((4.75 stars)) Tera is a cool spot tucked into a deceptively large space. soothing ambiance from the stone, wood, and a snapshot of nature translated into its minimalist interior. the sometimes-cafe and full-time dinner/adult beverage waypoint of the LES. there's seating at the bar and front window as well as a limited number of seats in the private tatami room-- requiring table service and certain ordering prerequisites. i discovered this place when walking down Essex Street randlomly and spot

This bar/rooftop has an incredible view of the city from the Freedom Tower to most of lower Manhattan. The 18th floor lounge has floor to ceiling views while the rooftop is an amazing sunset viewing location! I celebrated a birthday here last week with ~30-40 people and it was a perfect fit on the rooftop. They provide catering options as well for private events.

The food was the real highlight. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You could tell the ingredients were fresh and thoughtfully prepared. My favorite was the main course, it was cooked perfectly and had a balance of flavors that made every bite better than the last.

As soon as I walked in, i got such a warm greeting and the service was insanely quick. The waiters are all attentive to whether you have trash around you or dishes needed to be picked up. Theres always a salad on the house and the dressing for the salad is really really good! I got to see the owner of the store (and she also owns quite a few other stores in chinatown) and she was so nice and kind towards all the customers and even had conversations with her regulars that she remembers. She was

Michaeli Bakery on Division St. in New York is one of my favorite spots to visit whenever I’m in the city coming from Florida! They have the most amazing rugelach, delicious and flaky croissants, and incredible pastries. Their challah bread is the best I’ve ever had; soft, fresh, and full of flavor. The quality of everything they bake is superb, and you can really taste the love they put into it. It’s also super close to my family’s house, so it’s always a must stop for me. Totally recommended!

Stopped into ViVi Bubble Tea for some boba and ended up trying their Blue Galaxy Refresher and popcorn chicken. The Blue Galaxy Refresher was really refreshing and had a frozen lemonade flavor that was perfect on a warm day. The Salt & Pepper Popcorn Chicken was also really good—crispy, flavorful, and a great snack to go with the drink. Glad I stopped in and would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

Being a Vietnamese who lives in a city where Vietnamese food is not great, I make it a point to seek Vietnamese restaurants on my travel. I am exceedingly pleased to find this joint in New York and visited twice in two days. Comfortable space, authentic taste, and friendly staff. Hủ tiếu Nam Vang and bánh canh cua are both excellent with full toppings. Hủ tiếu comes with thin slices of pork, liver and heart, two giant shrimps, and a quail egg, sprinkled with ground pork and chives. Bánh canh cua

Ordered the cheese smash burger with egg and bacon, almost the same price as the double cheese smash burger but without egg. Burger By Day is a highly-rated casual burger spot located at 242 Grand St in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The eatery is well-regarded for serving quality comfort food in a straightforward, counter-service setting. Menu Highlights: The menu focuses primarily on classic American smash-style burgers, crispy French fries, onion rings, and a selection of milkshakes. Operati

I usually make a point of visiting Artbean whenever I’m in that part of Chinatown. Every other time I’ve gotten my usual iced americano, and on a couple occasions, a bag of beans. Never had anything short of a perfect experience on those occasions. Wouldn’t say my most recent experience was BAD, but one thing kind of bothered me. I got the sesame latte, which tasted pretty good. However, I was really thrown off by the fact that they used pre made concentrate of some kind. That isn’t something I

Romantic, but lacking food quality for the price. The food is not bad, it’s just a little expensive for what it is. The happy hour M-F 4-6:30 is a good deal. The waitstaff is ok. The real win here is the vibe, it’s romantic. It’s too bad the food isn’t either cheap enough to make it worth it, or fancy enough to explain the prices.

If you’re walking through Chinatown and need that perfect refresh, this spot hits every time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gong Cha on Mott Street is hands down one of the best places in NYC to grab authentic bubble tea. Everything tastes incredibly fresh — you can tell the tea is brewed right and the boba has that perfect soft, chewy texture (never hard or mushy). In fact, they’re known for keeping things fresh, with tea and pearls prepared frequently throughout the day. O The menu is stacked with options, from cl

We stopped here after seeing it on social media and decided to check it out for ourselves. The place itself was quite busy, which already suggested it’s popular. We tried the cheese tarts, and while they were nicely presented and had a good texture — creamy filling with a soft, slightly crisp base — they didn’t quite stand out for us. They were enjoyable enough as a treat, but overall felt fairly average compared to similar desserts we’ve had elsewhere. It wasn’t disappointing, just a bit overhy

I’m really disappointed! I usually go to banh mi Saigon on Grand street but decided to give this place a try. Saw a few videos on Instagram of people saying their bread is freshly baked, light and crispy so I wanted to see if fresher bread was noticeably better. I ordered two of their #1 sandwiches which is their banh mi special but for “tomorrow” so they didn’t add the pickled veggies in. They only gave me ONE bag of pickled vegetables for two sandwiches. The sandwiches were SO skimpy on the

CHEAP EATS 🤠 A shabby joint that serves up decent dumplings for a fraction of the normal price. The reviews weren’t bad so I gave it a try. I passed by many times without a thought. The veggie fried dumplings were okay. So were the beef pancakes, I ate 2. The chives pancake was undercooked and the dough was still a bit raw. Don’t expect much, for under $10, it will satisfy your hunger. A good place to bring a date if you suspect she’s a gold digger. Bring her here a few times and I promise

Drinks were good! Matcha meadow was refreshing, but not spectacular. Nice place to catch up with a friend.

