Momofuku Ssäm Bar
207 2nd Ave., East Village, NYBelieve the hype. This is an all time Infatuation favorite. Be prepared to eat an unhealthy amount of pork and be very, very happy about it.

Takashi
456 Hudson Street, West Village, NYThe West Village can be pretty predictable these days. The majority of the restaurants in this area will either make you a) pissed that you weren’t born to live a life of leisure, or b) jealous that your neighborhood isn’t full of sickeningly cute French cafes. Don’t get us wrong, we love spending our mornings [...]

Danji
346 W. 52 St., Hell's Kitchen, NYHell’s Kitchen is hot right now. It’s no longer home only to endless Thai joints and 9th Avenue establishments that glow neon colors in the dark. There’s a very legitimate restaurant scene developing here. As we’ve ventured further into Authentic Ethnic Eats lately, it’s become clear that we’re real down with Korean food. I know, [...]

Dokebi
199 Grand St., Brooklyn, NYOne of the most popular questions we get from people is where exactly our restaurant intel comes from.

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 [...]

Bon Chon
957 2nd Ave., Midtown East, NYWelcome to the world of KFC – Korean Fried Chicken. We’ve done a lot of writing lately about our quest for the perfect Buffalo wing, but it would be careless of us to leave the Korean variety out of the discussion. Especially when you consider that there’s gonna be more Bon Chons than Popeye’s in [...]

Village Yokocho
8 Stuyvesant St., East Village, NYWe have been on one hell of an Asian food bender lately, and we’re loving every minute of it. Next stop? Village Yokocho. We were first tipped off to Village Yokocho in Sam Talbot’s Friday Fives a few months back. The guy was a little reluctant to give up his go-to Date Night spot, which [...]

Gahm Mi Oak
43 W. 32nd St., Midtown, NYK-Town, we’re trying. We really are. Just call me Kim Jong Steinthal at this point. Sadly, we just haven’t found our sweet spot in this ‘hood yet. We recently checked in with our Twitter familia to find a place to eat before a sorry Knicks playoff loss, and the unanimous choice was Gahm Mi Oak. [...]
