Flour + Water
2401 Harrison St., San Francisco, CAIf 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 [...]

Ippudo
65 4th Ave., East Village, NYIn my dreams there is a Japanese Willy Wonka, and his factory looks like one giant Ippudo. I want to be the fat little German kid that drowns in a river of pork broth and noodles. This updated review of Ippudo is not here to mark a change in our opinion of the place. I [...]

Neptune Oyster
63 Salem St., Boston, MAFor 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 [...]

Momofuku Noodle Bar
171 1st Ave., East Village, NYNot the cheapest bowl of noodles in New York, and maybe not even the best, but Momofuku Noodle Bar is an indisputable Infatuation favorite. Come for all the other amazing things this place has to offer, like fried chicken, pork buns, and a soft serve machine.

Pok Pok Wing
137 Rivington St, Lower East Side, NYBy now, you’ve probably heard us drone on and on about the lack of good wings in this great restaurant city. How are there so many chefs here, yet nobody get this it right? Wings might not be glamorous, but they’re as important to the fabric of East Coast living as pizza, bagels and the [...]

Upstate Beer & Oyster Bar
95 1st Ave., East Village, NYYou might be wondering how it’s possible to grade a world renowned restaurant like wd~50 on the same scale as we would a tiny oyster and beer bar in the East Village. It’s quite simple, actually. Regardless of the level of sophistication or style of cuisine at any given establishment, it all comes down to [...]

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 [...]

Shake Shack Times Square
693 8th Ave., Midtown, NY“Selling out” will always be a hotly debated topic. Growing up, my friends and I would spend hours arguing about whether or not our favorite bands were sellouts. Green Day, Rancid, Bad Religion, all bands that were supposed to be so punk, yet signed on with a major label at one point in their careers. [...]
