“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.”

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu”

“Amazing! Had a great time there last week where my coworker is a regular. Food was excellent A++, drinks A++, staff A++.”
“Had such a satisfying meal at MayRee! Every dish was delicious, but the Thai signature Kra Pao (spicy minced pork with fried egg and rice) was especially comforting and flavorful. The duck curry was rich, aromatic, and packed with flavor, while the fried whole branzino was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with sweet and sour mango and nut salad.
Everything was well-executed and hit the spot. If you’re craving authentic Thai flavors and a truly satisfying meal, MayRee is definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to come back! 🇹🇭✨”
“Plue is such a great place to eat with many gluten free options. I ordered the popcorn chicken and chicken tom ka soup for appetizers. The popcorn chicken is to die for with the dipping sauce and the soup is infused with fresh Thai flavors. For my main dish, I ordered pad see ew with shrimp. It was a generous portion and perfect for my sensitive stomach. I would highly recommend Plue!!!”
“So came randomly on a Thursday night was greeted Cat with the most amazing happy hour lychee martini and loved it so much I had to try espresso martini and wow I was not disappointed. With a pretty extensive happy hour bite menu I chose the Mac and cheese croquettes with truffle pastas sauce run don’t walk there phenomenal. We also tried the fried picked and if your a pickle girls they are a hit. I highly recommend this neighborhood Gem that’s packs incredible deals on the daily. I’m def coming back”
“Loopy's is the best. Just finished some of their delicious Bibim Bop. The Apps are good too - Summer Rolls were crunchy and the shrimp fresh and fried dumplings were delish also. Definitely recommend, eaten here dozens of times and always consistently great.”
“This is the place to be! Food is amazing, (we had nachos and tacos) drinks? amazing (ask for a flight of Mezcal💗 Waiter? ask for Alfredo, knowledgeable, friendly and overall awesome! Loved both experiences there. If you are in NYC,.please go. Dog friendly”
“Surprised to find such a nice, normal spot in the middle of 5th Av, but I'm not complaining! Happy hour on drinks pulled us in, and the John Doe ale is one of the best I've had from a keg (they actually formulated it to be cold and refreshing, not just putting a regular cask ale on a colder tap) - and I think this is the only place you can get it! Wish I'd known about the oyster deal, but we saw others get them and they looked good! Outdoor seating was still good for a Manhattan street”
“Great staff and awesome food and drink.”
“Had an unforgettable time at Lucky Cheng's from beginning to end! If you visit Times Square, it's a must!”
“A beautiful evening of ambiance with first cabin food - highly recommend for a very special evening or just for getting out of the house and a great dinner. Jackie DiBella.”
“Absolutely fantastic neighborhood spot. This place embodies the New York hole in the walk neighborhood spot. Delicious food, large but not overwhelming menu that has something for everyone and overall a cozy relaxed vibe. Would recommend for a casual weeknight dinner or a low key weekend”
“A sutton place staple. Fresh bagels at better Prices and the service is 12/10. Juan is a really nice and attentive guy. In a city full of chains - Support the little guy!”
“The crêpes and lattes are really really super delicious one of the best crêpes I’ve ever had”
“We celebrated our annual Christmas Dinner here at Sveta and was blown away with the service we got from everyone there but the owner AL was extremely attentive and generous to us ….we had reservations but had to wait a bit but we were graciously served Champagne while we wait ….I had a skirt steak which was delicious and my cousins had the lamb and shrimp platters and were all very delicious …I will definitely return …the festive drinks was a statement piece which added to the ambience of this very festive place.. I will recommend this place 100% ….my recommendation is you make a reservation because it’s a bit on the small side but very crowded … make your reservations today you will not be disappointed 🎄❤️”
“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.”
“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏”

“I had an incredible dining experience at Salinas! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The cocktails were expertly crafted and paired perfectly with the meal. The warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive service made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Salinas to anyone looking for exceptional Spanish cuisine in New York City, and I can’t wait to return!”

“- the amruud drink was strong and actually came with a slice amruud, like a guava marg?

