Extra Virgin
259 W. 4th St. #1, West Village, NY 10014Extra Virgin is an Immaculate Infatuation approved establishment for two main reasons. First, this place kills when it comes to fish. Second, it’s the world’s greatest date spot.

Five Points
31 Great Jones St., NoHo, NY 10012One of the most reliable and universally likeable restaurants we’ve been to, coming through in the clutch time after time.

Salinas
136 9th Ave., Chelsea, NY 10011Chelsea is a challenging neighborhood when it comes to eating. We’re usually only here before an event at Madison Square Garden or because a large group of females we know felt like eating tapas – and this is where large groups of females go to eat tapas. Why on earth are there so many Spanish [...]

Annisa
13 Barrow Street, West Village, NY 10014Annisa isn’t your typical Infatuation style restaurant. It’s a little stuffy. The crowd is on the older side and the atmosphere is not exactly exciting. Also, there is way too much same side seating going on – couples on the same side of the table is always questionable in our book. Doesn’t matter. These standard [...]

The National
557 Lexington Ave., Midtown, NY 10022Restaurants get after us online all the time. They try and lure us in for a review by telling us how great they are over and over again, most with wreckless disregard and absolutely zero tact. Restaurants that agressively hustle to get people like us in the door to write about them generally suck. That’s [...]

Da Umberto
107 W. 17th St., Chelsea, NY 10011Old school Italian restaurants. This city is full of them, and everyone has a favorite. Except us, that is. For whatever reason, this sort of dining has never appealed to us for much more than something to do with your third cousins when they come to visit from wherever third cousins come from. I guess [...]

Potager
1109 Odgen St., Denver, CO 80218Two things. First of all, it’s pronounced “puh ta zhay”, you hillbilly. Second, this place is in Denver, which is why you’ve never heard of it. It’s also a restaurant that we love a lot, and it deserves some attention. Potager opened its doors in Denver in 1997, which is pretty much exactly the same [...]

Perilla
9 Jones St., Greenwich Village, NY 10014For almost two years, we’ve been talking about the Thai restaurant Kin Shop so much that we’re essentially taking credit for it now. The conversation almost always goes something like this: Friend: “Dude, you were right, Kin Shop is incredible.” Me: “Yeah, I know. Thanks.” Thanks? Even though we’d love to feel even slightly responsible [...]

Calliope
84 E. 4th St., East Village, NY 10003When was the last time you dined at a French style bistro in NYC? Been a minute, right? And no, Pastis and Balthazar don’t really count. Well, it’s time to mix it up a bit and visit Calliope, a new restaurant in the East Village that’s about as close to a true Parisian bistro in [...]

Cookshop
156 10th Ave., Chelsea, NY 10011There aren’t many restaurants in New York City that you can count on for an excellent meal regardless of circumstance, and this one is certainly among the few. Breakfast, brunch, and dinner are all amazing, and that Cookshop needs to be on your list.
