New York Approved

Amber: Fantastic, original flavors. So good.

Amber: The ramen is great. The pork buns are even better.

Amber: Big, heavy burger with a focus on the meat. Super tasty.

Amber: Lots of outlets + good coffee = great place to get some work done

Amber: Fried chicken with mashed potatoes on a biscuit. Do I need to say anything else?

Amber: Everything is solid. I particularly like the pulled pork sandwich but they're all good.

Amber: Dan dan noodles, dry fry string beans and spicy cucumbers.

Amber: Not a fancy burger, but so good.

Amber: The coconut cream doughnut may be the best doughnut I've ever had.

Amber: Cute spot, decent food.

Amber: Everything. But especially the chicken parm sandwich.

Amber: Thin crust pizza. Super thin. But really good. Pro tip: if you go before 5pm you can get it by the slice.

Amber: They only sell one sandwich for a reason. It's good. Only complaint is the price point - if it cost less this sandwich would be one of my all time favorites.

Amber: Come here for the Peking Duck. Not cheap, but delicious.

Amber: Super tasty New Zealander food. Similar to Gramercy Tavern and Tuome as far as quality, price and niceness. Three of my fav nice, quiet dinner spots.

Amber: Dining in the tavern is always a good choice - consistently good service and delicious food. Also, they have a burger that is only available during lunch, but is worth making an effort for.

Amber: Good ramen, great pork buns. Really great pork buns.

Amber: The shroomtown pizza is covered in mushrooms and truffle oil. Can't go wrong there.

Amber: The Pad See Ew, Khao Soi Gai and Green Curry Fried Rice = my usual order.

Amber: Not only is the pizza great (try the colony), the burger is also fantastic

Amber: Soooo goooood. If you've never had Taiwanese shaved ice, definitely worth coming here to check it out.

Amber: The unlimited mimosas with brunch are a big draw - multiple flavors each day mean fun decisions, but what really seals the deal is that the food is actually pretty good.

Amber: I crave the chairman and birdhaus baos pretty much every week.

Amber: Reliable and fast.

Amber: Come here for the Brown Butter and Sage Cavatelli. Everything else is fine, but that's the real reason you're here.

Amber: Chicken milanese and any of the pastas. Reliable, cheap and fast.

Amber: The cookies! They're sooooo good!

Amber: The pastas here are great. And seating outside makes it even better on a summer evening.

Amber: The fried chicken sandwich is a little spicy. And very good.

Amber: The green tea soft serve is great.

Amber: The fried chicken sandwich is great. Add the pimento cheese.

Amber: THE ALMOND CROISSANT. AND BABKA.

Amber: The pork and chive dumplings are the best dumplings in Chinatown! And for $1.25 they're one of the cheapest meals you can find in Manhattan.

Amber: Solid sandwiches, great quality ingredients, committed to keeping things sustainable and responsible = I'm a fan.

Amber: The lunch special is a great deal and the fried chicken is a super tasty side.

Amber: The chicken and porridge dish is unbelievably good. And the persimmon/burrata appetizer is too.

Amber: The tagliatelle is a fantastic dish. And the olive oil cake for dessert is great.

Amber: Not the most high end of burgers on a list of good burgers in NYC, but also more affordable than many. Still a good quality burger and the flavor profile makes it really craveable

Amber: Great Italian sandwiches.

Amber: HUGE and delicious, the sandwiches here are great. Personally a fan of their chicken cutlet with fresh mozz and pesto.

Amber: Heavy, rich, yummy burger. Similar to Emily in size and richness. Delicious, but can also sometimes be overwhelming.

Amber: Fried chicken and waffles. Sides are good too.

Amber: Goat milk soft serve. Unique and super yummy. Addicting.

Amber: The guac and nachos are good but you're actually here for the margaritas.

Amber: Blue Velvet forever.

Amber: The guy on the phone is hilariously rude but the chicken tikka is reallyy tasty. Too bad you can only get it accompanied with rice and sides (which are meh and take up a ton of packaging).

Amber: I have yet to find better halal in NYC. And the guy is always nice.

Amber: Super backyard beer spot. Just wish they would enforce their smoking area a little better.

Amber: The cappelletti = winner

Amber: Forget the bialys, they have BABKA FRENCH TOAST

Amber: Fresh pasta. It's what's for dinner.

Amber: Good spot to grab a sandwich if you need a lunch to-go

Amber: Burrata soft serve makes this place aaaaaalmost worth the hype.