- lamb Parcha was so yum and tender
- the ananas paneer was so soft, you can eat the pineapples separately if u wish lol
- the chicken mappas was v mid compared to the rest of the food!”
“We had such a lovely experience at Ariari! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Stephen / Steven was fantastic—attentive, welcoming, and genuinely lovely throughout the evening.
The food was excellent. The crab is an absolute must, and the duck was another standout. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. The cod was beautifully prepared, although I felt it lacked a bit of flavor and didn’t particularly stand out from cod I’ve enjoyed at other fine restaurants.
One detail I especially appreciated was how thoughtful the restaurant was toward children. Having proper plates and cutlery ready for little ones is such a simple yet meaningful touch, and something you don’t often see at NYC restaurants.
Overall, a fantastic dining experience with wonderful service, delicious food, and thoughtful attention to detail. I’d give Ariari a solid 4.7/5. We will absolutely be back!
Thank you, Stephen / Steven and the entire Ariari team, for such a lovely evening!”
“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.”

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.”
“Not easy to find. You have to enter a building lobby (no signs) and find it inside. The food was excellent, as was the service. We had a large group and it was served family style. Lost one star for noise. The place is very busy and sound reverberates off all the hard surfaces.”
“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎”
“Nudibranch was outstanding—easily one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. We started with the mushrooms, chicken sandwich, and cavatelli, then had the Denver steak and monkfish as our mains, with scallion pancakes on the side for three people. Every dish was creative, flavorful, and exceptionally well executed.
The chefs are Momofuku alumni, and you can feel that influence in the bold flavors and inventive combinations. Man, I miss Momofuku—but Nudibranch definitely scratched that itch while still feeling entirely like its own thing.
Highly recommend. I’ll absolutely be back.”

“I love there chop cheese and really every sanwich but I hate ordering at night because the young guy with curly hair always has the phone on so that no calls go through. It's pretty annoying especially when you see there's no orders at that time. Overall love the business.”
“I enjoy tasting empanadas from all types of places. Empanada Mama is by far the best of any place I’ve ever tasted!! The portions were stunning, the food was full of flavor, the menu is large, and the dessert empanadas are just as amazing as the savory ones! Definitely some comfort food right here ❤️ Amazing delivery as well”
“We took the kids here last Saturday afternoon and it was such a gem. The whole area has this great vibe on a nice day - we saw families browsing the shops, people eating at the outdoor tables, and there's just a nice energy about the place. Our kids loved walking around checking out all the different stores, and there were plenty of good spots to grab lunch or coffee. Definitely going back soon.”
“All 5's, because oh my god. It'll be best for the longevity of all of our lives to keep this place in business, because I have NEVER had such a great sandwich. The atmosphere is amazing, the food is amazing, coffee is bomb. The guys behind the counter are so kind and really quick. Got a breakfast sando, muffin, and parge coffee under $20 bucks in new york, and I don't think thats actually possible anywhere else, and it's better than everywhere else, so why wouldnt I. 100000000/10. Amazed. Go here!”
“El Gallego Seafood is a great place to go for delicious, comforting Dominican food. One of my favorite things on the menu is their soup—the sancocho is absolutely delicious, and the tripe soup is also really good. They also have a variety of ceviches that are fresh and flavorful.
If you’re looking for traditional Dominican dishes, they have plenty to choose from, including rice and beans, oxtail, saucy meats, fish, and more.
What I really love about this place is that it’s open 24 hours! You can come in at any time of day or night and still get fresh, quality food. I’ve even been there around 2 AM on a Tuesday, and everything looked incredibly fresh.
Definitely a great spot for Dominican food, especially when you’re looking for something satisfying late at night!”
“Kips Bay Deli is my go-to spot! The food is always fresh, delicious, and prepared quickly. Their sandwiches are generously packed, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. Great selection of snacks, drinks, and everyday essentials. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the neighborhood!”
“Amazing, unique and delicious food in a very cozy setting. Be prepared to meet your neighbors as you adventure through one delicious plate after another.”
“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍”

