L'Artusi

West Village

A modern take on traditional Italian cuisine, combining comfort and creativity. A great wine program features mostly Italian selections, presented by region with a map of DOCs and DOCGs accompanied by traditional local dishes.

The Smile

NoHo

A cafe with a vintage espresso machine and Mediterranean dishes is one thing, but such a cafe with a tattoo parlor and concept store attached? That's something else.

Tea Lounge

Park Slope

The Park Slope progeny of the now shuttered Cobble Hill Tea Lounge is significantly more sedate than its relative, with a more understated amount of activity during the nights and weekends, making it the perfect place to bring your friends.

Palo Santo

Park Slope

Well-deserving of the "eclectic" label, Palo Santo strives to mix up all facets of Latin American and Caribbean cuisine, with wonderful results.

Inakaya

Theater District

Cooks prepare foods on a charcoal grill in front of patrons, in a sort of full-service version of Gyu-Kaku. The popular Tokyo restaurant's first location in New York features the aforementioned robata style, as well as fresh ingredients and perfect meat selections. Located in the easily-scaled New York Times building, you won't have to worry about an arduous climb: the restaurant is, understandably, on the ground floor.

Zaytoons - Prospect Heights

Prospect Heights

This expanding Brooklyn chain features some brilliant Middle Eastern food, including "pitzas," an ingenious combination of pizza and pita bread!

Bar Boulud

Upper West Side

Experience the superior cuisine in a refined and chic yet rather casual setting on the Upper West Side. While service can be spotty or charming depending on the time of day or your karma, there is no doubt the cured meats, pâtés and other superior meat dishes here have a particular elegance that can be found in few other restaurants of this sort.

Casa La Femme

West Village

This persistent little eatery closed its Midtown doors to reopen in the West Village with a wonderful updated menu and terrific atmosphere.

The Good Fork

Red Hook

Red Hook can feel like a little village of outcasts and artists. Artisans who forgo the bushy beards and twill of their more self-conscious brethren in Williamsburg. Well, paradise for these bohos is The Good Fork. Beloved down to earth Asian influenced eatery from chef Sohui Kim and her husband Ben Schneider. Pork and chive dumplings, Korean style steak and eggs, along with the rigorous adherence to sustainable and local ingredients make for a lively, fresh menu.Being Red Hook, the décor has a vaguely nautical theme and there is a small garden. Its warm, welcoming, down-to-earth feel make this favorite spot for locals and destination spot for those in the know. If in the mood for something a bit more, well, embarrassing (for you) check out their Gowanus Korean BBQ/Karaoke lounge Insa Korean!

Grimaldi's Pizzeria

Dumbo

Coal-oven pizza truly meets its maker at this seriously popular pizzeria. Legendary lines await those who want a taste of the legendary slices.

Brooklyn Star

Williamsburg

Former Momofuku partner and chef Joaquin Baca cashed in his chips with the successful David Chang to create his own space in Williamsburg, the rustic and attractive Brooklyn Star, where southern flavors and soul food get a handmade home. After the minor setback of the original location burning right down to the ground, Baca and Co. are back up and running in a new location.

Ovelia

Astoria

Ovelia offers a taste of modern Greek lifestyle and philosophy by way of its food, cocktails, and environment. Scientist-turned-chef Peter Giannakas stays true to the core roots of Greek cuisine while twisting new flavors into old classics.

Il Bambino – Queens

Astoria

Paninis and other sandwich crafts mingle with pastries and baked goods.

Maple Restaurant & Lounge

Theater District

Hidden gem located int the Night Hotel Times Square. Typical American fare at surprisingly decent price. Great place to escape hustle and bustle of Times Square and have cocktail or one of their rotating craft beer selections.

Nougatine

Upper West Side

Nougatine is the more casual sister of Jean-Georges. Adjacent to the formal Jean-Georges dining room, Nougatine serves the signature and seasonal dishes of Chef Jean-Georges for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 365 days a year. The menu is more casual than that offered at Jean-Georges but still market driven, utilizing only the freshest and finest ingredients. In addition to providing gorgeous views of Central Park, the dining room by Thomas Juul-Hansen features a bustling, immaculate open kitchen. Tones of brown and cream mingle to create an elegant space that is soothing by day and exciting by night. Nougatine offers a prix-fixe lunch menu Monday through Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. The restaurant attracts a mix of celebrities, socialites, and movers and shakers in the business world and has a lively bar scene at night. Hidden behind lush greenery you will find the Terrace at Jean-Georges - open when weather permits. The Terrace offers table dining under umbrellas, with a terrific view of Central Park. It's a perfect hidden spot to enjoy the menu served at Nougatine while taking in a beautiful day or evening.

Ward 3

Tribeca

Beloved whisky & cocktail bar Ward III reopened in December of 2017 after nearly a year long hiatus due to issues with building maintanence. Ward 3 bears the brand of former Odeon, Layla, and Macao Trading Co. bartenders with a flair for the cocktail and a taste for transcontinental comfort food.

Joseph Leonard

West Village

Solo endeavor from Little Owl and Market Table's Gabriel Stulman, featuring a no-reservations "bar with serious food." Now reopened following the rather routing fire that knocked them out of business for two months.

The Rabbithole

Williamsburg

Bakery, bar, and restaurant in Williamsburg with a wonderfully rustic and homey atmosphere and charming backyard.

Mesa Coyoacan

Williamsburg

Authentic Mexican cuisine for discerning Williamsburg palettes. Chef Ivan Garcia’s presents a culinary paean to Mexico City in a warm intimate environment. Inspired by his dear Abuela home cooking, Garcia uses organic fresh ingredients and grass feed beef. Be sure to check signature dishes such as Chiles en Nogada (roasted Poblano pepper stuffed with shredded pork, peaches, pears, apples and almonds covered in a walnut sauce and pomegranate) and Mixiote de Carnero (spiced lamb with chile ancho and chile guajillo steamed in a banana leaf). Popular spot for brunch. Even more popular spot to quaff excellent cocktails while enjoying amazing food.

Pierre Loti – Union Square

East Village

Pierre Loti wine bar named after the turn-of-the-century French novelist, Pierre Loti offers an extensive menu of European wines. French varietals dominate the offerings, but the selection includes a healthy mix of other regions and grapes (Austria, Italy, and even Turkey make appearances). There are daily pocket-friendly specials, and each pour comes with a little extra in a fancy carafe. Vibe-wise, the ultra-dim lighting ensures the place stays rife with snuggly couples
