  1. Post Office
    9.0

    Post Office

    188 Havemeyer St., Williamsburg, NY

    Yea that’s right. A 9.0 rating. For a little whiskey bar in Williamsburg. A little whiskey bar with a tiny, amateur looking kitchen that very well might be operating on nothing but Easy Bake Ovens. But those adorable little ovens are cranking out mind blowingly good food, and you need to know it. A quick [...]

  2. Allswell

    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 [...]

  3. Marlow and Sons

    Marlow & Sons

    81 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY

    A funky oyster bar that’s relatively small in size but big on personality. Also, the food is great. Mark this down as an Infatuation favorite.

    Kin Shop

    469 6th Ave., West Village, NY

    For some reason, I have always associated Thai food in New York City with faceless BYOB establishments that cater mostly to neighborhood takeout and post-grad dinners out on the cheap. That’s probably my fault, for having yet to make it out to some of the legendary places like Sripraphai, and also for living in Murray [...]

  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 [...]

  7. Fette Sau
    8.7

    Fette Sau

    354 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn, NY

    Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new favorite BBQ spot. Situated inside what used to be an old auto body shop, this gutted garage is raging every night of the week.

  8. MAHARLIKA
    8.6

    Maharlika

    111 1st Ave., East Village, NY

    What started as a once a week pop-up brunch has now turned into a Filipino empire in the making. The crew of friends behind this new restaurant called Maharlika felt that Filipino food was under represented in NYC. So, without much in the way of formal training or restaurant experience, they set out to showcase [...]

  9. Westville East
    8.5

    Westville East

    173 Ave. A, East Village, NY

    Westville East is the ultimate utility spot that delivers the goods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and does it in affordable fashion.

  10. Hurricane + Upstate 021
    8.5

    Upstate Beer & Oyster Bar

    95 1st Ave., East Village, NY

    You 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 [...]
