7. Duchamp - CLOSED
I love a restaurant that serves St. Germain cocktails! The Suzanne was delicious-I can totally picture myself sitting on the patio sipping 5 of those during dinner. Light, refreshing and just a hint of sweetness balanced with the tartness of the…More »
8. The Map Room
After an exhausting meal of Peruvian brunch buffet, the Map Room was the perfect place to wind down with a great beer.
The OCD side of me LOVES that the bottled beers are alphabetized but I wish they also included prices along with bottle sizes.

I could eat JUST chifrijo for dinner and I'd be completely satisfied! But since I'm me and I require lots of food, I ordered tons of food! Bf and I split the pepito sandwich (which someone mentioned tasted just like a philly cheese steak) tasty, but…More »

I LOOOOOVE oxtail stew and Cafe Laguardia's did not disappoint. It was rich, filled with oxtail and thick. Really satisfying. My only complaint about the oxtail stew was that it was too well flavored to go with the pigeon rice. The pigeon rice is…More »

19. Habana Libre
I went with a group of about 10 people on a Saturday night. The place was packed and it definitely seemed like a popular spot. We all shared the large appetizer tray, I thought most of the appetizers were mediocre and kind of forgetable. On the…More »

1 1/2 hour wait on a Saturday night. Highlights were Juliet & Romeo and the Part & Parcel. Low lights were some whiskey drink and the golden cage. Discovered I'm not a fan of egg whites in drinks, makes them too foamy for my taste. Also they…More »

Piece is fine. the pizza is good, the home brewed beer is better and it's always way too crowded. I don't get the hype. I've had delivery/take out numerous times and although I enjoy mashed potatoes on my pizza, I still like red…More »

Anyways, NEVER EVER EVER have I had a…More »
24. Brand BBQ Market
I think the food for the price is fine. Their burgers are good, sometimes the burnt ends are too burnt, as in pitch black and covered in soot. If it was just based on food, I'd go back if I were in the neighborhood. However! On two separate…More »
