Most inventive omakase I've had. Great mix of traditional and non-traditional pieces with the freshest fish from Tsukiji and beyond.
Chef Mark works hard to make delicious food. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the broth is just right. The kani salad and kara-age are awesome starters. Get the vanilla ice cream for dessert.
The ricotta and garlic bruschetta! The pizza! The grilled prawns! The lambrusco! Avoid grilled chick skewers (v bland), risotto balls (also bland).
NY. Trust me this is the best sushi in NY. Hands down. You must get the omakase and trust the sushi chef. You won't regret it.
Recommended: Oysters and Pearls, gateau of foie gras, clam chowder, sweet corn velouté, omelet with mushroom duxelles and aged tamari, butter-poached lobster; pressed duck. Подробнее.
Amazing pastrami. Share the sandwich with your best girl - friendly on the wallet and the waistline.
Clams Oreganata and the Penne ala Vodka are the best in the world! and the Bread is amazing! They treat you better than family here!
Anyone who lives anywhere close to East 86th Street is a regular here—and no one minds the high kitsch factor. Fajita plates and margaritas are massive and immensely satisfying. [Eater 38 Member] Подробнее.
A classy neighborhood joint with a good bar and great classic French bistro fare. The hefty grilled burger is worth a try as well.
The neighborhood Italian restaurant you wish your neighborhood had. Ricotta ravioli is one of the city's top plates of pasta.
There's a short menu of hefty, meaty sandwiches. Ask for plenty of extra dipping sauce to make the most of them.
Their fresh-baked bread is washed in olive oil and dusted with salt. Buy a loaf - they sell out quickly!
I went with the carne enchilada torta. The outside of the bread wasn't as crusty as I've had it before—but I'm no bolillo expert and it was still delicious.
For the best soul food in the area, try the excellent home-cooked fare at Spoonbread Too (make sure to hit their side dishes and red velvet cake).
Ordering here is always chaotic, especially if you don't speak Spanish... but the food is *really* good.
YUMMY rotisserie chicken and so cheap too,an entire bird for $8!The medium portion of yellow rice at $3.50 is enough to feed 3-4.
The roasted chicken is the best so yummy u get full before u even finish the plate
Huge platters of perfectly fried and salted fish. Definitely go with the fish and shrimp combo – a handful or two of shrimp, fish, French fries and bread! Cash only.
Assemble a Negroni, and if you have time and money, order the tasting menu. Otherwise, the best bet is pasta and out. Подробнее.
Robert Sietsema's 2 star review: "The caldo de pata (cow-foot soup, $10) mat remind you of tonkotsu broth used in Japanese ramen; it's gooey and good for your complexion via the dissolved collagen." Подробнее.
Open 24hrs. Come here for a bite after late night partying., I'm partial to egg and cheese on a roll for 2.25! Tasty, cheap, convenient!
Robert Sietsema dined on mafe, a Senegalese lamb stew in a creamy peanut sauce, served with white rice topped with a steamed Scotch bonnet pepper, for extra spiciness. Not hot enough? Ask for "pima." Подробнее.
So damn good. But watch out with the fries, sometimes they taste like microwaved McDonald's fries, soggy and nasty.
Wow this place! Awesome music food is really good. A fun time, expect to pay for it though.
One of Robert Sietsema's top cheap eats: the wings ($7.81 for six pieces, or sometimes seven) are big and meaty and glazed, and constitute perfect stoner food. Подробнее.
This seven-stool "northwestern Chinese soul food" joint has locals swooning. Try out the Lagman Noodles plopped into some Tingly Spicy Mutton Soup. Подробнее.
The ox burger is outstanding, good prime rib and if they have special fried oysters do not pass them up!
This classic eatery hasn't been around for 100 years for no reason - the smoked fish, latkes, and friendly waitstaff are legendary. But beware - you'll never settle for subpar lox ever again!
The all-kosher menu — a first for the team — includes hits from the original appetizing shop plus its cafe spinoff. Expect smoked fish platters, knishes, bagels, soups, salads, and egg creams. Подробнее.
The Kyoto ramen is so good with a mix of fish broth and chicken broth! Try a cocktail or three...there is no holding back of alcohol in the cocktails!
The $40 Chef's Omakase is probably one of the best and tasty sushi deals I've encountered on the UWS. 12 pieces + 1 maki roll, prepared with much TLC. Each piece is amazing. Must. Try.
The Mac & Cheese is amazing and French Dips are great. Will be back but with a bigger group to share!
A small place that specializes in small plates. That mezze w/ curry chik is tasty. Cod fritters and shrimp are worth the trip alone. $4 wine for happy hour b4 8pm. Can we get them to stay open later?
Amazing omakase, such a great deal! The chef was kind enough to explain all of the fish and where they're from. Friendly atmosphere and he even helped correct our method of picking up the fish!
Spicy Tonkotsu: Our favorite among the spicy choices is based on pork-bone tonkotsu, and achieves its results with chile oil and black garlic. Подробнее.
Amazing coffee. Rock hard cheese rolls. 2 cases with 3 shelves each...and barely anything on them. No menus, but they seem to do hot breakfast sandwiches if you already know what to order.
seasonal menu + a strong craft-cocktail game + killer ambience = a gem that won't stay hidden for long. try a salad to start, then elote with ribs, churros for dessert, and a spicy margarita!
