Luke’s Lobster
93 E. 7th St., East Village, NYPear, Ed, Mary, meet Luke. He’s come to town to show you what’s up. Luke and his lobsters have arrived in New York City, and anyone in town with a lobster roll on the menu is officially on notice.

Terroir
413 E. 12th St, New York, NYHaving already professed our love for Terrior Tribeca, it should come as no suprise that we back the original in the East Village just as hard. We generally ignore wine bars. For the most part, wine bars are like sports bars; they’re all the same. Most lack two very important qualities – personality and good [...]

Bark Hot Dogs
474 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, NYA 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?

Luke’s Lobster Uptown
242 E. 81st St., Upper East Side, NYAs you might have recently read (everywhere), we are currently in the midst of a lobster roll boom. It’s like 1998 all over again but New York City is Silicon Valley and stupid websites are lobsters. We understand that some of this craze has to do with competitive lobster pricing and a relentlessly growing public [...]

2nd Ave Deli
162 E. 33rd St., Murray Hill, NYMy Grandma was not happy when the clock struck midnight and the original 2nd Ave Deli unceremoniously turned into a Chase bank.

Terroir Tribeca
24 Harrison St., Tribeca, NYWe’re not usually crazy about wine bars. There are a few on this site that we can get behind, but generally we stay away. Why? Well first of all, there aren’t many that serve good food, and it’s rare that we’re heading out to drink without some serious eating on the agenda as well. Second, [...]

Bobwhite Counter
94 Avenue C, East Village, NYWe were fully prepared to congratulate Mr. Bob White on cooking up the best fried chicken in the East Village until we read the bio on the Bobwhite Lunch and Supper Counter’s website. Apparently Bob had absolutely nothing to do with the aforementioned fried chicken, nor is he even a person. A “bobwhite” is actually [...]

Motorino
349 E 12th St., East Village, NYThe famous Brooklyn pizzeria comes to the East Village, and brings unbeatable margherita and signature soppressata pies with it.

Mable’s Smokehouse
44 Berry St., Williamsburg, NYIt didn’t take much time for us to realize that we were going to like Mable’s Smokehouse. Why? For starters, Frito pie. High fives if you know what that is. Chances are you spent some time as a kid hanging at a suburban Texas pool snack bar. I certainly ate my fair share of the [...]
