Fatty ‘Cue West Village: Better Than the Brooklyn Original?
Chef Zakary Pelaccio and his kitchens of mad-genius chefs have whipped up some of our favorite meals of the last few years: at the original Maylasian-y Fatty Crab on Hudson Street, and then the Upper West Side version of the same. The temporary "ham restaurant," Fatty Johnsons, where his late lamented taco spot Cabrito also once […]
Chef Dave Martin’s Meatball Factory Vs. the Meatball Shop
We've been fans of the Meatball Shop since it opened a few years ago on the Lower East Side, and have cheered on its subsequent expansion to both Williamsburg and the West Village. The more meatballs the merrier, as far as we're concerned. That said, we were definitely a little skeptical when Top Chef finalist […]
Pub Food in New York: The Wren NYC on Bowery
The stretch of Bowery from Houston to about West 4th needs a new, hip, casual, boozy restaurant like it needs a hole in its head (think: Peels, Hecho en Dumbo, DBGB, Pulinos, etc.). BUT if said (eating- and watering-) hole is as good and as much fun as the Wren? Well, then.. we’ll take it! […]
Torrisi Italian Specialties’ Downtown Restaurant: Parm NYC
One of our favorite meals of 2010 was the mega-course miracle at Torrisi Italian Specialties on Mulberry Street, a feast of old school dishes given the exact-right update, or twist. The opportunity to indulge in a Torrisi binge hasn't presented itself since then (the wait for table in the tiny, no-reservation room is long; the […]
Dos Toros Taqueria & Toloache: NYC’s new Upper East Side Mexican Spot
Two of our favorite Mexican spots in New York City, Toloache and Dos Toros–both very different; both very good–opened up new locations on the Upper East Side this fall, and we couldn’t be more excited about having our periodic taco cravings so easily satisfied. Sure, there have been several ok Upper East Side Mexican restaurant […]
Schnipper’s on 23rd Street: NYC Flatiron District’s solid quick-bite option
If you’re like us, it’ll to happen sooner rather than later: you’re walking around in the vicinity of the beautiful Flatiron District, hanging in lovely Madison Square Park, shopping along that stretch of stores on lower Fifth Avenue (or at the fun new Marimekko!), or engaged in any of a dozen other reasons to be in […]
East Village Restaurants: Prima NYC on First Street
You know you’re in good hands when the bread- (semolina, from Grandaisy) and olive oil- (a generous pour of something spectacular) course gets your eyes rolling back in ecstasy. But then, we expected good things before we even walked into Prima NYC, a handsome, comfortable, friendly restaurant, just opened on First Street by a crack […]
A Vegetarian Restaurant in NYC: Green Bean Cafe on the Upper East Side
As regular readers of our restaurant reviews are undoubtedly aware, we’re not vegans, or vegetarians, preferring an omnivoric approach to our eating. That said, we love any sort of food that tastes good, so when several of our Upper East Side friends recommended the NYC vegetarian restaurant Green Bean Cafe (they have lots of strictly […]
Molly’s Cupcakes: A sweet and playful West Village Cafe in NYC
Truth is, Molly’s Cupcakes totally had us at their sign in the window: “Unattended Children will be given an espresso and a free puppy.” Ok, sure, it’s a tad hokey (and, as a quick google reveals, not even remotely original), but still, it sums up nicely the playful, comfortable vibe of this newish West Village […]
Italian Restaurants in NYC: Frankies 570 Now in the West Village
Whenever we’re wandering South Brooklyn or the Lower East Side, Frankies Spuntino is always one of our go-to choices for a first-rate, satisfying meal that’s easy on the wallet and always feels a bit like a party. Pastas, salads, sandwiches, veggie sides… everything is good here. The original Frankies, on Court Street in Carroll Gardens, […]
