  1. Freemans
    9.0

    Freemans

    Freeman Alley, New York, NY

    Our obsession with Freemans is truly an Immaculate Infatuation. This is a classic, and it’s worth the inevitably long waits – if even just for the famous artichoke dip.

    Momofuku Ko

    163 1st Ave., East Village, NY

    It’s been a few years since Momofuku Ko opened, and now that the restaurant world is done freaking out over it, we figured it was time to check in on the place and see how it’s holding up. Well, that and it took us this long to finally get a reservation. By our calculations, that [...]

    Freemans

    End of Freeman Alley, Lower East Side, NY

    It’s painful going back and reading a lot of the reviews I wrote two and a half years ago, especially this one. Freemans was not only the first review ever written for this website, but my first stab at a restaurant review period. There was nothing Immaculate about my writing skills back then. Although its [...]

  4. MAHARLIKA
    8.6

    Maharlika

    111 1st Ave., East Village, NY

    What started as a once a week pop-up brunch has now turned into a Filipino empire in the making. The crew of friends behind this new restaurant called Maharlika felt that Filipino food was under represented in NYC. So, without much in the way of formal training or restaurant experience, they set out to showcase [...]

    Pok Pok Wing

    137 Rivington St, Lower East Side, NY

    By now, you’ve probably heard us drone on and on about the lack of good wings in this great restaurant city. How are there so many chefs here, yet nobody get this it right? Wings might not be glamorous, but they’re as important to the fabric of East Coast living as pizza, bagels and the [...]

  8. Hurricane + Upstate 021
    8.5

    Upstate Beer & Oyster Bar

    95 1st Ave., East Village, NY

    You might be wondering how it’s possible to grade a world renowned restaurant like wd~50 on the same scale as we would a tiny oyster and beer bar in the East Village. It’s quite simple, actually. Regardless of the level of sophistication or style of cuisine at any given establishment, it all comes down to [...]

    Prima

    58 E. 1st St, East Village, NY

    We’ve always been fans of The Summit Bar, however we never reviewed it because the food menu is tiny and the door/bouncer/crowd scenario most nights is unbearable. Thankfully, the kings of cocktail decided it was time to add something a little more gastronomic to their resume. We love a pleasant surprise and that’s exactly what [...]

  10. Max

    Max

    51 Ave. B, East Village, NY

    For the money, Max is the best Italian in all of New York City.
