, and I don't even like chicken liver. Bonus: the restaurant is huge, comfortable, and great looking.
It's a dive bar that has a great, not that grungy vibe on the weekends. Drinks are cheap. The huge mug of delicious dark & stormy for $8 is the clear read.
“It retains the coziness of a speakeasy ... though with its framed images of skulls, roses, and other vintage tattoos it brings to mind the rowdier end of St. Marks Place.” Leia mais.
$9 for your choice of six fresh pastas and eleven sauces. Absolutely delicious and easily the best pasta value in the East Village.
only open thursday - sunday, but you can get their scoops and pints at sustainable nyc around the corner other days.
One of my favorite bars in the east village. Buck hunter, skee ball, darts, and pool tables. Play all four games in a World Series with your friends.
Lots of tv's, great bloody marys and buck hunter/pinball. Friendly staff, chill vibe and all around great neighborhood dive. You can even order food in, no problem.
