Restaurants In Upper East Side

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, [...]

Le Colonial
149 E. 57th St., Midtown East, NYLe Colonial is legit. Yes it’s expensive, and yes it feels a little stuffy. But the food is delicious, (mostly) authentic, and the service is great. So now that you’ve heard about it here, go eat at Le Colonial and help it get some cool back.

Il Vagabondo
351 E 62nd St., Upper East Side, NYAside from having a bocce court in the dining room, Il Vagabondo isn’t much different than any other old school, NYC Italian restaurant. We have so many places like this in town that it’s hardly worth writing them up.

Via Quadronno
25 E. 73rd St., Upper East Side, NYWe often get asked about where to eat before a show at Central Park’s Summerstage, and for the most part, Via Quadronno is not the place. Most of you know better than to spend fifteen bucks on a sandwich. Also, the service here sucks, and it’s usually packed to the gills with a mix of [...]

Brgr
1026 3rd Ave., Upper East Side, NYBrgr has opened the doors to its second location, now on the Upper East Side. What the hell is Brgr and where did the vowels go? Good question. Brgr is all about healthy hamburgers. Everything about this place is designed to pummel that message into your head. According to the giant wall of information, these [...]

Dos Toros Uptown
1111 Lexington Ave., Upper East Side, NYCan somebody please explain Dos Toros to us? We’ve given this place so many chances, and yet we still cannot for the life of us understand what the big deal is. I have been hawking this new Upper East Side location since the day it opened (last week), waiting and praying that these tacos and [...]

Cascabel Taqueria
1538 2nd Ave., Upper East Side, NYNot all that long ago, we were showering Cascabel Taqueria with love like we wanted to make it our girlfriend. We were, at one point, completely obsessed with this quirky little taco shop. But what was once an oasis of awesome on the Upper East Side has now officially become just another place on Second [...]

Accademia Di Vino
1081 3rd Avenue, Upper East Side, NYHere’s all you need to know about Accademia Di Vino. It’s not even one of the better insanely overpriced Italian restaurants in a neighborhood full of nothing but insanely overpriced Italian restaurants.
