1. Oaxaca
Brooklyn, NY 11231
(718) 643-9630
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus
Yummy tacos and enchilada. My least favorite of the three was the taco al pastor. It was bit on the dry side and was missing that fresh flavor that the pineapple provides. Next the chicken mole taco. After having amazing mole negro at another Mexican…More »
3. The Stanton Social

(212) 995-0099
Categories:
Tapas/Small Plates,
Nightlife

My friends and I came back here to test out the service again and the entire experience was amazing. We loved the tapas, the service was attentive and friendly and the manager really seems to care about his patrons having a good experience here. I am…More »

4. Baohaus - CLOSED
New York, NY 10002
(646) 684-3835
Chairman Bao : that was one amazing Bao to start with. It had the nicest springiest bun and was filled with delectable pork belly and a rich sweet sauce and peanut and cilantro garnish. Though small in stature it was worth every penny. One of the…More »
5. Doughnut Plant
New York, NY 10002
(212) 505-3700
Categories:
Donuts,
Coffee & Tea,
Bakeries
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
Must get the peanut butter glazed and blackberry jam filled doughnut. Everything about it was perfect. It is slightly chewy, with just enough glaze and just enough jam filling. Definitely the best doughnut I have ever had and nothing has ever even…More »
6. Vive La Crepe
Delicious. I was not even much in the mood for a crepe but it was cold out and the closest thing was his little crepe spot. The temperature inside was pretty chilly so it was off to a bad start but as I watched her make the crepe with such…More »
7. The Hurricane Club
Hurricane Club is always a fun place for apps and drinks. Since it was my friend's birthday we decided to share a bowl of the Brazilian (very similar to a caipirinha). This was immensely tasty and pretty dangerous but well worth it. We had three.

8. Shanghai Café
New York, NY 10013
(212) 966-3988
Category:
Chinese
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Chinatown
Just when I thought that I couldn't get better dumplings than at Joe's Shanghai, I found out that I can! The crab and pork soup dumplings at Shanghai Cafe are the best that I have ever had. The dumpling wrapper was the perfect thickness and…More »
9. Bark Hot Dogs
Brooklyn, NY 11217
(718) 789-1939
Amazing! My goodness it was the epitome of the perfect hotdog. It had the perfect snap and when accompanied by the buttery top loading bun, the baked beans and the cheddar sauce, it was a party in my mouth. I savored each bite. All I can say is wow!

10. Caracas Arepa Bar
New York, NY 10009
(212) 529-2314
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhood: East Village
Just as good as the first time. Even though those little arepas may not seem filling, they sure are! The De Pabellon is my favorite (ok, so it is the only one I have tried), but it is tough to try something new once you try that one! Definitely would…More »

11. Calexico Carne Asada
Brooklyn, NY 11231
(718) 488-8226
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Columbia Street Waterfront District
For a condiment queen like myself, eating at the restaurant was perfect. There were about 5 different dipping sauce, pickled veggies, and salsas to choose from their salsa bar. I ordered the Carne Asada Quesadilla and that too came with a nice side…More »

Brooklyn, NY 11201
(718) 858-6818
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhoods: Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill
Best Bahn mi that I have had thus far. It was thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients served at the right temperature. The ground meat and ham was served nice and warm and tender, while the pickled veggies were cool and crisp. The cilantro…More »

Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich
Huge. That is the sandwich in a nutshell! I was only able to eat a couple bites after having the pizza, but it sure was good! Rich creamy chocolate ice cream nestled between two chocolatey chip cookies, it was everything…More »
14. Bon Chon Chicken
New York, NY 10016
(212) 686-8282
Categories:
Chicken Wings,
Korean
Neighbourhoods: Koreatown, Midtown East
Yummy chicken and potstickers and bulgogi tacos and kimchee coleslaw...but don't come here for the drinks. Get your grub on for sure, but dirty martinis are very much not a specialty here.

15. Lure Fishbar
Nice happy hour especially if you love oysters. My friend and I had an oysterfest there complete with raw oysters, fried oysters and oyster shooters. The raw oysters were nicely briney and tasty and only $1.50 each. The fried oysters were served 4 to…More »
16. Catania
Brooklyn, NY 11201
(718) 522-2880
I just came back from lunch and I must say that this place surely is a treat. I ordered the Cipollina (Puff Pastry Pattie with Scallions, Ham Tomato and Cheese) and the Panna Cotta. The Cipollina was lovely. The puff pastry was not too flaky (which i…More »
17. Kingston Tropical Bakery
Best beef patties and coco bread ever. Ever ever? Yes. Ever ever! The krust is flaky but moist so it doesn't leave crumbs of patty evidence all over your face and desk like a krusty krime scene like some patties that shall remain nameless (i think we…More »
18. Buffalo Boss
Yummy wangs! Okay so they aren't the genetically hormone enhanced wings with a ton of meat on them. But they are flavorful and you can get them regular, crispy, extra crispy or burnt as options. The sauce is the best part here. I had the honey bbq…More »
19. Gyu-Kaku
New York, NY 10003
(212) 475-2989
Eating here makes you feel like you are a greedy giant because the portions are so tiny, but it does taste good! We were able to just walk in at prime eating hour on a Thursday night and luckily got a nice comfy booth right away. Thank goodness the…More »

New York, NY 10003
(212) 228-9682
Pierogies...yum! I love all things dumpling. The chewy exterior and the sweet potato yummy interior joined forces to have a little party in my mouth. My coworker and I got there around 12pm on a Friday for lunch and we were seated right away. The…More »

Wow I was pretty surprised at how great this place was! I am not in this area much for dinner but I happened to come across this place that my niece had been to recently. We were a party of 12 and though service was pretty slow, the food was…More »