“This was a fantastic experience! From the moment we stepped inside, the staff was courteous, engaging, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a party of 3, and ordered 6 dishes. Each dish came out as it was made and each dish was absolutely delicious. A person in our party had a gluten allergy which was no problem and accommodated with ease. We come to NY every year and this will absolutely be a place we revisit again and again! Vegans, vegetarians and omnivores alike will appreciate the dishes and be amazed with the taste! Highly recommended!”
“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.”
“A Vegetarian Gem in Koreatown!
Seoul Food Shop in Koreatown, New York, is a wonderful find—especially for a pure vegetarian like me. It's not often that I find a place with good vegetarian options, but this spot truly delivered.
I ordered the vegetable dumplings with garlic tofu, and they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. For just $15, the taste was amazing—honestly some of the best food I've had in this area.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. It's a great spot to grab a bite while exploring Koreatown, and the location makes it easy to fit into a day of sightseeing in the city.
As a vegetarian, finding a place that offers such tasty options at a reasonable price is a real treat. I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone—vegetarian or not.
Great food, great value, and a great experience.”
“Really nice vibe and different dishes! Also got the miso blazed black cod with ravioli. We got two for three + other dishes.
Also the spicy rib!!! So good.
Tried to come back last week but I guess it was closed the night I was in town..”

“This was my second time at Blue Hill, although my last visit was several years ago before they moved to the Family Meal concept. And I really like it. Each course comes with an assortment of dishes that you can mix and match at your own pace, which makes the whole meal feel relaxed and fun.
I sat at the bar, and both the atmosphere and service were excellent as always. Every course was fantastic, and this is such a great time of year to visit when there are so many amazing vegetables in season. One course highlighted several different peppers, including a specially developed habanero that had all of the sweetness and none of the heat. Really cool! The dessert was really interesting as well as it incorporated Sungold tomatoes. I don’t think I’ve ever had tomatoes in a dessert before, but it was inspired and worked beautifully. A fantastic dinner. I’ll definitely be returning.”
“My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!”
“We walked in early on a beautiful fall night and were so lucky to have gotten a table. From the moment we sat down we were treated so well by the very professional and attentive staff. The food was outstanding ! Very delicious and made with such care. We had 2 different wines that went perfectly with our food. The cacio peppe was so light and full of flavor, the suppli and meatballs were heavenly. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a casually elegant vibe with very good food. Bravo Forsythia! We will be back for sure! A hidden gem in Nolita”
“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 experience tonight enjoying the bar menu. The team created a pitch perfect vibe, it felt like I was at a dinner party with friends (who just happen to be wizards at food and wine tasting menus). The service was exceptional: friendly and familiar yet still very high standard when it came to the details just as any other restaurant of this level. The food had some really standout dishes and the drinks pairings were so boldly experimental and amazing. I won't soon forget my experience at Atomix.”
“We had an excellent vegan tasting menu at HAGS. Our favorites were the beginning (the tomato water and bruschetta on rice bread) and ending dishes (the amazing vegan ice cream). I also loved the tempeh, and that says a lot, because I only like tempeh when I'm in Asia. The current location is a small intimate setting, but they mentioned they are closing temporarily in two weeks, as they are moving to a larger location. The staff are super friendly here as well. I'd dine here again.”
“This place is hands down one of the best meals I’ve had living in NYC, and I’ve been here for the better part of 15 years. Everyone working, the chefs, wait staff, next level. Food was authentic and insanely tasty. It’s not a cheap meal but it’s definitely worth it. Will be coming back once my wallet recovers (:”
“Such a wonderful experience! The combination of French and Filipino flavors is so unique and beautifully executed. Every dish was flavorful, creative, and thoughtfully prepared, and the wine selection paired perfectly with the food.
A special compliment to the chef—the creativity, attention to detail, and balance of flavors in every dish really stood out. You can truly taste the passion and skill behind the food. The way the chef brings French techniques together with Filipino flavors is something really special.
The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was warm and attentive. It’s a perfect spot for a date night, special occasion, or simply enjoying great food and wine.
Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing meal. The restaurant is just staffed by the host and the chef, but the service is impressively attentive. The host noticed I was left-handed and switched my place setting to accommodate that. The meal started with a puree of Japanese sweet potato with toppings like small rice crackers and ikura. Very refreshing and delicious! We then got 4 small dishes- grilled fish with peas and fish cake, fluke, soba with fresh shiitake, and water eggplant.
Then we had 8 courses of tempura- anago, peppers, shrimp, scallop, eggplant, crab, sweet potato, and seaweed with uni on it. This was followed by rice with wagyu beef and a dessert of strawberry and adzuki. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. The service was what really made the evening special- each dish was carefully explained, including what seasoning we should use to accompany the dish and everything was conveyed with warmth and a touch of humor. This place is a gem. Thank you for such an amazing meal!”
“My first time dining at Crane Club was fabulous. It was a treat for my partner's mother and the entire experience made her feel like a celebrity. Richard was outstanding, and we loved being escorted to Bar CC for after dinner drinks! Wonderful experience, I look forward to coming back.”
“Service was excellent. Your staff is very knowledgeable and professional. Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken pate, bread and butter and the trout tartare were all very good. We did order three of the same mains, which was the steak. It was cooked exactly as expected, but the only minor issue was the delay in delivery. Not the fault of the staff, but I assume the kitchen was overwhelmed with orders and the restaurant was very busy around 8:30-9 pm on a Friday. I get it, but the wait between the app and the main was lengthy, over 30 mins.
Drinks were great and the wine I tasted was very good as well. Back tj the staff, our waitress was a 10. Friendly and kind, and even made some great suggestions regarding one of the apps I was going to order and offered several women for me to taste. The chocolate cake was also very good. Overall, other than the delay, all was wonderful. Even our table was better than expected. I originally made a reservation on Resy for 2, at 8:15. Then I called back and asked to move it to three people. You guys made the accommodation, but told me that it would in the front near the host. I said no problem. Once we arrived, we had to wait a few mins for our table, but you guys seated us in the back…at a great table.
I did see that you gave the front table to Will from Taste, so I totally understood why I waited a few mins…but overall, our table was better than expected!!!
Thank you 🙏”
“This was the most delicious Georgian food I’ve had since I was in Georgia. Our server, Marite, was a delight. She made wonderful wine recommendations. We will definitely eat here again.”

