Restaurants In Upper East Side

Sushi of Gari
402 E. 78th St., Upper East Side, NYSushi of Gari is the best sushi on the Upper East Side. Hands down. It’s not even up for discussion. You know why Sushi Seki is so good? Because the guy who started it learned from Gari himself, Masatoshi “Gari” Sugio. As discussed in the review of Gari’s 46th St. location, it’s all about the [...]

Hospoda
321 E. 73rd St., Upper East Side, NYIf there’s such a thing as “fine dining for dudes”, we’ve just discovered it. Welcome to Hospoda, an upscale Czech restaurant that’s just as much a beer hall as it is a culinary destination. There aren’t many places in this city where a guy can order a light beer with his three course meal and [...]

Luke’s Lobster Uptown
242 E. 81st St., Upper East Side, NYAs you might have recently read (everywhere), we are currently in the midst of a lobster roll boom. It’s like 1998 all over again but New York City is Silicon Valley and stupid websites are lobsters. We understand that some of this craze has to do with competitive lobster pricing and a relentlessly growing public [...]

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.

Sfoglia
1402 Lexington Ave., Upper East Side, NYAn import from Nantucket, Sfoglia is one of the few Upper East Side joints that, if transported to downtown, wouldn’t feel out of place.

Sushi Seki
1143 First Ave., Upper East Side, NYTwo things have changed since this website started taking over our lives: we sleep less, and we eat more. You would think that the body’s natural response to such developments would be to force rest and fasting. Instead, quite the opposite has happened. We’ve begun to take a lot of pleasure in a little thing [...]

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 [...]

Amali
115 E. 60th St., Upper East Side, NYYou know what never happens on the Upper East Side? Aside from women aging gracefully? Walking into a restaurant that’s playing Lykke Li. We’re calling in an early review today (Amali has been open just about two weeks as we write this), but we felt it necessary as we are bullish on this place. You’ve [...]

Bella Blu
967 Lexington Ave., Upper East Side, NYWhy are we writing about a seemingly unremarkable, non-descript, uptown Italian trattoria? Because you might get hungry next time you’re in this part of town shopping for jewelry and tiny dogs. We’ve been to Bella Blu a bunch of times, mostly when in need of something worth eating near Central Park. Walking by it, you [...]

Jones Wood Foundry
401 E 76th Street, Upper East Side, NYWalking into a bar on the Upper East Side (slash Canada) that serves craft beers instead of Miller Lite and plays Blur’s “Coffee & TV” instead of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” is quite refreshing. The UES isn’t exactly the West Village, so when a cool looking gastropub opens in this hood with an intriguing menu, [...]
