Some places I dined at on my most recent trip to NYC!

17 Prince St
New York, NY 10012
(212) 625-2001

Categories: Cuban, Mexican

Neighbourhood: Nolita

5.0 star rating
  4/17/2009

As soon as my Yelp pals caught wind of my impending trip to New York, the first words outta their mouths were, "make sure you go to Cafe Habana for lunch!", and it's no wonder it's in the top 10 most reviewed restos on NY Yelp, because it is…More »

(212) 505-6559

4.0 star rating
  4/17/2009

80% of Esperanto's clientele must be generated solely from Sunburnt Cow spillover! Like other reviewers here, we had plans to go to Sunburnt Cow, but when we showed up twenty minutes after it had opened and were informed that they were no longer…More »

 3. Udon West

150 E 46th St
New York, NY 10017
(212) 922-9677

Category: Cafes

Neighbourhood: Midtown East

4.0 star rating
  4/17/2009

Um, how is it that before my visit to Udon West I'd never tried udon noodle soup before?? Oh right - I ate nothing but bread and butter sandwiches until I was 14. I got off to an admittedly slow start.

Since I'm a total newb, I let the experts I was…More »

 4. Subtle Tea - CLOSED

121 Madison Ave
New York, NY 10016
(212) 481-4713

Categories: Tea Rooms, Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhood: Midtown East

5.0 star rating
  4/17/2009

I'm a colossal fan of chai tea lattes at Starbucks (soy milk, no water) but let's be honest: Starbucks does not know tea. Their Tazo Green Tea With Ginger is among the most revolting conctions I've ever had. The chai tea latte is a solid choice but…More »

 5. Dhaba

108 Lexington Ave
New York, NY 10016
(212) 679-1284

Category: Indian

Neighbourhood: Flatiron

4.0 star rating
  4/15/2009

At 12:45pm on a Tuesday you'd expect an Indian buffet restaurant to be spilling over with rabidly hungry patrons, but to my surprise (and extreme pleasure) we were able to snag a window seat without any fuss or trouble.

We headed straight for the…More »

 6. The National

8 Rivington St
New York, NY 10002
(212) 777-2177

Category: American (New)

Neighbourhood: Lower East Side

5.0 star rating
  9/17/2009

Pretty much perfect.

Impeccable service - our server and the owner were unobtrusive, yet always available when we needed a wine refill or had questions. Very professional.

If you've ever doubted your ability to adore vegetables, order any single item…More »

 7. Stumptown Coffee Roasters

20 W 29th St
New York, NY 10001
(212) 679-2222

Category: Coffee & Tea

Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Flatiron

5.0 star rating
  6/8/2010

Turbohunk alert. I don't know if the boys that work here dress the way they do because they want to harken back to an era when newsboy caps, suspenders and tweed herringbone pants were de rigueur, or if that's the actual uniform here. No matter -…More »

 8. Sugar Sweet Sunshine Bakery

126 Rivington St
New York, NY 10002
(212) 995-1960

Category: Bakeries

Neighbourhood: Lower East Side

5.0 star rating
  6/13/2010

How on earth are these little bromigos SO cheap? $1.50, tax in, for a monster cupcake in a dizzying array of flavours. I had to test drive the standard red velvet flavour to make up my mind. It was honestly - and I'm going to use the word m-o-i-s-t…More »

 9. El Diablo Taco Truck

484 Union Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11211

Categories: Food Stands, Mexican

Neighbourhood: Williamsburg - North Side

4.0 star rating
  6/15/2010

I love the concept of a taco truck. The oppressive rules in the town that I call home (Toronto) prohibit the sale of anything that's not street meat if it's on wheels and doesn't have a fixed address, so seeing El Diablo truck camped out at the back…More »

 10. Spoon

17 W 20th St
New York, NY 10011
(646) 230-7000

Categories: Caterers, Breakfast & Brunch, American (New)

Neighbourhood: Flatiron

5.0 star rating
  6/20/2010

We picked up "one of everything" from Spoon's menu and brought it back to a Central Eating Zone so I can't vouch for the decor at Spoon, as I didn't see it.

And I also can't vouch for anything on the menu that doesn't have the words "Grilled" "Fish"…More »
