The pasta is definitely worth the calories; however, the brussel sprouts are some of my favorite in the city!
Torrisi Lunch is a Hobson's choice between chicken parm and turkey; we say, go turkey. For dinner, arrive around 6pm, they'll give you a time to return to dine later that evening. [Eater 38 Member] Mehr erfahren.
After 11pm, it's the best restaurant in the city. But at any hour epic raw bar platters and perfect fondue and the mere 50-odd seats are among the reasons there's always a wait. [Eater 38 Member]
Chef April Bloomfield holds her own and then some at New York's top gastropub. Arguably the best restaurant burger in New York is served here, and the gnudi needs no introduction. [Eater 38 Member] Mehr erfahren.
This restaurant serves one of the best ragus in the city, & the menu always includes a few terrific vegetables dishes, great meat entrees, and gracefully prepared fish courses. [Eater 38 Member]
The unofficial official First Restaurant of New York. Though its formal dining room is a bit too too for Eater 38 contention, the front room and its seasonal American menu wins. [Eater 38 Member] Mehr erfahren.
Best new place in town. Try Chateau Real Martin in red or white. Great wine to be enjoyed with their now famous Tartines.
Everything here is fabulous, from cocktails to kangaroo (seriously!). -Gail Simmons, Top Chef.
One of my favorite bar eating places. Mario’s food is just so good I still taste it a month afterwards. And he is a very funny guy. -Thierry Rautureau, Top Chef
Described as “last meal”-worthy, it’s the perfect place to take your confessor to show your appreciation for his dexterity with a cheese cutter. Quoted from Zagat.
Mario Batali's osteria maybe be his best effort in New York; it's certainly his most relaxed and consistent. The cacio e pepe is world class. [Eater 38 Member] Mehr erfahren.
Intimate and romantic. A perfect date spot. The cute chef and amazing small plates aren't bad either. -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef
Frank Decarlo's countryside Italian restaurant has long been a staple on the first-date circuit. The room is warm and the food, mostly cooked in clay pots, impossibly comforting. [Eater 38 Member] Mehr erfahren.
We had the best time there…all high tops, there with my girlfriend’s Mom, who is 85, and we all loved it! -Susan Feniger, Top Chef
Chef/owner Jonathan Waxman runs this neighborhood place and makes food that makes people happy. -Jimmy Bradley , Top Chef
Michael White’s newest is one of our favorite spot for Grandma-style rustic Italian. Don’t miss the porchetta or the tagliatelle. Featured in Where to Eat 2011! Mehr erfahren.
Pricey hamburgers are usually all style and no substance, but it's difficult to have any beef with the $26 Black Label burger made with prime dry-aged cuts at this hot spot.
Chef Harold Moore serves terrific fresh pastas, a monster pork chop, and one of New York's very best chickens for two. The space here has a cool old-school vibe. [Eater 38 Member]
