    Death & Co

    433 E. 6th Street, East Village, NY

    You know how it feels like some establishments were built precisely for you? That’s how we feel about Death & Co. Any place that makes room on their menu to quote Hunter S. Thompson – “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity, but they’ve always worked for me.” – is on our wavelength. [...]

  3. Dirt Candy

    Dirt Candy

    430 E. 9th Street, East Village, NY

    Although we’re as far from vegetarian as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, we’ve got ultimate respect for chefs who have the ability to impress without the use of meat. Especially when the the food is as satisfying as what Amanda Cohen has got going on at Dirt Candy. The creativity displayed here is through the roof, and [...]

  4. Apiary
    8.2

    Apiary

    60 3rd Avenue, East Village, NY

    The menu is heavy and meat-centric, but most everything is incredible, especially the steaks and anything that sounds German, which is pretty much everything. Apiary is not only a solid local East Village option, it’s a restaurant that should be on everyone’s radar.

  5. Porsena
    8.2

    Porsena

    21 E. 7th St., East Village, NY

    It’s true. We can be tough to please. Case in point, Porchetta, 2009. As rave reviews flew, and religious texts were ameneded to include word of Sara Jenkins’ roasted pork sandwich, we went public with our disappointment. We just couldn’t get on board with all those five star write ups and online Yelp freak outs. [...]

  7. Caracas Arepa Bar
    8.1

    Caracas Arepa Bar

    91 E. 7th St., East Village, NY

    Caracas takes pride in serving the most authentic Venezuelan food in the city. Who are we to disagree? This is by far and away the best Venezuelan restaurant we’ve been to. It’s also the only Venezuelan place we’ve been to.

  8. Kanoyama
    8.1

    Kanoyama

    175 2nd Ave., East Village, NY

    A diamond in the rough sushi find. This is some of the best fish you’ll find for the money in Manhattan.

  9. Jewel Bako
    8.1

    Jewel Bako

    239 E. 5th St., East Village, NY

    Jewel Bako is one of those restaurants that we’ve been hearing about for a while now, mostly from East Village residents who never leave the neighborhood for anything. Ever. You have friends like that. People who act like Third Avenue is the Korean DMZ, and would sooner commit ritual suicide before getting in a cab [...]

    Royale

    157 Ave. C, East Village, NY

    One of the best burgers in Manhattan…and you might never know it.