Cheap Eats
“I was absolutely starving and this place saved me! The prices are very affordable and the portions match those prices. I got a medium fish ball rice roll bowl (oyster sauce flavor). I got all the sauces on it, per recommendation of the cashier.
Spicy, sweet, and savory all at once. I’m usually not a fan of fish balls but these swayed me.
As a native New Yorker I am weary of viral restaurants but this one is WORTH THE HYPE. I forgot to take a before picture but I definitely have the after! Delicious.”
“Really No. 1 tacos for me!
I had passed by Los Tacos No. 1 several times, but the line was always so long that I never stopped. This time, maybe because the weather wasn’t great, there was hardly any line, so I decided to give it a try.
And wow—it was so, so good! The tacos were absolutely delicious. Now I understand why there is always a line here.
Definitely No. 1 tacos for me!”
“Spicy Village was a wonderful place to have a Christmas meal! Actually, I'd like to rename it "Spicy Cozy Village" if a spicy environment can also be cozy! To start with, they were very gracious by accepting a reservation for 8 people at 6:00. Then they came outside and took our order even before we sat down and so the food was nearly ready by the time we had taken our coats off! The festivities kicked off with a plate of crispy peanuts, which ended up being the chosen appetizer, main course, and dessert for the little guy in our party. We then progressed to delicious dumplings, sesame chicken, spicy lamb huimei, and other delectable specialties! What was so amazing about the experience is that despite packing lots of people into a relatively small square foot area, it did not feel claustrophobic at all; rather it was comfortable and cozy, like sitting at a big table for a family meal at your house (even if it was take-out!!). Overall, Spicy Village was a terrific place for Christmas dinner - and I'm strongly considering coming back here for the 8 days of Hanukkah too!”
“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)”

“Last night We came to eat at Mission Ceviche for the first time and we left very happy for the incredible quality of food and service. 100% recommended with a tremendous desire to return soon. Good service and everyone very friendly I had a very wonderful birthday.”
“Dining at Tha Phraya was a pleasant experience. The ambience of the restaurant and the service was great. The food was delicious with the right amount of spice levels for someone who liked spicy food. The restaurant filled up pretty quickly on a Saturday evening, so reservations are always a good idea. I liked that we didn't feel rushed to finish our meal.”
“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!”
“Pleasant less formal atmosphere, but very efficient service. Delicious pastes. I highly recommend :)”

