HB Burger
127 W 43rd St., Midtown, NYWith our ingrained feeling of revulsion towards anything Heartland related, you can imagine how shocked we were to find that this burger joint from the restaurant chain is home to a real quality burger.

J.G. Melon
1291 Third Avenue, Upper East Side, NYThere was a time when this was the only restaurant anywhere near the Upper East side that we would make a trip for. J.G. Melon’s is one of the better burgers in New York City, and it had it’s 30th anniversary long before Shake Shack and Five Guys started opening up locations around town like [...]

P.J. Clarke’s
915 3rd Ave., Midtown East, NYA few things prompted today’s review of P.J. Clarke’s. First of all, we’re fired up for the upcoming Season 4 premiere of Mad Men, and P.J. Clarke’s is one of the few places in town that still feels like a relic from that era. If you want to get your Roger Sterling on and hit [...]

Masak
432 East 13th Street, East Village, NYDespite that fact that Masak has been open directly across the street from my apartment for nearly a year, it’s taken me a while to look in its direction. Why? Guilt by association. It’s located next door to the god-awful Key Bar, a bar that keeps my entire building up at night. Anyone who lives [...]

Spitzer’s Corner
101 Rivington St., Lower East Side, NYOnce you get past the rigorous ID checking policy and the ridiculously wide bench seats that require a gymnastics routine to get in and out of…you are in for a treat. Spitzer’s is home to some of the best bar food in the city.

Social Eatz
232 E. 53rd St., Midtown East, NYAngelo Sosa is kind of a weird guy, so it should come as no surprise that Social Eatz, the new restaurant from the Top Chef (and Friday Fives alumn), is kind of strange as well. The name, the excessive use of a cartoon logo as table centerpiece – it all brings a bit of an [...]

Old Town Bar
45 E. 18th St., Gramercy, NYOver a century of Big Apple history lies within these walls, saturated into their prohibition-era marble bar and stained all over their vintage urinals and toilets. Old Town’s no frills formula has been working for generations. It’s all about the company you keep and beer you drink.

Kingswood
121 W. 10th St., West Village, NYWow. How did we not know that Kingswood is such a scene? There are so many single ladies circling that bar that it feels like a perfume-laden shark tank. There’s blood in the water and I’m scared.

Bill’s Bar & Burger Midtown
45 Rockefeller Plaza, Midtown, NYYou might remember our review of the original Bill’s Bar & Burger. Make special note of the part where we talk about how we’re glad this place isn’t in our neighborhood – what with our affinity for burgers and complete lack of self control. So much for that. Bill just opened a mega-restaurant 200 yards [...]

Walker’s
16 N Moore St., Tribeca, NYIn a Manhattan neighborhood that’s undergone a modern facelift over the last twenty years, it’s good to know not everything has changed. With the exception of a couple of new flat screens, Walker’s is pretty much exactly the same as your Pops left it back in the day when this tavern was the place to [...]
