  2. L'Artusi
    9.0

    L’Artusi

    228 W 10th St., West Village, NY

    L’Artusi can officially go on our list of favorite restaurants in this town. A few things stand out as qualifications for such an honor – outstanding and consistent food, great service, good music, and some ancillary entertainment that comes in the form of great people watching.

  3. Allswell
    9.0

    Allswell

    124 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY

    Sometimes when we head for Brooklyn to check out a restaurant that the locals are all fired up about, we end up disappointed. You quarantined Brooklynites can have a tendency to over-hype your beloved neighborhood staples – staples that sometimes wouldn’t cut it when put up against the big boys in the West Village or [...]

  4. Perla
    8.9

    Perla

    24 Minetta Ln., Greenwich Village, NY

    All too often, we find ourselves playing the role of hype-squashers, injecting some much needed reality into a situation when people are falling over themselves because a celebrity chef just opened a restaurant with a master pizzaiolo and an indoor water slide. We don’t particularly like being the ones to point out flaws amidst adoring [...]

  5. Flour + Water
    8.8

    Flour + Water

    2401 Harrison St., San Francisco, CA

    If you recently downloaded our new iPhone app, you should probably fire that baby up. Even though it’s 3,000 miles away, Flour + Water needs to immediately be added to the top of your Hit List. I recently detoured into San Francisco on my way up to a weekend of wine drunk in Napa just [...]

    39 Downing St., West Village, NY

    Vinegar Hill House

    72 Hudson Ave., Brooklyn, NY

    One of our favorite restaurants that is 100% worth the trip to DUMBO.

  8. freemans
    8.8

    Freemans

    End of Freeman Alley, Lower East Side, NY

    It’s painful going back and reading a lot of the reviews I wrote two and a half years ago, especially this one. Freemans was not only the first review ever written for this website, but my first stab at a restaurant review period. There was nothing Immaculate about my writing skills back then. Although its [...]

    8.8

    Neptune Oyster

    63 Salem St., Boston, MA

    For a moment, we are going to put aside our natural, New York bred distaste for all things Boston, and give some love to one of our favorite restaurants in the country. But only for a moment, because it will take every ounce of my being to keep from talking sh*t about Tom Brady at [...]

  10. Maialino
    8.7

    Maialino

    2 Lexington Ave., Gramercy, NY

    About a year and a half ago, we wrote up a less than glowing review of Danny Meyer’s then brand new Roman trattoria, Maialino. We had high expectations due to Meyer’s flawless record, but flaws were found, and verdict was levied accordingly. Steinthal actually compared the place to every great band’s worst album. Ouch. But [...]
