New York Recommendations

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: 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: Everything. But especially the chicken parm sandwich.

Amber: Get the spicy square. Pepperoni for dayz. (Honestly, don't waste your time with anything else, the spice square is why you're here).

Amber: THE ALMOND CROISSANT. AND BABKA.

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

Amber: The Chairman and the Birdhaus baos. Pork belly or fried chicken. So simple but SO craveable.

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

Amber: Incredible ice cream. Another one of my favorite ice cream places in the world. The flavors are rich and the scoops are large - ordering a double is often a mistake 😂

Amber: Creative flavors, super high quality ice cream. Try 'tea dance'. One of my favorite ice cream places in the world. That said, I was devastated when 'Coffee and Champagne' disappeared from their menu.

Amber: A transplant from Philly, Han Dynasty is still the best Szechuan I've found. Their heat scale has gotten somewhat toned down over the years, but everything else has stayed the same - awesome.

Time Out New York: Proletariat is a much-deserved look into no-holds-barred beer geekdom, blissfully free of TVs, generic pub grub & high-fiving mooks. It holds only 12 stools & its menus have been replaced w/ a QR code Mehr erfahren.

Emily Wilson: Definitely get an order of the fried chicken to start, then go for any of the udon bowls.

Untapped Cities: Wait! Don't leave! There's a long line for a reason. Wah Fung's $3.00 roast pork over rice is one of the best deals in the city, if not America. And it's every bit as delicious as you hope it'll be. Mehr erfahren.

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

Amber: The Peking Duck sesame pancake is only available at the location on Eldridge. Worth the trek. Also, the coconut boba is solid.

Amber: Best soup dumplings in NYC.

Fred Wilson: Get the four or five roll combos. They are priced way better than ala carte. Also the line moves fast. Don't let it deter you.
