Bell Book & Candle
141 W. 10th St, West Village, NY 10014There’s a reason why the only thing you’ve heard about Bell Book & Candle is that they grow a bunch of vegetables on their West Village roof. Think about it though, do you really want to eat “fresh produce” from the city of Manhattan? This whole farm to table thing has gone too far. We’re [...]

Brindle Room
277 E. 10th Street, East Village, NY 10009Considering there’s very little ground left un-Infatuated in the East Village, we were quite intrigued by a recent flurry of Twitter recommendations coming in on behalf of Brindle Room. Our people must be smoking the good mongo because there’s no way our trusted Twitter crew would back this place. The dinner we had here recently [...]

Sauce
78-84 Rivington St, Lower East Side, NY 10002We’ve always been fans of the Frank empire. Frank, Supper and Lil’ Frankies are all East Village institutions that we hold in very high regard. So we were naturally Tim Tebow-style excited about their latest venture, Sauce. Unfortunately, this one is a Sanchez style pick six (which, ladies, is football talk for no good). After [...]

Tartinery
209 Mulberry St., Nolita, NY 10012There’s a pretty good chance that, at some point, you will find yourself walking down Mulberry Street, looking for a dinnertime consolation prize because Parm and Rubirosa are on a two hour wait. When that happens, you’ll likely pass by Tartinery, a shiny looking new restaurant and wine bar just down the block from those [...]

Pulqueria
11 Doyers St., Chinatown, NY 10038You know what, maybe it’s not fair for us to judge a place like Pulqueria. I’m 100% sure that we are not the clientele this place is after. Neither of us are 22-year-old models, nor are we the people trying to have sex with them. On the other hand, it’s supposed to be a restaurant, [...]

Niko
170 Mercer St., SoHo, NY 10012You know what sucks? Taking one of your artists to a restaurant that turns out to be awful. I made the call on Niko and wound up looking like a chump. Allegedly I’m supposed to know something about restaurants in this city too. All Neon Hitch wanted was some delicious sushi and a fruity vodka [...]

Fatty ‘Cue
91 S. 6th St., Brooklyn, NY 11211Fatty ‘Cue is apparently out to bring “a little Southeast Asian fermented funkiness” to Williamsburg. Something is funky alright…my stomach and their math. Everything in this place is overpriced and underwhelming.

White Slab Palace
77 Delancey St., New York, NY 10002If White Slab stuck purely to booze, the Infatuation would have no beef here. Unfortunately, they also serve food.

Left Bank
117 Perry St., West Village, NY 10014I feel kind of bad about what’s about to unfold right here. Do the good people of Left Bank, who were both friendly and accommodating, realize that the restaurant they work for is awful? We’ve got to believe it’s like working on the set of the new Charlie’s Angels. Deep down, everyone must have known [...]

El Camion
194 Ave. A, East Village, NY 10009Enough already with the new Mexican joints in the East Village. We’re over it, and currently dealing with a serious oversaturation of garbage. If our favorite can’t surive, (Mercaito Cantina RIP), we have a hard time believing newcomers like Diablo Royal and El Camion will live long, healthy lives. Hell, even La Lucha, as good [...]
