  1. Dovetail
    8.5

    Dovetail

    103 W 77th St., Upper West Side, NY

    It’s rare that we actually venture up to the Upper West Side to eat out. Those treks north are usually reserved for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, chocolate chip cookies (we love Levain Bakery and Jacques Torres), and takeout essentials from Artie’s Delicatessen or Fairway. Thanks to Dovetail, there’s now another reason to make the trip.

  2. Annisa
    8.3

    Annisa

    13 Barrow Street, West Village, NY

    Annisa 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 [...]

  3. Il Mulino

    Il Mulino

    86 W 3rd St., Greenwich Village, NY

    An alpha-dog hot spot that most people around town will passionately defend as the best of it’s kind, even though the service is cold and the food heavy handed and extravagant.

  4. The Modern
    7.8

    The Modern

    9 W. 53rd St., Midtown, NY

    The best way for us to give you the lowdown on this place is to explain that it’s really two different experiences: the bar, and the dining room. One is a three course, prixe fixe fine dining experience, the other sleek, more relaxed, often features some Action at the Bar. If you’re going, go big and eat in the dining room.

  5. Del Posto
    7.5

    Del Posto

    85 10th Ave., Chelsea, NY

    Mario Batali restaurants have a reputation of being tourist traps and magnets for the bridge and tunnel crowd. There’s always a lot of action, and you never know what kind of spectacle might unfold on any given night. Example? How about when Sinbad rolled in during one of our visits with a crew of five [...]

  6. Oceana
    7.4

    Oceana

    1221 6th Ave., Midtown, NY

    They say the Ocean occupies 71% of our planet’s surface, right? Well, it feels like Oceana occupies 71% of 49th street. It’s a welcome addition to Midtown’s clusterf*ck of expansive dining halls, and is especially enjoyable if you’re not the one paying.
