  1. Corner Bistro

    Corner Bistro

    331 W 4th St., West Village, NY

    There’s something about pounding cheap beers and burgers here that makes you feel like anything is possible. When we finally decided it was go time for Immaculate Infatuation, we were sitting in Corner Bistro. A great burger, and a classic establishment.

  2. Raou'ls

    Raoul’s

    180 Prince St., SoHo, NY

    Raoul’s is the sh*t. That’s really the only proper way to put it. If you can’t have a good time here, you probably can’t have a good time anywhere. This boisterous French bistro has been a Soho institution since the 70’s.

    Rubirosa

    235 Mulberry St., Nolita, NY

    Lately we’ve been hearing a whole lot of buzz about how Nolita is officially the new “it” neighborhood in New York for restaurants. I suppose we’re even guilty of helping create some of it. Also, note that I just used the term “it” neighborhood, which means we have officially jumped the shark. You might as [...]

  4. Jeffrey's Grocery

    Jeffrey’s Grocery

    172 Waverly Place, West Village, NY

    You wanna know makes discovering our new favorite oyster bar taste even sweeter? The fact that it also serves an excellent cookie. Booya. Wheelhouse. What more can you want out of life besides oysters and a chocolate chip cookie? Jeffrey’s Grocery is exactly the kind of establishment we live for here at The Infatuation. Think [...]

  5. Char No. 4
    8.4

    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.

  6. Blue Smoke

    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.

  7. The National
    8.3

    The National

    557 Lexington Ave., Midtown, NY

    Restaurants 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 [...]

  8. Franny's
    8.3

    Franny’s

    295 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

    We finally made our way out to Franny’s, partly because we had heard so much about it from awesome people (Mike D), and partly because we need a new favorite spot out here now that we’re afraid to go to Lucali. What we found was one crowded, but amazing restaurant that is as good or [...]

  9. Potager

    Potager

    1109 Odgen St., Denver, CO

    Two 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 [...]

  10. Frankies 17
    8.2

    Frankies (17) Spuntino

    17 Clinton St., Lower East Side, NY

    A near identical clone of the Brooklyn favorite, Frankies 457. This one takes credit cards.
