Can I Try?

La Churreria 284 Mulberry St. [Mulberry btw Houston & Prince] New York, NY http://lachurrerianyc.com/ Should you try? Worth a try if you’re somewhat nearby. Brought to you by the owner of Socarrat Paella Bar, La Churreria opened in December 2011.  This traditional Spanish cafe specializes in churros so naturally, I went with their sandwiches.  They […]

Tomoe Sushi 172 Thompson St [Thompson btw Bleecker & Houston] New York, NY http://tomoesushi.com/ Should you try? Yes, for large pieces of fresh sushi at a reasonable price. Tomoe Sushi has that local sushi joint feel, but being in Greenwich Village it’s extremely popular and busy.  I had mentioned in my post for En Japanese Brasserie […]

Maoz 38 Union Square East [Park/Union Sq E btw 16th & 17th] Also locations in Times Square, Greenwich Village, Columbia University, Upper West Side, and Theatre District New York, NY http://www.maozusa.com/restaurants/locations/nyc Should you try? Yes, good falafel and do-it-yourself toppings. The falafel at Maoz is good, but the main appeal is the buffet line of […]

HIT Deli & Korean Food 150 W28th St. [28th btw 6th & 7th; enter office building and walk past the security guard to find the deli] New York, NY http://hitdeli.tumblr.com/ Should you try? Definitely.  Better than comparable places in Ktown. I’d consider HIT a hole-in-a-wall, as it’s not well-known and you have to enter an office […]

No. 7 Sub 1188 Broadway [29th & Broadway; Ace Hotel] New York, NY http://www.no7sub.com/ Should you try? Definitely, and get the Zucchini Parm. No. 7 Sub is an awesome sub shop in the Ace Hotel (29th and Broadway). The staff is very friendly and although the line may be out the door sometimes, they’re usually […]

Minetta Tavern 113 MacDougal St. [MacDougal & Minetta Ln.] New York, NY http://minettatavernny.com/ Should you try? Yes, there’s a reason why it’s hard to get a dinner reservation before 10pm. I finally made it to Minetta Tavern and although I’ve heard tales of the Roasted Bone Marrow and Dry Aged Côte de Boeuf, I had to go […]

Oficina Latina 24 Prince St. [Prince btw Elizabeth & Mott] New York, NY http://oficinalatinanyc.com/ Should you try? This is one you can probably pass on. I came because I had a deal ($45 for two tapas and two entrees) and even though the portions are large, they offer a lot of different tapas, and some of […]

TOSS ~ The Original Sandwich Shoppe 58A Greenwich Ave. [Greenwich & Perry] New York, NY http://deli-nyc.com/ Should you try? Yes, and get the roasted turkey sandwich (at least for the first time). I went here for the first time recently, but definitely coming back. It’s a great place to grab a quick sandwich, and the […]

Taïm 222 Waverly Pl. [Waverly btw W 11th & Perry; Off 7th Ave] Food Truck – Location Varies New York, NY http://www.taimfalafel.com/ Should you try? Yes, my favorite falafel spot. There are a ton of options for falafel in the city, but Taïm is my favorite falafel place in the city.  Moshe’s is good and cheap, […]

Club A Steakhouse 240 E 58th St. [58th btw 2nd & 3rd] New York, NY http://www.clubasteak.com/index.php Should you try? Yes, and if you can make it for restaurant week even better. With a plethora of steakhouses in the city, this family establishment may not be as well known, but it should be.  The food is […]

Salt & Fat 41-16 Queens Blvd Sunnyside, NY http://saltandfatny.com/index.html Post Author: My cousin Judy, who happens to be 8 months pregnant.  You can follow her adventures through pregnancy at http://baby-wu.com/ Should you try? Yes definitely! It’s worth the 20 mins or so train ride from the city on the 7 train. I’ve found out about this […]

Café Medina 9 E 17th St. [17th btw 5th and Broadway] New York, NY http://www.cafemedina.com/ Should you try? Good food all around, but definitely try the soup. Café  Medina offers pastries, soups, salads, sandwiches and more with a Middle Eastern touch.  It’s a narrow place, however, and when you walk in you’ll be bombarded with people […]

NYChiliFest 2012 (1/29/12) Chelsea Market New York, NY http://chilifest2012.com/ Should you try? Yes, go in 2013. The NYChiliFest was the ultimate samplefest, with 22 different restaurants or food trucks out to make the best chili imaginable.  The 2012 competition is now over, but mark it on your calender for next year.  The event was well […]
