1. Athom Café
Brooklyn, NY 11221
(646) 881-5834
Categories:
French,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Bedford Stuyvesant, Bushwick
UM WHAT. This exists in Bushwick? More importantly, I've been living two blocks away from here for 16 months, yet I've never been?
All I have had is the cheese danish but honestly that was enough to win me over. I'm looking forward to going back…More »
2. Candle 79
How have I not written about my experience at Candle 79? I'm about as far from a vegan or vegetarian as one can get, but this was easily one of my favorite dining experiences last year. I went to a friend's birthday dinner along with a few women in…More »
3. Crif Dogs
New York, NY 10009
(212) 614-2728
Category:
Hot Dogs
Neighbourhoods: East Village, Alphabet City
I love single topic restaurants. They make it easy for you... they've chosen what you're going to eat, all you have to do is decide on the variation.
Which means it's actually not easy in the slightest, at least if you're at Crif Dogs. First there's…More »
4. Daniel
My "second family" took me here as a Christmas gift a few years ago... one of the best gifts I have ever received.
It's been awhile so there's not much I can say except... if I could eat the way we ate at Daniel every single day, I would be a happy…More »
5. Falafel Kitchen
Fresh Meadows, NY 11366
(718) 487-4696
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Kosher
Neighbourhoods: Utopia, Hillcrest, Flushing
The food here is great (though this place definitely has a different name now - Sizzling something? I'm not entirely sure, so I'm sticking my review here). I love Middle Eastern sandwiches, and the ones here do not disappoint. I've had both the…More »
6. Hop Devil Grill
New York, NY 10009
(212) 533-4468
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Bars
Neighbourhoods: East Village, Alphabet City
Here is a list of things I love about Hop Devil:
1) Great rotating selection of beer. I go here every couple of weeks, and the beers to choose from during each visit rarely overlap. Not to mention they're all really great craft brews. They have…More »
7. il laboratorio del gelato
New York, NY 10002
(212) 343-9922
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
Yesterday was a big day for me. Let me share a bit of my blag that's relevant to this place.
"I set out to get myself some gelato. But when I got to the city, il laboratorio del gelato on Orchard St. was closed! I was heartbroken. So I just wandered…More »
8. il laboratorio del gelato
New York, NY 10002
(212) 343-9922
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
Wow. What incredible gelato.
My best friend was in from Florida and had a hankering for gelato. Naturally, we turned to Yelp and found this place's listing, with its high reviews and single dollar sign in the price range. Could there be a better,…More »
9. La Maison du Macaron
New York, NY 10011
(212) 243-2757
This is my favorite place to get macarons in NYC! Yes, they are a tad pricey (they run for 2.50 a pop) but they're absolutely worth every single penny. They are light and packed with flavor and the filling is so creamy. My favorites include…More »
10. Marcos Gourmet Pizzeria
This is so the best pizza in Poughkeepsie. I remember how thrilled I was when Marco's moved in, and I have never been disappointed. Every slice of pizza I have ever had from here has been piping hot, with gooey cheese and the perfect amount of…More »
11. La Sirene
Boyfriend and I have done Taureau twice and loved it a million times over, so I was very excited when he surprised me with New Year's Eve reservations at La Sirene. And after that visit, I can officially say that I'm a Didier Pawlicki fan girl.…More »
12. Macbar
New York, NY 10012
(212) 226-8877
Categories:
American (New),
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Nolita
GO EAT THE MAC QUACK (duck confit and caramelized onions with herbs and fontina).
Everything from my original review still holds true BUT GO EAT THE MAC QUACK. Right now.
PS - one of their mac and cheese containers is holding a bunch of my office…More »

13. The Meatball Shop
New York, NY 10002
(212) 982-8895
Categories:
Italian,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
The Meatball Shop is fan-flippin'-tastic. Both my sit-down and take out experiences were an absolute... ball.
First off, I want to address the awesome service we got here. The staff was friendly and helpful and hilarious. My first experience with…More »
14. The Peekskill Brewery
This is long but I hope it's worth it.
