Maison Premiere
298 Bedford Avenue, Brooklyn, NYEither we’ve aged into silver haired, 30-something hipsters overnight or Williamsburg is just more on our wavelength lately than Manhattan. As you’re well aware, we love drinking almost as much as eating and right now, there’s no better place to find our two beloved pastimes working together in sweet harmony than The Burg. Marlow & [...]

Upstate Beer & Oyster Bar
95 1st Ave., East Village, NYYou might be wondering how it’s possible to grade a world renowned restaurant like wd~50 on the same scale as we would a tiny oyster and beer bar in the East Village.

Bring up the subject of whose is best in a large group and you’re likely to stir up either a passionate discourse or a knife fight, depending on what kind of crowd you run with. We’re healing up nicely, thanks. We certainly have an opinion [...]

Flex Mussels
174 E 82nd St., Upper East Side, NYFlex is a restaurant import from Prince Edward Island, which immediately gives it some credibility – “P.E.I” as they call it, is the source of some of the best mussels the world has to offer.

Catch
21 9th Ave, Meatpacking District, NYYou already know that we stay away from Meatpacking restaurant-club hybrids. Our idea of a good time does not include rubbing elbows with D-list celebs at Spice Market. Nor does it involve poppin’ bottles at Provocateur. But somehow, we ended up at Catch the other night, the new three story fish-topia opened by the Abe [...]

The Mermaid Inn
96 Second Ave., East Village, NYA staple in the Infatuation playbook since back in 2003 when we were standing in line outside of terrible Manhattan night clubs and listening to nothing but Brand New and 50 Cent. The fish here is always fresh and fantastic, and the lobster roll is very solid.
