Delicious modern Italian in an intimate setting. Good wine selection. Neighborhood joint, the place is always packed.

Normally don't like fusion, but this stuff is great. Affordable plus they deliver.

Best oyster bar in the city.

Menu is sparse but it does one thing dead on: pork/ham/jamon!

I kept thinking "so this is where the other half eats". Great atmosphere, good solid food. Get the oysters, brick chicken, and anything else

Go there in the summer on all-you-can-eat crab special night. Enjoy their outdoor patio among beers, crabs, and dirty fingers.

Good basic tapas in a trendy setting. Though when we went they were out of jamon serrano. wtf how can you run out? does that stuff go bad?

Book the first seating and linger over dinner. To get ya to leave, they'll offer a private kitchen tour which "ends" outside the dining area

Japanese curry done oh so well - light, creamy, and mild. Don't go expecting thai or indian flavors. Presentation and service was excellent.

Great brunch option in a warm and chill setting. Loved their biscuits and corned duck hash.

Aussie meat pies with an unbelievably delicious flaky crust. Def recession proof: that plus a beer comes to under ten bucks.

Cozy and intimate, this place can teeter on too crowded, but it's a great affordable french place in the west village. Plus it's BYOB!

Delicious upscale japanese home cooking. They serve traditional kaiseiki and it's done so beautifully.

My choice for the Glue launch party. Warm, intimate and cozy with pretty good food.

Uni lovers, rejoice: there is Soto. Sweet briny uni. Get their cooked dishes, the price point of their sushi isn't as worth it.

Great selection of fresh and unique sushi. Good for late night sushi (serves til 2am).

Good for late weeknight food, otherwise the long wait (what is this a nightclub?) makes it unbearable.

The banquet hall is the size of a football field, you sometimes share tables with others but who cares? It's dim sum. Yum.

On a cold day, it doesn't get any better than thinly sliced beef swished in hot broth.

Best pastrami sandwich. And by sandwich I mean the most tender, well-seasoned piles of meat held together by two pieces of sliced bread.

Was a great experience but not worth the hefty price tag-if you're looking for good sushi you can get similar or better at Yasuda.

Chill and relaxing place. Warm and relaxing--food is soso, but great ambiance.

Best BBQ in koreatown. If you're looking for stews or home style food, go elsewhere. For carnivores, go here.

The only way to go is to reserve a spot in front of Yasuda and then let him take you on a magical ride of sushi bliss.

Believe the hype. Their grilled corn is that good. Skip the line and get it to-go next door.

Great atmosphere and Italian food. Perfect for sharing a bottle of wine and people watching.

Great tapas-sized food and great ambiance. Perfect for a date.

Love their brunch.

My neighborhood fave to get my taco fix. Not quite the taco trucks of SF or the vendors in Jackson Heights, but still pretty good.

Warm and intimate place--ideal for a small group or date. Food uses quality ingredients and is just downright tasty.

My go to place for Chinese. Love how they'll deliver to me too.

Hands down best soup dumplings in Manhattan (doesn't include Flushing mind you). And believe me, I've tried nearly all of them.

Tiny udon shop. Great for a no frills but tasty late night bite.

Awesome soba. If you go early in the evening you can watch the master making the noodles by hand: a thousand precise, painstaking cuts.

My favorite izakaya. Yeah it's cheap but you can't go to Masa everyday...

Location/atmosphere beats the food. Still worth going though.

My favorite pizza place in the city.

The broth is amazing. I like the Akamaru Modern. Ah, pork and noodles: two of my great loves, all in one bowl.

If you go, you gotta get the eleven course tasting menu. Decadent yes, but worth every penny.

Best sushi deal in the city. Get their tuna rib (when it's in season)...you literally scoop the tuna right off the bone. Delish!

Ah was a blow to the neighborhood when it closed down....

Don't care much for the cupcakes but LOVE the banana pudding.

Their burgers are kinda overrated but at least they're cheap.
