Northern Spy Food Company East Village Restaurant
Northern Spy Food Company definitely falls into the category of “restaurants to root for.” Opened about a month ago by two San Francisco transplants with solid foodie pedigrees (Myth and A16, in the City by the Bay), this cozy, cute, general-store-ish East Village restaurant is turning out terrific, greenmarket-driven dishes. The prices at Northern Spy […]
Brinkley’s Restaurant
Brinkley’s New York restaurant–lively, cozy, and right there handy on the border between Soho and Nolita–is going to be a great place to stop in for a drink and a bite to eat on many a winter evening to come. Run by brothers Anthony and Tom Martingnetti, who have nicely transformed their eponymous Bar Martignetti […]
The Tipsy Parson
The Tipsy Parson is definitely a restaurant to root for. For more than five years, Tasha Garcia Gibson and Julie Taras Wallach’s first restaurant, the beloved Little Giant, has been offering an excellent alternative to the general raucousness of the Lower East Side dining scene, serving simple yet sophisticated food in a lovely little room […]
Aldea Restaurant: Our New Favorite Portuguese Restaurant in NYC
The best meal we’ve had so far this year was dinner at Aldea restaurant, Chef George Mendes’s mid-priced, Portuguese restaurant in NYC, gorgeously designed space near Union Square and the Flatiron. It was smack in the middle of summer, the place had just recently opened, and from the house-made Corn and Basil Soda, through the […]
Bill’s Bar and Burger in the Meatpacking District
Bill’s Bar and Burger, the super-casual, spanking-new Meatpacking District restaurant from Steve “B.R. Guest” Hansen (Dos Caminos, Ruby Foo’s, Blue Water Grill, etc., etc.), seems like a sure thing. It’s in the former Hog Pit space, that somewhat battered but handsome old triangular brick building in the heart of the Meatpacking district party zone. The […]
Greenmarket Farmers Markets NYC
Top 5 Favorite NYC Farmers Markets Greenmarket Farmers Markets in NYC have flourished in recent years, much to the delight of all of us who love fresh farm-picked–and fresh grown, and -butchered, and -milked, and -baked–fruits and vegetables and meats and dairy and breads and pastries. Which should, of course, be all of us. […]
Luke’s Lobster, New York
Luke’s Lobster in New York brings something new to the party. In this wonderfully food-addled city, could lobster be the next fried chicken (which is currently the new pizza, which was the next ramen, which was the next burgers)? With Lobstah Feast specials, fish shacks, and chowder bars popping up all over town, we’ve probably […]
Pinche Taqueria New York
Great Mexican Food in New York Authentic Tacos In New York Are Always In Demand Authentic mexican food in New York City may not be the rare find it was a decade or so ago, but still: first-rate tacos, in the soft flour tortillas, with freshly-made ingredients, for around three or four bucks each? […]
Delicatessen’s Macbar: Best Mac ‘N Cheese in New York City
From the owners of the super-trendy (but nonetheless pretty good) Delicatessen in Soho, comes the super-trendy (and, actually, very good) Macbar, the newest entry into a surprisingly crowded field of players vying for the title of NYC’s best macaroni and cheese. (See also: the suddenly venerable ‘Smac in the East Village, and the under-looked Supermac […]
Motorino Pizza East Village
Motorino East Village. The concept alone was enough to start New York City’s foodies salivating in anticipation. But what does it say about this town that one of the most eagerly awaited restaurant openings of the season is… a pizza place? Two things: New York is the best place to live on the planet. Motorino […]
