    Death & Co

    433 E. 6th Street, East Village, NY

    You know how it feels like some establishments were built precisely for you? That’s how we feel about Death & Co. Any place that makes room on their menu to quote Hunter S. Thompson – “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity, but they’ve always worked for me.” – is on our wavelength. [...]

    Georgia’s Eastside BBQ

    192 Orchard St., Lower East Side, NY

    A couple of years ago, when BBQ was all the rage in NYC, a tiny goldmine unceremoniously opened its doors on the Lower East Side. If you haven’t heard about Georgia’s already, it’s time to take notice.

  5. Dirt Candy

    Dirt Candy

    430 E. 9th Street, East Village, NY

    Although we’re as far from vegetarian as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, we’ve got ultimate respect for chefs who have the ability to impress without the use of meat. Especially when the the food is as satisfying as what Amanda Cohen has got going on at Dirt Candy. The creativity displayed here is through the roof, and [...]

  6. 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 [...]

  7. Katz's Deli
    8.2

    Katz’s Deli

    205 E. Houston Street, Lower East Side, NY

    As the lower east side slowly morphs into Seaside Heights, there’s one thing that stands pat – for now at least. Katz’s Deli isn’t just a glutenous Classic NYC Establishment, it’s a landmark that deserves government funding at this point. Rumors of its potential “the rent is too damn high” demise return every year, but, [...]

  8. Porsena
    8.2

    Porsena

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

    It’s true. We can be tough to please. Case in point, Porchetta, 2009. As rave reviews flew, and religious texts were ameneded to include word of Sara Jenkins’ roasted pork sandwich, we went public with our disappointment. We just couldn’t get on board with all those five star write ups and online Yelp freak outs. [...]

    Café Cortadito

    210 E. 3rd St, East Village, NY

  10. 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.
