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 »

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 »
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.

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 »
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 »

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.
