“Chicken Marcella with mushrooms over pasta 🍝 their special was great“

“Joe was an outstanding axe-throwing instructor! He explained everything clearly, made safety a priority, and kept the session fun and engaging the whole time. Whether you were brand new or already had some experience, Joe made sure everyone felt confident and improved their throws. His energy and encouragement really made the experience memorable. Highly recommend“

“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“I wouldn’t call Katana a dive bar, but on a Tuesday night it felt like a great neighborhood bar. Relaxed atmosphere. Was surprised at how small it was but that added to the chill vibe. I bet on a Thirsty Thursday and the weekend that all changes, but the bartenders and the craft cocktails will be just as great.“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“Food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the staff was lovely! So patient and attentive, would definitely go back again.“

“Purely epic. All about it!“

“The Happiest Hour is a vibrant, retro-style bar with a beachy, playful vibe. The cocktails are fun and well-crafted, and the food leans toward elevated bar favorites. The atmosphere is energetic and social, making it a great spot for groups or a lively night out. A go-to place for good times in NYC.“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Absolutely love Salinas Restaurant! From the service to the food, everything was flawless. I had amazing drinks. The menu is packed with great options, and every dish we tried was outstanding. Nothing disappoints here.

I had an excellent experience overall, highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be back.“

“এই রেস্তোরাঁটি খুবই যুক্তিসঙ্গত মূল্যে অবিশ্বাস্যভাবে সুস্বাদু খাবার সরবরাহ করে। পরিষেবাটি অসাধারণ, এবং সামগ্রিক অভিজ্ঞতা অসাধারণ। দাম সাশ্রয়ী রাখার পাশাপাশি এত উচ্চ মানের খাবার বজায় রাখার জায়গা খুঁজে পাওয়া বিরল। নিঃসন্দেহে, এটি আমার অভিজ্ঞতার মধ্যে সেরা রেস্তোরাঁগুলির মধ্যে একটি। This restaurant offers incredibly delicious food at very reasonable prices. The service is outstanding, and the overall experience is wonderful. It is rare to find a place that maintains such high quality while keeping prices affordable. Without a doubt, this is one of the best restaurants I have ever experienced.“

“Uno de los mejores Bares del Mundo“

“Great food, great Guinness, great vibes! Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!“

“Panzón in Greenpoint is such a delightful spot! I had the chance to sit outside, and it was the perfect setting for a relaxed, sunny meal. The atmosphere is casual, welcoming, and full of energy, making it a lovely place to enjoy food with friends or family.

The food was absolutely delicious. I started with the street corn, which was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and the ideal combination of smoky, creamy, and tangy. For my main, I tried a few of the tacos, and each one was packed with fresh ingredients and bold, vibrant flavors. The balance of textures and seasonings in each taco made every bite a little celebration of authentic Mexican street food.

The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a comfortable dining experience that made the meal even more enjoyable. Sitting outside in the fresh air while enjoying such tasty dishes added an extra layer to the experience — it felt relaxed, fun, and unhurried.

Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, a quick bite, or just a great place to enjoy tacos and drinks in Greenpoint, Panzón is absolutely worth a visit. The food, atmosphere, and service all come together perfectly for a truly enjoyable meal. Highly recommend!“

“We were in New York for about a week, we ate out two to three times a day and Gabriel's stands out is probably the favorite out of everywhere we went. The food was amazing, the drinks were top-notch, not to mention the bartenders expertise, and the staff including Gabriel himself were incredibly friendly and welcoming and happy to chit chat and share cool stories about new york. Loved it!“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“I celebrated my birthday here yesterday and had a great time. My friends and I went for happy hour (2x1), and the staff was incredibly friendly. They set aside a spot for us and were very kind. The drinks are awesome, and the space and atmosphere are great. I’ve also been here for comedy show nights, which are always a lot of fun. It’s very centrally located—perfect if your friends are spread all over the city.“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“Top class place, friendly staff and great food and savage craic! Well worth a visit if you find your self in need of a pint and a shot!“

“So Devious My Mouth Is Feels So Lucky Too Taste“

“Jimmy's Corner is a must stop every time we're in NYC! The bar tenders are the best part of this place. We can't wait to go back!“

