    8.3

    Locanda Verde

    377 Greenwich St., Tribeca, NY

    An Infatuation favorite, Locanda Verde is a very good restaurant, and it is so because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

  2. Tanoreen
    8.2

    Tanoreen

    7523 3rd Ave., Bay Ridge, NY

    Damn. People really love Tanoreen. And I mean loooove it. You know how I can tell? I actually know people that have been there, and it’s in Bay Ridge. Not too long ago, Kim Kardashian could have been handing out free lottery tickets and Chipwiches from a truck in Bay Ridge and I still probably [...]

  3. Traif
    8.2

    Traif

    229 S. 4th St., Brooklyn, NY

    Traif is awesome. It’s exactly the kind of restaurant we enjoy hanging out at, and would happily set up shop here permanently if we weren’t constantly running around trying new places. Infatuation Nation was in our ear about this one, and, as usual, the good people who email and tweet at us came through with [...]

  4. ABC Kitchen
    8.2

    ABC Kitchen

    35 East 18th Street, Flatiron, NY

    Jean-Georges kills it. We know this. The dude is one of the most inventive and creative chefs that’s ever lived. The locavore/farm to table movement that has recently taken hold of the New York dining scene is nothing new to J.G. – he’s been quietly playing that game for decades. That’s why it’s no surprise [...]

  7. Public
    8.1

    Public

    210 Elizabeth St., Nolita, NY

    Public is one of those joints that’s always there for you in a pinch. Centrally located and universally appealing, Public is to Nolita what The Smith is to the East Village, just with an older, more sophisticated crowd and higher price point. It’s not the hot spot it once was, but what restaurant almost ten [...]

  8. Jane
    8.0

    Jane

    100 West Houston, Greenwich Village, NY

    Head spinning after a long day of getting dragged around Soho with the female? Find salvation in a crisp Blue Point Toasted Lager draft and steak frites at Jane. It’ll help restore the equilibrium. The predecessor to fratty East Village favorite, The Smith, Jane is its slightly more sophisticated older sister.

  9. Brooklyn Bowl
    8.0

    Brooklyn Bowl

    61 Wythe Ave., Brooklyn, NY

    A music venue, bowling alley, bar, and restaurant all rolled into one. And they serve Blue Ribbon’s famous food. Like the ultimate birthday party/bar mitzvah/sweet sixteen spot for adult people.

    Royale

    157 Ave. C, East Village, NY

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