I had visited the Brewery right around the time they opened. We had some of the pub snacks and a couple of beers, but none of them were Peekskill brews. It was too early for that, methinks. The food was good (I…More »
15. Press195
My friend has been dragging me out to Bayside for Greek food for a few months. Now, Avli is really delicious, but my friend also knows how much I love sandwiches so I'm a little upset that she's been hiding this gem from me.
Came on a weekday evening…More »
16. Shanghai Café
New York, NY 10013
(212) 966-3988
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Chinatown
GO HERE THE SOUP DUMPLINGS ARE AWESOME.
I fell in love with soup dumplings at Joe's Shanghai, but Shanghai Cafe's soup dumplings are way better than those. They were just as big, but more carefully crafted... not a single one fell apart during the…More »
17. Soul Dog
You don't know what you can put on a hot dog until you get to Soul Dog. Then you find out you can put anything on it, and it blows your mind.
Soul Dog, you need a NYC location. I miss the opportunity to have a guacamole-sour cream-cheddar cheese…More »
18. Soup Spot
New York, NY 10001
(212) 643-8623
Categories:
Food Stands,
Soup
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
This is easily my favorite soup in New York. Soup Spot has a list of about tens and tens of soups that could make. Every day they pick 15 or 17 or some oddteen number of soups, make 'em, and serve 'em til they're gone. Because of that, it's best…More »
19. Tadka Indian Cuisine - CLOSED
A review of Tadka popped up in "new reviews near you" on my homepage, reminded me that I have yet to review this place. I don't generally like Indian food; I am unable to eat things that are remotely spicy because it hurts my entire face, but one of…More »
20. Taureau
New York, NY 10009
(212) 228-2222
The most incredible dining experience I've had in a long time.
A week prior to coming here, I spent a full day on the internet looking at French restaurants and continuously salivating. After spending no less than half an hour reading about Taureau…More »
21. Thai Village
Six months ago, boyfriend didn't know me, but more importantly, didn't know what Yelp was. And yet, as we walked out of Thai Village last night, he said "that was -at least- 4-and-a-half stars!"
"Yes but you can't give half-stars which INFURIATES…More »
22. Wine on Third
Boyfriend and I came to Wine on Third on our last night in Niagara Falls, and found that this place is a bright, bright spot in the otherwise dark and dismal dining experience one finds in this city.
We arrived just before 9pm, and were told that we'd…More »
23. Acquista Trattoria
Flushing, NY 11366
(718) 969-1411
Florence K. is right... this is the best place for penne alla vodka. It's also the best place for adding things to that penne alla vodka, like chicken and/or asparagus and/or fresh mozzarella balls. I'd say add them all at the same time but then it…More »
24. Pommes Frites
Standing on line, waiting to get regular fries with pomegranate teriyaki mayo slathered all over.

25. Bagels & Co
Fresh Meadows, NY 11366
(718) 217-7755
Category:
Bagels
Neighbourhoods: Utopia, Fresh Meadows, Flushing
I finally remembered to try Bagels & Co., and I was not disappointed.
Boyfriend brought me the biggest, most cream cheesiest bagel I've seen in awhile. I knew it was going to be a delicious breakfast when I could smell the bagels walking through my…More »
26. Shah's Halal Cart
Flushing, NY 11367
Categories:
Halal,
Food Stands
Neighbourhoods: Pomonok, Flushing
There are three or four of these stands circling the perimeter of Queens College, and that's kind of a problem because this is the most delicious halal food you can get anywhere (yes, that's right, I said that)!
I am partial to the cart on Melbourne,…More »
27. Belgian Room
New York, NY 10009
(212) 533-4467
This place is one of my favorite's along St. Mark's. Even on the weekends, it is a quiet and cozy corner on an otherwise busy and crazy street. It's nice and dark and just has a drinking-good-beer feel.
Small number of taps, with a decent bottle…More »
28. Steve's - CLOSED
Manhattan, NY 10017
Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Midtown East
Steve's might be closed but it lives on at Madison Square Eats and in freezers at every awesome grocery store ever. And I meant to get my two cents in awhile ago but failed. Thus, I will review the closed store.
The honey vanilla made with coconut…More »
