Motorino (4/5) on Yelp →
Went here last night after the bf found a Serious Eats article featuring Motorino’s brussel sprouts pizza with pancetta. I’m a sucker for those bitter sprouts so I was pretty excited. Motorino took…

Cinema Cafe On 34th (1/5) on Yelp →
Three strikes you’re out. After going to this restaurant two times and having horrible dining experiences, I decided to give it another shot in hopes that maybe the first two times were a fluke. I…
Allen & Delancey (4/5) on Yelp →
I only heard good things about this restaurant so when the opportunity came along to eat here, I jumped at the chance. The restaurant’s decor is really rustic; dark rooms with exposed brick walls,…

Lil' Frankie's (4/5) on Yelp →
Craving delicious pasta, the bf and I decided to hit up Lil’ Frankie’s for dinner since he’s been once before and raved about it. The wait was crazy and took over an hour to get seated. I can…
Good Restaurant (4/5) on Yelp →
Another great brunch spot in the West Village/Greenwich area! Of course, a fairly long wait during peak hours but the staff is really friendly. The hostess was attentive and did well to accommodate…

Cafe Greco (2/5) on Yelp →
What a totally random and confusing place! The restaurant says their Greek but mostly everything on the menu were typical Italian dishes (chicken parmesan, pasta). My friend and I walked in randomly…
SoleFood (3/5) on Yelp →
I’m not sure how I feel about this place. I came down to Philly to visit a friend and we chose this place to eat for lunch/brunch. This restaurant is attached to a hotel so the restaurant has a…
Kun Jip (4/5) on Yelp →
I find this the best Korean food in K-town with the most authentic taste and at the best prices (for sit down service). There is usually a line out the door for the wait but don’t be scared off by…
Tavern on 7 (4/5) on Yelp →
Heading to a weekend trip to Vermont with friends we took a break from the road to get a bite to eat. After driving down a long road off a random exit and faced with an Outback or a handful of (and…
La Giara (4/5) on Yelp →
I’m in the Murray Hill area a lot and La Giara is definitely a diamond in the rough. Among the blocks and blocks of dive bars and low priced/low quality restaurants (Joshua Tree and Blockheads) is a…
Il Corallo Trattoria (4/5) on Yelp →
I absolutely love this place. Il Corallo reminds me of restaurants in the back streets of Rome or Florence, where there is no fuss, no muss on dining etiquette but their decor still looks homely and…
Essex (1/5) on Yelp →
SO THIS where all the rude trendy hipster people join together for brunch hungover on Sunday! This is the first brunch joint that I went to with a long wait that I didn’t enjoy after dining. A…
Riingo (3/5) on Yelp →
I’ve only been to Riingo a few times for lunch and I’ve only had an average experience here. I’m not really wowed by the food. I only remember ordering the steak entree with mushrooms once and then…
Ninja New York (3/5) on Yelp →
My coworkers and I were very excited to head over to Ninja for dinner one night since we only heard good things about this place but I think we had too high expectations going in to really enjoy the…
Butter Restaurant (3/5) on Yelp →
Came here with good friends (Krista J!! ;-)) for restaurant week and had a great time. I really want to give this place a 3.5 because I’m wasn’t a huge fan where I would come back but I enjoyed my…
Jane (4/5) on Yelp →
Jane is definitely another great Brunch go-to. Another joint that requires a pretty long wait if you arrive at peak time but the food is well worth it.
I usually come to Jane an hour before I want…
Shanghai Mong (1/5) on Yelp →
I was craving Chinese-Korean food so I asked my mom to take me in K-town. She took my here since this was the only place that had this style of food in the area. Boy was I disappointed! I really…

