Ippudo
65 4th Ave., East Village, NYIn my dreams there is a Japanese Willy Wonka, and his factory looks like one giant Ippudo. I want to be the fat little German kid that drowns in a river of pork broth and noodles. This updated review of Ippudo is not here to mark a change in our opinion of the place. I [...]

Dirt Candy
430 E. 9th Street, East Village, NYAlthough 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.

Il Buco
47 Bond St., NoHo, NYEven some of the hottest restaurants have empty tables on “off” nights, but the fact that Il Buco is routinely slammed is a testament to the quality of the food and the unique character of the space. You won’t find another place in town quite like this.

Apiary
60 3rd Avenue, East Village, NYThe menu is heavy and meat-centric, but most everything is incredible, especially the steaks and anything that sounds German, which is pretty much everything. Apiary is not only a solid local East Village option, it’s a restaurant that should be on everyone’s radar.

Porsena
21 E. 7th St., East Village, NYIt’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. [...]
