    Bill’s Bar & Burger

    22 9th Ave., Meatpacking District, NY

    An excellent burger joint reminiscent of the great middle-of-nowhere dives around the country…right in the middle of the Meat Packing District.

  2. Westville Chelsea
    8.2

    Westville Chelsea

    246 W. 18th St., Chelsea, NY

    Our love for Westville is well documented. It’s a rare breed of restaurant in this town – a well priced, one stop shop that’s equally reliable for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. It’s healthy when you want it to be, but isn’t afraid to get and down and dirty either. It’s also one of the [...]

  3. Caracas Arepa Bar
    8.1

    Caracas Arepa Bar

    91 E. 7th St., East Village, NY

    Caracas takes pride in serving the most authentic Venezuelan food in the city. Who are we to disagree? This is by far and away the best Venezuelan restaurant we’ve been to. It’s also the only Venezuelan place we’ve been to.

  4. 6320467659_67b6f3a5e0_b
    8.1

    Parm

    248 Mulberry St., Nolita, NY

    We already know that the fellas behind Torrisi run our kind of restaurant and serve our kind of food, so it’s not big surprise that we love Parm, their new Italian sandwich shop. Simple Italian food is a lost art in NYC. You might find chicken parmesan, baked ziti and mozzarella sticks at your sh*tty [...]

  5. Kanoyama
    8.1

    Kanoyama

    175 2nd Ave., East Village, NY

    A diamond in the rough sushi find. This is some of the best fish you’ll find for the money in Manhattan.

  6. The Meatball Shop
    8.1

    The Meatball Shop

    84 Stanton Street, Lower East Side, NY

    A restaurant on the Lower East Side operating with the sole purpose of turning out ridiculously good meatballs and presenting you a few options in which to consume them.

  7. Luke's Lobster
    8.0

    Luke’s Lobster

    93 E. 7th St., East Village, NY

    Pear, 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.

  8. 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?

  9. Luke's Lobster Uptown
    8.0

    Luke’s Lobster Uptown

    242 E. 81st St., Upper East Side, NY

    As 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 [...]

  10. 2nd Ave Deli
    8.0

    2nd Ave Deli

    162 E. 33rd St., Murray Hill, NY

    My Grandma was not happy when the clock struck midnight and the original 2nd Ave Deli unceremoniously turned into a Chase bank. She’d been a regular on 2nd Ave and 10th street since her NYU days in the 1940′s, and felt tradition deserved more respect than that. She wasn’t the only one channeling nostalgic rage; [...]