Highly recommend. I’ll absolutely be back.”
“The food I ordered was so good and well made, great size portion too. Helena was our server and constantly made sure our bottomless drinks were filled to our satisfaction, proactively took away plates and felt no worry in asking us if certain plate could be taken instead of assuming that some left meant we still wanted it, etc. I loved the social aspect of the service, it made it feel like a place I can go and be remembered / taken care of. I’m so drunk writing this right now, the drinks are too good 𓆏”
“This is a bit of an upscale tapas bar, knowledge staff, not obtrusive. It did remind me of some upscale places in Spain. Go eat tapas the Manhattans with chocolate rim omg! Food was good too!”
“One of the best steaks I’ve ever had! I got the New York strip, medium, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to Ylem for taking such great care of us and making the whole experience even better!”
“Great service David was helpful. The biscuit egg sandwich was very good and the hash browns nice and thin as I enjoyed. They gave me pot of coffee without asking but otherwise I'll try something else next time”
“Second to none! The ingredients are fresh and chef skills are world class.”
“The flavors were sublime, I can see why so many chefs recommend it!”
“This was my second time at Blue Hill, although my last visit was several years ago before they moved to the Family Meal concept. And I really like it. Each course comes with an assortment of dishes that you can mix and match at your own pace, which makes the whole meal feel relaxed and fun.
I sat at the bar, and both the atmosphere and service were excellent as always. Every course was fantastic, and this is such a great time of year to visit when there are so many amazing vegetables in season. One course highlighted several different peppers, including a specially developed habanero that had all of the sweetness and none of the heat. Really cool! The dessert was really interesting as well as it incorporated Sungold tomatoes. I don’t think I’ve ever had tomatoes in a dessert before, but it was inspired and worked beautifully. A fantastic dinner. I’ll definitely be returning.”
“Best pancakes on the eastern seaboard! Absolutely delicious maple butter! It’s the best breakfast anywhere in the world!!! 🥞🧇🥓🍁🧈🦋👐”
“We had such a lovely experience at Ariari! From start to finish, everything was wonderful. Stephen / Steven was fantastic—attentive, welcoming, and genuinely lovely throughout the evening.
The food was excellent. The crab is an absolute must, and the duck was another standout. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. The cod was beautifully prepared, although I felt it lacked a bit of flavor and didn’t particularly stand out from cod I’ve enjoyed at other fine restaurants.
One detail I especially appreciated was how thoughtful the restaurant was toward children. Having proper plates and cutlery ready for little ones is such a simple yet meaningful touch, and something you don’t often see at NYC restaurants.
Overall, a fantastic dining experience with wonderful service, delicious food, and thoughtful attention to detail. I’d give Ariari a solid 4.7/5. We will absolutely be back!
Thank you, Stephen / Steven and the entire Ariari team, for such a lovely evening!”
“Absolutely love this place. Been many times. Consistent quality food and service. This is a one of a kind gem in Manhattan”
“A New York classic experience! From their cooked to perfection Prime Sirloin Salad to the Dark Chocolate Mousse. Keens delivers great flavors in a cozy and historical setting. A must try!”
“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!”
“Lindens really exceeded my expectations! I loved them because they were easy to reserve for a large party and didn’t give me headache at all, where as a lot of NYC restaurants can get annoying if you’re a party of 8+. Their food was very good, fig parfait- amazing! Def order that! Espresso was europe level game, other brunch items were really flavorful and delicious!”
“Went for our anniversary!! Had an amazing meal!! Wonderful service and great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!!”

