  1. Babbo
    8.9

    Babbo

    110 Waverly Place, Greenwich Village, NY

    Of all the Batali restaurants, Babbo is the one most aligned with the Infatuation ideals for good eating. Del Posto, Lupa, Otto and Eataly have a tendency to be filled with faux-New Yorkers, which Stang covered in depth in the Lupa review. Babbo (and Casa Mono) are where the real motherf*ckers are at. When we [...]

    Mas (farmhouse)

    39 Downing St., West Village, NY

    One of our go-to destinations for Fine Dining in NYC. Mas is incredible.

  3. Joe's Pizza
    8.5

    Joe’s Pizza

    7 Carmine St., West Village, NY

    Move over people, the champ is here. Joe’s is the best slice in Manhattan. It’s been like that forever and will remain that way for eternity. If you can make a case for any other slice on the island of Manhattan, please let us know.

  4. Annisa
    8.3

    Annisa

    13 Barrow Street, West Village, NY

    Annisa isn’t your typical Infatuation style restaurant. It’s a little stuffy. The crowd is on the older side and the atmosphere is not exactly exciting. Also, there is way too much same side seating going on – couples on the same side of the table is always questionable in our book. Doesn’t matter. These standard [...]

  5. Burger & Barrel
    8.2

    Burger & Barrel

    25 W. Houston Street, SoHo, NY

    You know what happens when a chef at a popular seafood restaurant wins Food & Wine Festival’s Burger Bash? Naturally, said chef opens his own burger joint. Burger & Barrel is the new burger establishment from Lure Fishbar chef Josh Capon. Capon took the burger crown in 2009 and has since been serving it on [...]

  6. Tomoe
    8.1

    Tomoe

    172 Thompson St., Greenwich Village, NY

    Waiting in a line outside of any restaurant seems a bit silly to us, but Tomoe is arguably one of the best sushi restaurants in the city, as you will see by those patiently standing single file out front on most nights. And it certainly isn’t the atmosphere that’s got people queued up on Thompson Street. The place is a dump.

  7. Cabrito

    Cabrito

    50 Carmine St., West Village, NY

    Some of the better Mexican available downtown, with good drinks and even better happy hour specials.

  8. Pearl Oyster Bar
    8.0

    Pearl Oyster Bar

    18 Cornelia St., Greenwich Village, NY

    Lobster rolls are a hot button topic in this town. Bring up the subject of whose is best in a large group and you’re likely to stir up either a passionate discourse or a knife fight, depending on what kind of crowd you run with. We’re healing up nicely, thanks. We certainly have an opinion [...]

  9. Mercat
    7.9

    Mercat

    45 Bond St., NoHo, NY

    You won’t catch the Infatuation hanging out here on a regular basis, but every once in a while it’s fun to kick back, drink in hand, and watch the ridiculous action unfold around you. Their selection of exclusively Spanish wines is just as attractive as the pretty people drinking them and – shocker special – the food is good too.

  10. Keste
    7.9

    Keste Pizza & Vino

    271 Bleecker St., Greenwich Village, NY

    As anticipated, Kesté serves up some of the best pizza in town.
