    Brushstroke

    30 Hudson St., Tribeca, NY

    We’ll admit it. Our preconceived notion of what Brushstroke was all about happened to be dead wrong. We knew it was a David Bouley restaurant, and therefore had visions of older couples half asleep at the table, eating sushi without saying a word to each other. In our heads this was going to be a [...]

  2. Char No. 4

    Char No. 4

    196 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY

    Char No. 4 is essentially our New York City dream house – a warm, inviting space with a wall of bourbon and a smoker. This is Southern influenced food in New York City, and it’s damn good.

  3. Georgia's East Side BBQ

    Georgia’s Eastside BBQ

    192 Orchard St., Lower East Side, NY

    A couple of years ago, when BBQ was all the rage in NYC, a tiny goldmine unceremoniously opened its doors on the Lower East Side. If you haven’t heard about Georgia’s already, it’s time to take notice.

    Blue Smoke

    116 E. 27th St, Murray Hill, NY

    A long time Infatuation favorite. This is some of the best BBQ you can find in New York City.

  5. Traif

    Traif

    229 S. 4th St., Brooklyn, NY

    Traif is awesome. It’s exactly the kind of restaurant we enjoy hanging out at, and would happily set up shop here permanently if we weren’t constantly running around trying new places. Infatuation Nation was in our ear about this one, and, as usual, the good people who email and tweet at us came through with [...]

  6. Prime Meats
    8.1

    Prime Meats

    465 Court St., Brooklyn, NY

    An Infatuation go-to from the proprietors of the Frankies restaurants (457 & 17). The menu is heavy and meat-centric, but most everything is incredible, especially the steaks and anything that sounds German, which is pretty much everything. Also, make sure come for brunch.

  7. Frankies 457
    8.1

    Frankies (457) Spuntino

    457 Court St., Brooklyn, NY

    Not that Frankies needs another glowing review, but this really is a fantastic restaurant if you can manage to get a table. It’s a tiny, cozy joint with simple Italian cooking, and the food is pretty damn great.

  8. Pok Pok Ny

    Pok Pok Ny

    127 Columbia St., Brooklyn, NY

    We don’t have a ton of Thai reviews on Immaculate Infatuation because, inevitably, there aren’t that many Thai spots worth dedicating a full review to. We all have our favorite work (Topaz), Chinatown (Pongsri) and Hell’s Kitchen (Wondee Siam) quick hitter/delivery spots, but if we closed our eyes and did a taste test, who can [...]

  9. Bark
    8.0

    Bark Hot Dogs

    474 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NY

    A high end, high quality hot dog operation in Park Slope. A genius concept really. Kids freak out over hot dogs, so why not set up shop in the most fertile section of Brooklyn?

  10. Earl's Beer & Cheese
    8.0

    Earl’s Beer & Cheese

    1259 Park Ave, East Harlem, NY

    Earl’s probably holds the record for smallest restaurant ever reviewed by Immaculate Infatuation. It’s literally the size of a college dorm room and actually has a similar vibe. Remember how much fun boozing in the dorms used to be? I miss listening to Feeder “High” and sitting on the floor playing caps. Damn were we [...]