“A Vegetarian Gem in Koreatown!
Seoul Food Shop in Koreatown, New York, is a wonderful find—especially for a pure vegetarian like me. It's not often that I find a place with good vegetarian options, but this spot truly delivered.
I ordered the vegetable dumplings with garlic tofu, and they were absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. For just $15, the taste was amazing—honestly some of the best food I've had in this area.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. It's a great spot to grab a bite while exploring Koreatown, and the location makes it easy to fit into a day of sightseeing in the city.
As a vegetarian, finding a place that offers such tasty options at a reasonable price is a real treat. I'd definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone—vegetarian or not.
Great food, great value, and a great experience.”
“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!”
“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎”
“I’ve been here many times and always have a great time. It has such a brilliant vibe and atmosphere, and the location is fantastic. Even walking up through the store is part of the experience, with all the amazing furniture to look at, and there are plenty of great places nearby too.
A couple of tips to keep in mind: come with a relaxed attitude because this is a very busy location, and your whole group needs to be there before they’ll seat you. That said, when we had to wait around 15 minutes, they were lovely and brought us complimentary drinks.
The food and presentation are consistently amazing, and the service is well timed without anyone hovering over you. I also love the atmosphere of people actually talking and enjoying themselves. It always feels lively without feeling forced.
One final tip: don’t bring your car unless you really have to. Street parking around the area is generally limited to two hours, so it’s not worth the risk of getting a ticket. You’re much better off using one of the nearby parking garages.”
“I don’t usually leave reviews at restaurants, but I completely loved this place. The lasagna was the best one I have tried in NYC, the service and hospitality were excellent. They make you feel like you’re at home. They also have happy hour from 4-7pm for $5 wines and other drinks I believe, so that’s awesome! Completely loved the place and will for sure come back :)”
“Enjoyed a Fabulous dinner and Found the food Delicious and Authentic 💯 The staff was warm and attentive, also the atmosphere and Cleanliness were top notch. Well done, We'll be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Too bad there aren’t more stars to click on. As a Sicilian/Italian every time I go to an Italian restaurant I have to always settle for the close enough. Not this time at Piccola Cucina Estiatorio, 71 Thompson Street NYC. After seeing their extremely authentic Sicilian menu online I knew that it had to be the real thing. After easily reserving a table online we showed up with yes our hopes being very high. For the first time the food was everything I had hoped for. 1. Arancini: nicely crunchy and flavored. Not oily or old at all. 2. Grilled veggies: although simply presented they were really tasty and fresh. 3. Involtini: out of this world. Exactly made like in my town in Sicily. A Moist, tender, flavored with some really tasty mozzarella cheese, served on a nice bed of caponata. 4. Maccheroni alla Norma: finally my very favorite dish. I almost cried. Besides a fantastic pasta, rigorously cooked al dente, there was a more than generous amount of diced eggplant, obviously, with basil leaves, olive oil and everything the Mediterranean has so generously given to Sicily for thousands of years. It’s worth mentioning the more than welcome grated “ricotta salata” as a testimony to the high attention to detail of Chef Gioele. That was a dinner I will not easily forget. The last thing I want to say is that, according to the highly professional and attentive staff, almost every single ingredient in this restaurant is flown directly from Sicily including the very tasty cannoli filled with ricotta cheese. (The cheese flies frozen during shipping). Sorry for the long review. I only wanted to show my super happiness with this restaurant. ANGELO.”
“Finally able to visit and so happy I did. My drink, Dutch Revival, is my new favorite cocktail. The winter flatbread was delicious. Loved the vibe and hospitality.”
“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!”
“We stumbled across the Gem that is The Rum House on our visit to NY 6 years ago… probably the best Old fashioned we have tasted . Great atmosphere , decor and music and on a cold cold night it was fab ❤️”
“My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!”
“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.”
“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.”
“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.”
“Purely epic. All about it!”
“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!”
“Great little italian restaurant. The oysters were delicious. Everything we had was great along with the service. Don't skip the pineapple dessert 😋”
“Casual, friendly atmosphere,eclectic menu, looking forward to my next visit”
“Classic, charming west village restaurant - the staples (cacio e pepe, bolognese) did not disappoint.
The panna cotta with an olive oil drizzle was fantastic.
And Dylan, the new manager was also a highlight of our meal!”
“the seoul'sbury steak is one of the most delicious meat dishes I've ever had (though I thought the green tomato hot pocket was only ok.) service was incredible as well”
“This was an awesome restaurant. The food was incredible, great views of the city, & delicious dessert selections. Definitely would recommend and will visit again 😊”

