  3. Clinton St. Baking Company
    7.8

    Clinton St. Baking Company

    4 Clinton Street, Lower East Side, NY

    Why is it that Clinton Street Baking Company resembles a crowded subway car on the weekends? Ridiculous pancakes, obviously. During brunch hours, it’s not uncommon for people to wait two hours for the pure, fluffy cakes of ecstasy that this place is known for. We won’t join them…but we can’t blame them either. The pancakes [...]

  4. Spitzer's
    7.4

    Spitzer’s Corner

    101 Rivington St., Lower East Side, NY

    Once you get past the rigorous ID checking policy and the ridiculously wide bench seats that require a gymnastics routine to get in and out of…you are in for a treat. Spitzer’s is home to some of the best bar food in the city.

  5. Bacaro
    7.3

    Bacaro

    136 Division St., Lower East Side, NY

    Though the food at Bacaro is pretty good, it’s the kind of place you come to for the atmosphere. Exposed brick, crystal chandeliers, one large white candle on each table…if you can actually manage to get a date to come to this part of Manhattan, at least know you’re probably going to close the deal.

  6. The Cardinal
    7.3

    The Cardinal

    234 E. 4th St., East Village, NY

    The South is hot right now. Whether it’s the endless string of comfort food restaurants opening around town, The Alabama Shakes, or Paula Deen’s diabetes – Southern things are the talk of the town. And that is why we were exactly zero percent surprised to learn that The Cardinal, a new East Village restaurant, is [...]

  7. Pianos
    7.1

    Pianos

    158 Ludlow St., Lower East Side, NY

    If you have ever been to Pianos to see a band in the back room, you probably didn’t expect that it’s the kind of place that would turn out some damn good bar food.

  8. Schillers Liquor Bar
    7.0

    Schiller’s Liquor Bar

    131 Rivington St, Lower East Side, NY

    This is the kind of place that you hit when you are looking to kick off a big night. A perfect spot to bring a date who likes to have a little fun, or a bunch of friends before you head out in the neighborhood and wait in line outside Fat Baby (you know who you are).

  9. Macondo
    6.9

    Macondo

    157 E. Houston St., Lower East Side, NY

    Good Latin food, minus a few stubmles. Stick to the tacos, the bocadillos, and pretty much anything with pork or beef and you’re in business.

  10. WD50
    6.9

    wd~50

    50 Clinton Street, Lower East Side, NY

    I’m just going to come right out and say it…we were not that impressed with wd~50. While it may be fun to eat an everything bagel that’s made of liquid nitrogen ice cream or an edible brown sugar egg shell, this just isn’t the kind of meal that satisfies us. It’s a place any dining [...]