Jackson Diner (4/5) on Yelp.com →
Maybe it’s nostalgia because I grew up in Jackson Heights and came here at least once a month during my childhood but this place is still the best Indian food I ever had (in NY. India had the BEST…
41st Street Medical Center (4/5) on Yelp.com →
I was looking for a Primary Care Physician and needed to get vaccines for a vacation to India and was referred to the 41st Street Medical Center through a friend to meet Kamal Ramani, M.D. This was…
Penelope (4/5) on Yelp.com →
Oh PENELOPE! WHY DO YOU TEASE ME SO? What an amazing brunch spot! Food is amazing, decor is SO cute, people are so friendly BUT WHY WHY WHY WHY must your wait be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
Uva (5/5) on Yelp.com →
I’ve been to UVA several times even before I moved to this area and I’m in LOVE :) What a great romantic spot. It’s good for a date and even for a starting place for a girls night out. The design…
E-Mo (1/5) on Yelp.com →
When I saw a store strictly making and selling kimbap (korean style sushi) I was SO excited. Unfortunately… the excitement didn’t last very long… I’m a stickler for authenticity and since I…
Maruzzella Ristorante (4/5) on Yelp.com →
I live right by Maruzzella and have come here a few times and have always been happy with my meal. Whatever dish you get here you can guarantee that the food will taste fresh and will satisfy your…
Ess-A-Bagel (3/5) on Yelp.com →
I always go back and forth with Ess-A-Bagel. Their bagels can be amazing but not always. I find that to get the best quality bagel you have to come earlier and be one of the lucky ones who are…
Dessert Club, ChikaLicious (5/5) on Yelp.com →
I’ve been to the chikalicous bar a couple of years ago and remember it being amazing (I’ve decided not to yelp it just yet since I plan to go back there soon and give it a proper review when the…
Momofuku Bakery / Milk Bar (2/5) on Yelp.com →
While I’m a huge fan of the Momofuku empire, I was deeply disappointed in their bakery. Overly sweet to a point you go into sugar shock after one bite of the blondie pumpkin pie. We also had the…

Una Pizza Napoletana (5/5) on Yelp.com →
The pizza here is phenomenal. The best I’ve EVER had (I’m obsessed with pizza.) You have a choice between four types of pizza. We ordered the Margarita (sauce, cheese) and the biana (cheese only).…
Gotham Pizza (4/5) on Yelp.com →
Personally, I think Gotham has the best quality tasting pizza in the neighborhood. While the pies seem a little smaller in size to me, the sauce and the cheese all taste of high quality. The bread…
Vero (3/5) on Yelp.com →
Vero COULD be a really good wine bar if they didn’t try to play themselves off as a trendy-meatpacking-district-loungy spot. They last electronic techno music and everyone at the bar seemed uptight…
Perbacco (5/5) on Yelp.com →
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I read about Perbacco being delicious through a number of different sources so I finally got to go for my anniversary. What an amazing place! The food was delicious, the ambiance…
Smith's (3/5) on Yelp.com →
A block away from the dive bars of Macdougal street is a quiet street with a handful of restaurants that seem very dining-worthy. A group of my co-workers and I went to Smith’s and we walked into a…
Beanochhio Cafe (4/5) on Yelp.com →
I live in the UES and this the best coffee I found in the area so far. The place has a cozy coffee bar feeling where you know you can sit, read and relax for hours if you had the choice. However, it…
Buttercup Bake Shop (4/5) on Yelp.com →
While my favorite cupcake place is Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery, Buttercup has by far the BEST banana pudding. It’s filled with so much banana and vanilla wafers you’ll always have both in every…
Buddakan (5/5) on Yelp.com →
This is the best Asian Fusion I’ve tasted so far. The place is obviously overpriced and you can’t come here regularly but the food has such good strong tastes and flavors you won’t regret splurging…
Bite (3/5) on Yelp.com →
The sandwiches here taste a little above average than your regular sandwich place you would go to for lunch (Pax, Cafe Metro) but it didn’t wow me. I had the Turkey & Pesto Panini. It was good but…
Les Sans Culottes (4/5) on Yelp.com →
A friend and I went to have dinner here since I heard about the sausage tower for every table and was very pleasantly surprised!! The restaurant has a really nice homely European ambiance and can…

Panna II Garden Indian Restaurant (2/5) on... →
Sorry. This place is not good even for the cheap prices or the kinda cool ambiance (which made me force a bunch of people to go here in the first place) I cannot honestly believe people when they…
Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery (5/5) on Yelp.com →
My FAVORITE cupcake place. So much better than every other cupcake shop in the city. Their cake is moist and their frosting is sweet but doesn’t have you going into sugar shock. All their flavors…
Tribeca Grill (4/5) on Yelp.com →
I read past reviews before coming here and I was not expecting much but HELLO! The food was SO good! Just one negative point, the location of this place is so inconvenient. It’s very deep into…
Jade Eatery & Lounge (3/5) on Yelp.com →
Went here with a couple of friends on a Friday night since one of my friends just moved into the Forest Hills area. The ambiance of the place was really hip and trendy. I would say a few knotches…
Sarabeth's East (4/5) on Yelp.com →
I’ve only been here once for brunch and I love Sarabeth’s mainly for their AMAZING pancakes. It’s the best that I’ve ever tasted so far in my life! They were soft and fluffy and unbelievably tasty!…