“I had the most wonderful birthday celebration this past Saturday, thanks to my boyfriend’s thoughtful reservation at Fresco restaurant. The entire experience was absolutely outstanding. The culinary offerings were beyond delicious, and the service was truly impeccable- a perfect’10’ in every aspect. I also had the distinct pleasure of meeting Rosanna Scatto and her husband, both of whom were incredibly wonderful and welcoming. As someone who is generally quite discerning when dining out, my enthusiastic endorsement speaks volumes. I will absolutely be returning to Fresco and have already recommended this exceptional restaurant to several friends.”
“Excellent value — the 15-course omakase at $87 punches well above its price, and the fish quality was genuinely good from start to finish. The room is the weak point: constant takeout pickup traffic through the dining area makes it feel rushed, and the ambience never quite settles. No real wine options either. Come for the food and the deal, not the atmosphere.”
“Having a meal ordered from Shah's in Inwood is like having Thanksgiving dinner with every order because the food is outstanding, consistent, fresh, and the service is excellent!! My son and I have been ordering from Shah's 2 - 3 times a week for the past 8 months because the restaurant never fails. My son orders the meat combo and I order either the falafel or fish platter. Both of us order everything: white, hot, and barbecue sauce; chick peas and black beans. In addition to the cukes and tomatoes, customers can also add olives and pickled red cabbage on their meal!! Tiebah and Thaliah are always welcoming, and always remember our names and our orders. We are never disappointed!!!”

“the staff was extremely wonderful. the food was perfect. our waitress on the other hand was hard to find and we had to request things several times. She was not overwhelmed with other customers as we dined at 8 which was not a busy time. But all in all I still loved everything'.”
“I didn’t expect a full blown broadway show experience in a restaurant! If you want show tunes and pop music served with a plate of great food then this is the place for you! Our server Brandi M. belted out a wicked version of The wizard and I! I ordered the BLT with avocado and waffle fries and my friend ordered the chicken and waffles. Both were delicious.”
“Io e mia figlia siamo state una settimana a New York e questa è stata la nostra caffetteria per tutta la settimana. Cappuccino ottimo, per non parlare dei dolci, e le focacce baresi 😍😍😍... Lasagna tradizionale buonissima 😉presa 3 volte. Il top qui a New York. Lo consiglio.”
“We are on thr way to Marquee Theater and we need some food before we sit down for the show. This place is awesome from top to bottom.. the service was amazing and was seated immediately. The decor is out of this world for NY Hard Rock. Super fun to walk around.. When we came in there was a young DJ CHIC rocking the turntables plus they have a main stage for live shows.
The food was amzing and ate every crumb.
Definitely making this a pistol every time we are in NY

