Category:
Department Stores
Neighbourhoods: Civic Center, TriBeCa
Round o' applause for Lot Less! I stumbled into Lot Less after brunch out of curiousity. What is Lot Less, I asked myself. Is it better than Less Less down the street? Is it a lot less than less less or a lot more? Well...I can answer: don't even…More »

I love love love this place. Cannot get enough of it. I have a serious Pho addiction...I legit can eat it 3 times a week. I sit there thinking of Anthony Bourdain's Food Porn episode on Pho and and I'm DONE..I need to get my fix.

Organic. Healthy. Delicious. What else can you ask for!
I frequented Yorganic practically everyday when I lived at Hanover Square. Right before 9pm (closing time) I would get a sudden urge for my favorite frozen yogurt and run downstairs to beat the…More »
5. Elevated Acre

(212) 963-7099
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,
Parks
Neighbourhood: Financial District
In an area which is already solace from the rest of busy Manhattan, the Elevated Acre adds an extra sweetness to FiDi. I used to live right next to it and my window would look down on this appropriately named acre of AstroTurf and I would see…More »
6. Shake Shack
New York, NY 10282
(646) 545-4600
The Franchise:
In a war between Shake Shack and In 'n Out, my east coast loyalty shines through. Shake Shack burgers are always cooked to perfection and the veggies are always bright, fresh, and hand cut. You know how the slop fast food joints throw…More »

So...I have a bone to pick with these guys. I have been dying to get at this spot. First time I came here...we walk in to two prepsters with two boxes of donuts. The pretty lady behind the counter says, "Sorry, they just wiped us out." Prepster #1…More »
8. Sprinkles Cupcakes
New York, NY 10065
(212) 207-8375
I'm an east coast girl.
I'll take Shake Shack over In n Out any day.
I'd rather stare at the Statue of Liberty over the Golden Gate Bridge.
As much as I hate the cold, I'd never give up a white Christmas.
You get my point....but when it comes to…More »

Anytime I feel the chills of winter or a little cold sneaking up on me, I crave ramen, pho, soodooboo, etc. When it comes to ramen this place is awesome. Yes, Ippudo has a name and a delicious bowl of tasty ramen noodles BUT Ippudo also has a damn…More »
10. Steve's Pizza
In terms of pizza tastiness - Steve's probably ranges from 2 to 3 stars maybe. You have to try pretty damn hard to make a bad pizza pie...Steve's is your typical NY slice - no better no worse. It's damn tasty sober and even tastier drunk (note: they…More »

SOOooo I'm walking around the Theatre District from one lunch spot to the next and NOTHING tempted me. Not thai, not chinese, not salad, not soup, not any of the everyday mundane midtown grub. I was headed to Cafe Duke when I passed the Jamaican…More »

This review is coming from a non-gluten allergy reviewer which means I may be a bit more critical as I can still remember the taste of regular baked goods yumminess...well let me tell you. This place is pretty legit. Gluten free eaters always…More »
13. Soup Cart

Category:
Food Stands
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Theater District
This cart has been right outside my office for some time and I never thought to try the soups. I've only had "street cart" food once but since it was amazing I decided I would finally try the soup cart. It's starting to get chilly, so I headed over…More »
14. Wo Hop Restaurant

Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Chinatown, Civic Center
Like many others, my friends have been RAVING about Mr. Wo Hop and how we just HAVE to go. Reading fellow yelpers reviews, I was a bit wary. Do you really have to be wasted to enjoy fried dumplings? That's just sad.
This place is all about the…More »

I adore Chinatown...If I could fold it up and put it in my pocket, I would. HOWEVER, this spot is right off of Canal and bajesus god I could have nerf-gunned the crowds trying to get to my soup dumplings. The stress was enough to build up an appetite…More »
16. Dumpling Man
How can you pass up a restaurant with a smiling dumpling out front? Call me a sucker but put a cute face on a dumpling and I'm down.
On top of the ^ - ^ dumpling, the cashiers are always friendly and I love watching the dumpling gurus show their…More »

It was 6 o'clock and time to get my happy on. It had been two weeks since I'd seen my ladies and we needed to get our talk on without breaking the bank. Maialino did the trick with it's casual rustic atmosphere and awesome happy hour drink and food…More »
18. Chipotle
I have an inexplicable love for Chipotle. I can cut out my Haagen Dazs Dulche de Leche out, I can cut out my oreos, I can even cut out bread...but Chipotle, damn you sir, I cannot say no to. I try to limit myself to once a week BUT LETZ BE REAL,…More »

Categories:
Italian,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
I love the feel of this place. It's a weird mix between modern and rustic. We got there early so we didn't have to wait but I probably wouldn't try this on the weekend since they don't take reservations and the place gets popping. I know some people…More »

Let me preface by saying I was SO excited to come here based on all the reviews and am so disappointed I can't give this place more stars. I literally TRIED to give it an "A-OK" three stars but my head, and my heart, has to stay true to my fellow…More »

Sushi Bars

Drugstores
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, Theater District
I usually only head here if I've taken a heavy dose of Advil or feel particularly zen.
There are:
Long long check out lines.
Not particularly friendly employees.
Unhelpful layouts.
Dare I say it - rude, annoying customers to deal with.
BUT...it's a…More »

Who said there's nothing downtown!? (19)So we aren't bustling like the West Village or packed with little restaurants like the East Village. But when you head down to FiDi or Battery Park to take in the awesome river views (That's right, you're on an island, remember!?) and to say what up to Lady Liberty, know that you always have these options! |
You think looking this good comes free? (9)All the places it takes to beautify! |
It's not the size of the boat... (10)Don't judge these gems on their size! |
Let's get down and dirty. (8)When you just feel like tucking that pinky in, unpopping that collar, taking off those pearls and boat shoes and going face first into some tasty grub. No need to get the Rolls Royce for these! |
Sweet Tooth Go Tos (4)When life's not treating you sweetly..get your own sweets and drown those sorrows in these tasty treats (rhyme uninteded). |
