    Vinegar Hill House

    72 Hudson Ave., Brooklyn, NY

    One of our favorite restaurants that is 100% worth the trip to DUMBO.

  2. Marlow and Sons
    8.8

    Marlow & Sons

    81 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY

    A funky oyster bar that’s relatively small in size but big on personality. Also, the food is great. Mark this down as an Infatuation favorite.

  3. freemans
    8.8

    Freemans

    End of Freeman Alley, Lower East Side, NY

    It’s painful going back and reading a lot of the reviews I wrote two and a half years ago, especially this one. Freemans was not only the first review ever written for this website, but my first stab at a restaurant review period. There was nothing Immaculate about my writing skills back then. Although its [...]

  4. Commerce

    Commerce

    50 Commerce St., West Village, NY

    A less hip, West Village Freemans with excellent food.

  5. Peter Luger
    8.7

    Peter Luger Steak House

    178 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY

    Many of us tri-state area Jews have fond memories of summer camp. We’re shipped off into the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania to learn how to fend for ourselves. Being peer pressured into pulling pranks, lighting firecrackers, smoking weed and of course, going on bunk raids to steal all the girls bras and proudly display for [...]

  6. Son Of A Gun
    8.7

    Son Of A Gun

    8370 W. 3rd St, Los Angeles, CA

    Infatuation west coast may still be a ways away, but it’s time Son Of A Gun joined it’s older brother, Animal, as the only two LA restaurants with proper Immaculate reviews. We’ve been doing a lot of LA eating lately, and while there are definitely some good spots, many big buzz restaurants like A Frame [...]

  7. North Fork Table & Inn
    8.7

    North Fork Table & Inn

    57225 Main Road, Long Island, NY

    Every once in a while, we New Yorkers are overcome with the urge to get the eff outta dodge. The truth is, to operate on a high level here, you need to vacate the premises from time to time, and get out to a place where you own more than an inch of personal space. [...]

  8. Gwynnett St
    8.7

    Gwynnett St.

    312 Graham Ave., East Williamsburg, NY

    Two weeks ago, we had never heard of Gwynnett St. Now we’re ready to call it one of the most exciting new restaurants in NYC. It’s amazing what a difference a couple of days can make. Believe it or not, it wasn’t the recent New York Times two-star review that led us here. It was [...]

  9. BLT Prime
    8.6

    BLT Prime

    111 E 22nd St., Gramercy, NY

    This is not your grandfather’s steakhouse. The crowd is buzzing with return customers, most of them young, lower Manhattan types wearing jeans and button downs who prefer BLT Prime’s modern take on the steakhouse to the more traditional spots uptown.

  10. Blue Hill New York
    8.6

    Blue Hill New York

    75 Washington Pl., Greenwich Village, NY

    We held off on the Blue Hill New York review until we made our way up to the Stone Barns, and we’re glad we did. It’s a very good restaurant – one of the best in Manhattan. But to go to Blue Hill New York and say you’ve had the full Blue Hill experience would [...]