“Truly special. I came here on a Friday night, granted it was Labor Day weekend, but I was able to get a seat at the counter for one with no wait time! One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. And I am perfectly ok to say it was even better than Le Bernadin For Seafood in the area it is absolutely incredible. Service was impeccable. Issa was my server and she made me feel so special dining solo. I can see myself being a regular.”
“We were seeing a Broadway show nearby this place. Wife and I wanted Indian food and Googled. This restaurant got great reviews and decided on this joint. Our hotel was about 1.5 miles and decided to walk it to work an appetite, it was well worth it. We ordered Chicken Biryani and Goat Vindaloo, my go to dish for rating Indian restaurants. We also ordered a Fried Sweet Potato Appetizer, Buttered Naan and Mango Lassis. Food tasted delicious and authentic. Good portions, Staff was attentive and accommodating, we packed and left our leftovers and picked it up after the show.”
“Cove is true to its name.
A little way from Washington Square Park, you walk down a quiet side street and step into a quiet, refined shelter. The kitchen staff behind the reception dais move with practiced ease, which is always a fun show.
You'll be welcomed to large wooden tables that may not be redwood, but recall northern California.
The waiters are incredibly attentive and preempted what we wanted throughout the night.
The food itself was vibrant. Elevated California cuisine that uses seasonal herbs and vegetables from local gardens.
For our meal, we split the following:
Vadouvan Roll: I'm glad I ordered this over the sourdough, because it was revelatory. The rolls are soft, and moist on the inside and paired perfectly with the salad. It set expectations high for the night.
Tomato and plum salad: A highlight. Heirloom tomatoes dressed impeccably and contrasted by the plums. The leftover tomato and plum juice made for a fantastic scarpetta.
Tuna: Fantastic. Absolutely get some and the sauce they came served in was delicious.
Island creek oysters: Inventive, and unlike other oysters I've had.
Black cod: My favorite dish. It was moist, fluffy, and fatty. Paired incredibly well with the butternut sauce. The waiters brought us bread to mop up the sauce and leftover fish.
Corn Rice: Pairs perfectly with the black cod. There's a sour ingredient I couldn't figure out that was like a little pop of color in my mouth.
Wagyu NY Strip: A very well executed NY strip, but honestly, I would skip it in favor of the cod and squab.
Squab: A unique experience, and a delicious one. Did I feel a bit feral gnawing on a tiny baby dove leg? Yes. Would I do it again? Yes.
Waffle: Looked fantastic, tasted even better.
Liquorice ice cream: I adore liquorice, so this was a treat.
Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for upscale dining.
Side note: as a lifelong sparkling water fan, I did appreciate the fact that the water wasn't wimpy.”
“Truly LOVE this bar. The cocktails are amazing. When they say “buttery” they mean buttery … in the best way.
The service is incredible. Shoutout Lucas (or maybe ur name was Jordan…?)
Was the perfect spot for a birthday drink!!!
Space Cadet was so so good.
Their plum wine is also amazing.
Recommend a reservation on the weekend but walk ins are possible.
Location is central to lots of other great spots to eat & drink.
Small groups or dates. GREAT date spot.”
“I came here as part of a group of four and we ordered one of everything off the menu to share. It feels like upscale Chinese tapas, perfect for sharing with friends, maybe difficult to come as a solo diner for a meal. Everything was incredible, a wonderful spin on Chinese cuisine while still being faithful to classic ingredients. My only mild complaint is that the music is on the loud side, and the chopsticks are form over function. It’s hard to pick anything up with them.”
“Veerays isn't just a restaurant. It's a story.
Treat yourself to this atmospheric speakeasy space that also has magnificent food.
Sit in the red velvet booths, enjoying fresh Naan and spectacular paneer.
The drinks are lovely and so special.
The flavors and atmosphere will add to your own story.
Want something extra divine?
Go during lunch. At one point, we had private dining.
Oh what a story!”
“What a lovely night! My boyfriend & I came last night for a date, & we were treated amazingly by the staff! The service was exceptional & the food & drinks were delicious! I loved the focaccia & tomato salad especially! A beautiful space with the perfect vibe for a date night!”
“Just wow! Having been to Taqueria Ramirez, I already knew the tacos at Carnitas Ramirez weren’t going to let me down. And they certainly didn’t! Every taco I had was outstanding. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the corn tortillas were top notch. There’s also a nice assortment of salsas and toppings at a DIY counter so you can dress them up however you like. Everyone was super friendly too. Absolutely worth the trip, and I can’t wait to return.”
“I like the 22nd street location better. The steak wasn’t as good nor do they give you the same amount. Bartender at the bar served us open bottle beer which was warm on top of it. But the dining room service was exceptional. I like the atmosphere and ambience of this place more but I care about food so I won’t be coming back here unfortunately but will dine at the flatiron location for sure.”
“I had an exceptional experience at Arvine tonight! The service was excellent - gave perfect recommendations based on our wine and food preferences. We never felt rushed and I had such a great time catching up with friends over wine. The wine menu was very extensive and the sommelier was very experienced. Now for the food…. We got the the tartar, pasta, burger, bass, fennel salad. Everything was such a hit!each dish was so flavorful. This is such a hidden gem and I will definitely be back again.”
“Dining at Joo Ok in New York felt incredibly special to me as a Korean. I had visited Joo Ok in Korea several times with my parents, so I came with fond memories and high expectations. Somehow, the New York experience felt even more refined and memorable. The cuisine has evolved beautifully while preserving the traditional techniques, flavors, and soul of Korean cooking.
Every course was thoughtful, sophisticated, and deeply rooted in Korean culinary tradition. Even the desserts carried a sense of jeong, the warmth, generosity, and affection that are so uniquely Korean. I especially loved the beautiful tableware by Korean artist Myung Wook Huh. The vessels were works of art in themselves, and seeing the food presented alongside pieces by Korean artists made each course feel almost like an artwork of its own. There was a beautiful harmony between the food, the craftsmanship, and the space.
The interior was warm and intimate and made me feel as though I were back in Korea, while the New York city view outside created an almost dreamlike contrast. The service was gracious, polished, and genuinely warm.”
