our suggestions

  1. Locanda Verde
    8.3

    Locanda Verde

    377 Greenwich St., Tribeca, NY

    An Infatuation favorite, Locanda Verde is a very good restaurant, and it is so because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

  2. Acme
    8.3

    Acme

    9 Great Jones St., NoHo, NY

    From a marketing standpoint, what Acme has been able to accomplish in the few short months since it has re-opened is nothing short of incredible. Some of the more “seasoned” of you might remember Acme from its previous life as a divey, down and dirty Cajun eatery and music venue. Back in the day, Acme [...]

  3. ABC Kitchen
    8.2

    ABC Kitchen

    35 East 18th Street, Flatiron, NY

    Jean-Georges kills it. We know this. The dude is one of the most inventive and creative chefs that’s ever lived. The locavore/farm to table movement that has recently taken hold of the New York dining scene is nothing new to J.G. – he’s been quietly playing that game for decades. That’s why it’s no surprise [...]

  4. The John Dory Oyster Bar
    8.1

    The John Dory Oyster Bar

    1196 Broadway, Flatiron, NY

    For the average restaurateur, the first incarnation of The John Dory would have been quite the accomplishment – tons of press coverage, a steady flow of customers…who cares if the reviews were mixed? But that wasn’t exactly what Ken Friedman and April Bloomfield had in mind. These two aren’t just after success; the name of [...]

  5. 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.

  6. Krieger
    8.0

    Frankies (570) Spuntino

    570 Hudson St., West Village, NY

    We’re huge fans of the Franks. Not just because they have sweet beards and excellent taste in classic rock, but because they were the gateway drug that helped us open our eyes and discover all that Brooklyn had to offer. I distinctly remember my first meal at Frankies 457 in Carroll Gardens back in the [...]

  7. The Fat Radish
    8.0

    The Fat Radish

    17 Orchard St., Chinatown, NY

    It’s pretty amazing when you think about it. We actually walked by The Fat Radish a few weeks ago. That’s how we found out about it. Why is that amazing? Because this new restaurant is on Orchard Street, just north of Canal – a dark, cold, sketchy looking block on the fringe of Chinatown that [...]

  8. Sorella
    8.0

    Sorella

    95 Allen St., Lower East Side, NY

    A sleek, modern wine bar with excellent food and great taste in music. The downside? It get’s crowded, the layout is strange and it’s pricey. Nonetheless, Sorella is worth a visit.

    314 W. 11th St., West Village, NY
