A pure coffee bar/cafe with a very small selection of pastries in the morning. The coffee is great and they really do care about customer feedback since they are constantly adjusting their pricing to suit the East Village crowd.
The baristas are so…More »
Lovely space. Delicious desserts and drinks. Great staff.
Walking into DessertTruck out of a summer day is like finding an oasis in the dessert. Delicious, sweet oasis.
I can't even begin to rave about their desserts. The chocolate bread pudding, the…More »

A little hole in the wall. Friendly. A little slow because there's usually only one person behind the counter, but I always walk away with a great cup of smoothie in my hand.
All the drinks are made to order and you can see the barista scrambling…More »

Minca is good. I have to say it's one of the only ramen shops in the city that really makes an effort in the art of ramen. A lot of other places just dump frozen noodles into a bland bowl of soup that are probably made with packages stock mixes.

I've lived around here and passed it for years and for some reason I just never went in until now. It was on my must visit list, but it's always crowded and there's a long wait. Finally, one rainy Sunday night, I popped in for dinner. Woah...I'm in…More »

Long wait always. This place is always jam packed, I tried to bring friends here several times, but even a reservation doesn't help much.
The food is delicious. Like many, I thought the lamb was scrumptious. The goat cheese salad was just right.…More »
Ok, this is a totally biased review. How can I give a bad review when the owner Didier was so accommodating and sweet to us? He chatted us up and made us feel like we've been going there for ages. Such a comfortable and warm environment. (+1 to make…More »

I live by Lavagna and have been there a couple of times with my family. The space is intimate, darkly lit, and really gives off a warm and comfortable atmosphere. It's even nicer during the warm weather, when you can have a nice breezy table by the…More »

A tiny hole-in-the-wall that serves Vietnamese appetizers, sandwiches, rice & noodles, drinks, and desserts. The menu isn't very long and the options are simple. You really can't go wrong with any of them.
Besides being a tiny shop on a quiet East…More »

A nice sunny day, a seat near the open storefront, nice & friendly wait staff, and a tall glass of coffee frappe along with a tasty pita sandwich. That was my first time at S.GR and I was hooked.
The restaurant décor is what I imagine a café in Greece…More »

Delicious pretzels. Great coffee. Nice atmosphere. Free wi-fi. Open storefront. Come here and chill out.
The pretzels are made fresh all day. I especially love their garlic pretzels with nutella or goat cheese dip.
I also like to pick up a box of…More »

I've been curious about this place for a while. It's been featured everywhere, and when Andrew Zimmerman went there for one of his tasks, my curiosity peaked. So I went down there for lunch one sunny Sunday.
