Fun, very crowded dance parties on the weekend. Low key dive bar during the week
Cochon Butcher's Muffaletta is one of the world's great sandwiches and approximately 100x better than Central Grocery's
The world's best fried chicken. Also, butter beans and corn bread. Dooky Chase's chicken isn't even in the same universe
Skip the food (unless you're around for a drag brunch on select Saturdays) and pony up $15 ($10 on weekdays) for all day admission to the pool / hot tub in the backyard
Great Bulgarian food in a lively, authentic (but not kitschy) environment. Pickled peppers, chicken haiduke, stuffed pork tenderloin, grafche tafche, nettle mash in a pan, cake with peaches
2014 Fooding Guide best bistro: spot-on synthesis of the signs of modernity (Raoul’s laid-back service, barista at the bar…) in the urban milieu
This bar is great, and it's the only good option in this part of town. Very good cocktails and very good food (get the French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese)
Bistec or tinga huarache (or get one with both on it). Also heard good things about the chile rellenos
One of my favorite places in NYC. I’ve been coming since 2004. Faves are octopus salad, roast chicken, soups, the best Cuban sandwich, oxtail
Great brisket and pulled lamb. Tomato and zucchini salad excellent also. Free beans and iced tea. Bland strip mall setting is the only minus
