Westville Chelsea
246 W. 18th St., Chelsea, NYOur love for Westville is well documented. It’s a rare breed of restaurant in this town – a well priced, one stop shop that’s equally reliable for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. It’s healthy when you want it to be, but isn’t afraid to get and down and dirty either. It’s also one of the [...]

Diner
85 Broadway, Brooklyn, NYBelieve it or not, people used to live in Williamsburg because it was cheaper than Manhattan, not because it was cool. Before the hipster invasion began in the late 90′s, the South side belonged to the Hasidim and Peter Luger. Sure, there were always artists, musicians and .com hopefuls living there, but it was nothing [...]

Mile End
97a Hoyt St., Boerum Hill, NYWelcome to the greatest Jewish thing to come out of Canada since Rick Moranis. Mile End is a Jewish delicatessen in Boerum Hill named for and modeled after the gentrified Montreal neighborhood by the same name, which has a strong Jewish population and apparently some killer Jewish food.

Westville
210 W. 10th St., West Village, NYWhile many New Yorkers rely on coffee and Pret A Manger to get them through the day, I run on a steady diet of cereal, water and Westville. Considering the consistent flow of Westville in my bloodstream, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t complete the trilogy of Westville reviews. The magic that is the [...]

The General Greene
229 Dekalb Ave., Brooklyn, NYWe don’t get to Fort Greene much, so before digging any deeper into local favorites like No. 7, Chez Oscar and the newly opened annex of Walter Foods, we first needed to check out this neighborhood’s crown jewel, The General Greene. If this is any indication of the “general” level of deliciousness Fort Greene has [...]

Elephant & Castle
68 Greenwich Ave., West Village, NYIf there was ever a restaurant to visit just for just one menu item, this is it. Elephant & Castle is a well known West Village Chronic Brunch establishment, with a unique menu and possibly the single greatest brunch invention of all time: Eggs’n Apples Benedict on French Toast With Maple Syrup. That’s right. French [...]

The Smile
26 Bond St., NoHo, NYA relatively new “cafe and mixed use concept store” on Bond St. What does that mean? Well, it’s a rustic space that serves food and also sells housewares and nick-nacks to the coolest people you have ever seen. Essentially, it’s hipster Cracker Barrel.

Clinton St. Baking Company
4 Clinton Street, Lower East Side, NYWhy is it that Clinton Street Baking Company resembles a crowded subway car on the weekends? Ridiculous pancakes, obviously. During brunch hours, it’s not uncommon for people to wait two hours for the pure, fluffy cakes of ecstasy that this place is known for. We won’t join them…but we can’t blame them either. The pancakes [...]
