Five Napkin Burger on the Upper West Side
Five Napkin Burger's been packing in the usual Upper West Side suspects–families with little kids, packs of teenagers, fifth-date couples, old-timers, late-night solo snackers–since it opened in February on a prime corner of 84th and Broadway. And no surprise, really, that it's a popular choice. Not only does this friendly, casual "neighborhood restaurant" (read: upscale […]
Ma Peche, aka Momofuku Midtown
We'd follow chefs David Chang, Christina Tosi and the rest of the Momofuku crew just about anywhere… even, as it turns out, to the lobby of a Midtown hotel. Yes, as we're sure you've heard by now, after opening FOUR game-changers in the East Village over the past six years–in order of appearance: Momofukus Noodle […]
Casellula Cheese and Wine Cafe
At some point this holiday season–or any other season, really–you may find yourself, as we sometimes do, taking in some Times Square, Broadway theater, or Rockefeller Center-based entertainment. And when you do, you’ll need a place to eat. And if you’re in the mood to eat lots of good cheese dishes in NYC served […]
Fatty Crab Restaurant UWS
The Fatty Crab restaurant and the Upper West Side: it’s not an obvious fit. After all, Zak Pelaccio’s West Village Fatty Crab has been a scenester / foodie mainstay for a few years now, wowing the downtown crowd with its big, messy meals (don’t order the signature Chili Crab on a first date–it’s a smash […]
Golosi New York Gelato and Artisan Pizza in Midtown Manhattan
It’s sort of an odd spot, where the Roman-inspired Artisan Pizza and Gelato parlor set up shop last spring, on a non-descript block just south of Grand Central. Just the other day, we noticed that they opened a second location, at an equally unmemorable address in the east mid-30s. Sure, the lunchtime crowd is thick […]
Danny Meyer Shake Shack May Just Have the Best Burgers in Manhattan
Danny Meyer restaurants in New York have always been popular, but you have to wonder: did the monstrous success of the Shake Shack, with perhaps the best burger in New York City, take even restauranteur supreme by surprise? Sure, he's had plenty of big hits before: his first venture, the Union Square Cafe, helped redefine […]
Salumeria Rosi
For years the Upper West Side was something of a culinary wasteland, much to the dismay of the families and young singles who were flocking to the ever-growing number of luxury buildings in the area. That’s all changed, thanks to recent openings of the likes of Salumeria Rosi, a handsome, happening place specializing in Italian […]
