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.

Momofuku Noodle Bar
171 1st Ave., East Village, NYNot the cheapest bowl of noodles in New York, and maybe not even the best, but Momofuku Noodle Bar is an indisputable Infatuation favorite. Come for all the other amazing things this place has to offer, like fried chicken, pork buns, and a soft serve machine.

Má Pêche
15 West 56th Street, Midtown, NYOK, we’ll admit it. We were a little hard on Má Pêche the first time around. At first, it was a let down. David Chang opening up a Midtown restaurant in our daytime backyard was a little too exciting. When it didn’t live up to our sky high expectations immediately, we were quick to judge. [...]

Talde
369 Seventh Ave., Park Slope, NYIt’s a funny thing, this Top Chef business. This insanely popular show just finished it’s ninth season on the air, and has undoubtedly played a role in our country’s constantly growing appetite for food television programming. It’s made stars out of Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons, gave us the Indian Queen of Food and Sexy, [...]

Wong
7 Cornelia St., Greenwich Village, NYWe’re not big fans of the word “Pan-Asian.” I suppose it evokes visions of a Saturday Night meal at a PF Chang’s somewhere in Northern Virginia. Even worse is when the word “fusion” is added and used to describe a restaurant’s cuisine – a sure fire indication that the place not only sucks, but probably [...]

Fatty Crab
643 Hudson St., West Village, NYFatty Crab is not for everyone. The food is Malaysian, and the flavors aggressive. However, if that sounds like your style, you are in serious business.

Red Farm
529 Hudson St., West Village, NYBrought to you by the same folks responsible for Noho’s Chinatown Brasserie, Red Farm is the West Village’s newest (and only) dim sum hot spot. How much you will like this place will depend entirely on what you think a dim sum dining experience should be. Red Farm is not the place for the person [...]

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 [...]

Kuma Inn
113 Ludlow Street, Lower East Side, NYYou know that friend of yours that thinks Kuma Inn is the greatest place ever? Right, that’s the friend you should never take restaurant advice from. It’s funny, for being such a mediocre restaurant, Kuma Inn really puts a spell on some people. It’s got to be because this is one of the only reasonable [...]

Bia Garden
154 Orchard Street, Lower East Side, NYWhen our office has a show on the LES, everyone always wants to hit Georgia’s for some BBQ. For the sake of this website, I deny the people what they really want so I can selfishly try something new that we haven’t already written about. This plan has a tendency to backfire when the new [...]