“Solid unpretentious bar but far from a dive. The atmosphere is relaxed and the drinks are solid. Would recommend for large groups who want to just stand around and hang out. Didn't venture to sit in the back but the rest of the place looked spacious and nice“

“Great place to take out all of your aggression. Great prices for food and drinks“

“This place is so homey. As a Thai who hasn't been back home for years, the dishes here really hit the spot. Their crab curry is very aromatic and rich in flavor (with a nice kick too). The softshell crab was so divine and the pork was delicious. We would definitely recommend!“

“DDOBAR NYC is an absolute knockout. Chef Jiho Kim's spot turned our large party of nearly 20 into a seamless celebration

They accommodated us like pros, rolling out an outstanding set menu that had everyone raving

Flavors were incredible, layered and bold. Had some surprise specials that blew us away (that duck pastrami/sushi piece? Phenomenal)

Everything tasted so damn good, fresh and precise

The ice cream finale was outstanding.. creamy, perfectly balanced, light yet so refreshing

Service was warm and on point the whole night. Highly recommend this spot. Excited to go back!“

“Great sandwich app was a little qurkie nice place would read“

“A fun place with interesting people watching but I came alone hoping to sit at the bar and was expecting and comfortable with waiting for an hour since it was as a Saturday (it was 6pm but that wasn’t early enough), but they were not sitting solo diners and instead would wait for seats next to each other to open up to sit couples, at one point leaving and open seat available for about 20 minutes.“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“Stand Up Comedy once a month . Next FREE show, Thursday February 7“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“Look, there are a million bars in New York. But few of them have a soul. You can feel the intention behind everything at Bar Americano from the weight of the glassware to the garnish on the drink to the playlist. They care about the little things that make up the whole experience. It's the kind of place you bring an out of town friend to show them what a real Brooklyn bar feels like. Easily one of the best no question, I kinda became like the michelin guys reviewing these XD.“

“We stumbled across this place yesterday, we dipped in from the cold for a break and had a pleasant surprise, the staff were so welcoming and made sure we got a seat at the bar... later realised I had read about the bar previously, the hot dogs are a lovely touch and drinks amazing prices. x“

“Food and drinks were amazing.“

“Great little place. Small menu. Cute vibe. Great service.“

“Amazing unique cocktails. Highly recommended.“

“Omg!! So much fun!! Come on down !!“

“Great beer selection. Great staff. Good vibe. Good people. I am a native New Yorker and very picky about my bars and defensive of my neighborhood. This is the best bar I’ve been to in years. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner.“

“I went to El Pingüino about two weeks ago and absolutely loved that they offer happy hour seven days a week and it’s becoming a routine for us!
The hours are 4–7 PM, plus a late-night happy hour from 10 PM to midnight.

Their seafood happy hour is pretty simple they only offer one type of oyster but it was super fresh and delicious. Clean, lightly briny, and perfect with just a squeeze of lemon.

And they have really great basque cheesecake!

The overall vibe is relaxed and easygoing, making it a great spot to unwind after work or grab a late-night drink.

If you’re in Greenpoint and love oysters, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“Was visiting from out of town and Milk & Hops was close by so stopped in for an early afternoon sampling of the local brews.

Rick is the man and has a vast knowledge of both beer served here as well as the brewing industry itself.

Would love to come back and try the endless other beers that sounded great but will have to wait for next time. The beers are pricey but it’s manhattan what are you gonna do 🤷. It’s a cool spot if you’re nearby try it out.“

“It was good even we are late we still having a cocktail drinks“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Amazing brunch this morning. Excellent and super friendly staff, food was amazing!🙌🏼👍👏“

“I visited for lunch.

The food was very good … had the “Irish Spice Bag” … creative dish with chicken, hand-cut French fries, peppers and onions, and spices … something different ($20).

The service was very good as well … very nice and kind bartender taking care of the whole place … so need to be reasonably patient.

The atmosphere is nice enough. Nice vibe.

Overall, a reasonably good value.“

“The backyard of the restaurant is great for a summer night out with their open roof. They need to expand the food offerings.“

“Burgers were great! Service was great!“

“Good food and coffee and friendly staff👍👍👍👍👍“

“One of New York’s hidden secrets. Not to be missed.“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“