Nowadays, the options for Dominican food/adjacent cuisines in lower Manhattan aren’t as abundant as they used to be. Because of that, it’s really nice to have this place around. The lunch special was a great deal at $12, and the carne guisada was incredibly tender. Though I do wish I got a bit more of the stew and less of the [spanish] rice, which itself was still really good. The tostones were freshly made, as evidenced by the additional five minute wait time. WELL WORTH IT! Seriously some of

The cashier, Miracle, was so delightful. I got the Thai iced tea and a variety of buns and egg custard tarts. I'll definitely be back because of Miracle!

Family of five here dined in for $45 before flying back home to UK. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, however couple of the menu items could have been better with some sauce/gravy in it as they were a little bit dry. Portions were absolutely huge though and great value for money. Atmosphere and appearance inside reminds of a typical HK or Malaysian local no thrills cafe. We only visited this place once but wish we discovered it earlier. We had beef chow fun (10/10), sausage fried rice (10/10), scr

Semi-spacious Hong Kong-style eatery, with a provincial map of Hong Kong overlaid with celebrity caricatures lining one side wall, and framed photos on another. Ordered a standard dish of plain rice noodles pontooning a lake of soy sauce and another dish of dense fried mantou that at first glance resembles French Quarter beignets. Mantou is accompanied by a puddle of sweet yellowed sauce. These two were paired with a large cup of Hong Kong Milk Tea. Food and drink price was $12 for a meal total

Didn’t think savory crepes were my thing.. T-Swirl Crepe proved me WRONG 😮‍💨🤍 Stopped by for thee authentic Japanese-style crepes and tried both sweet and savory. The New York Strawberry Cheesecake crepe was my favorite strawberry cream cheese, strawberry gelato, fresh strawberry pieces, and the creamiest yogurt filling in the middle... actual perfection I also tried the BLT and Philly Cheesesteak crepes 🔥(shockingly good), plus their chocolate mille cake light, thin layers, not too sweet a

STELLAR CUTE LITTLE DESSERT SHOP that every asian girl ever dreams of. They have a great Vegan and Gluten Free Hanami Dango and a great whisked matcha. My mom got a matcha latte, and my sister got the matcha banana pudding, she claims it was super dank but alas, I do not eat dairy so I could not try it. They also have a huge shaved ice dessert that looks great to share as a group.

The waitress waiter was super kind and the food was really good. I enjoyed the beef stew noodles. I would definitely recommend you to come with a friend there is a lot of space to sit down and it’s not too crowded.

This was a really excellent spot, with fantastic service and a very clean, elegant vibe. Felt like a 30s Parisian bistro. The burger is very good, and while not in my top 5, it’s excellent value in the $30 deal with a cocktail and fries. The burgers are a bit rare which put my wife off slightly, but I thought they were cooked perfectly (maybe ask for less rare if that bothers you). The mustard was overpowering the poivre sauce which was disappointing, and maybe the bun could be slightly more rob

This was a very disappointing rice roll since the requested toppings were not cooked incorporated. We got an order of the roast pork and it was small cubes poured on top of the rice rolls. The rice rolls themselves were not silky, thicker than I had wanted. The portion of the meat to the small rice rolls was not worth $8. Even with the condiments offered on the table (soy sauce, hoisin, peanut sauce), it was still disappointing to eat. On the chalk board was advertised the #1 sponge cake for $1.

Came here twice for Knicks games. Great crowd and delicious food. The fish is incredibly fresh and delicious. Service could be a bit better. Feels like one guy is walking around but also knows everyone so stops to chat and it can take a minute to get attention. Nothing terrible but could probably use an extra person especially when the place is pretty full for events.

A low-key café in Chinatown. I grabbed an espresso macchiato for a quick caffeine boost, but the real standout was the tea selection. We shared a pot brewed with dates, longan, and goji berries - it was soothing, naturally sweet, and incredibly satisfying. The space is simple and spacious with plenty of tables and a bit of retro charm. A great place to work and unwind.

I ordered delivery from Papa John’s in Lower Manhattan, and it was fantastic! The pizza arrived hot and fresh, with the perfect crispy crust and generous toppings. The delivery was quick and the driver was friendly, making the whole experience smooth and hassle-free. The quality of the pizza was exactly what I hoped for—delicious and satisfying. I’ll definitely be ordering again! Highly recommend if you’re in the area and craving a great pizza delivered right to your door.

5 star for atmosphere, location is great feels very European and casual with bar seats on the street but sadly we got pretty screwed over by the waitress. She used my Amex to pay for another table’s bill. This is fully illegal. She then told us it was our job to sort this out with them when clearly the responsibility was hers. We had also been charged for four more drinks (from that table) and she then suggested we get three ‘free’ drinks. She served us watered down aperol spritz and then told u

I am obsessed with this spot. Be sure to order their premium roasted oolong milk tea. It is so smooth and clean tasting. You can make your order right when you walk in on the tablet to your right or take two steps further and order with the cashier. Did not have to wait long and was able to track my order on the screen over the cashier.

A very unique experience that left us with so many favorite bites. Squid preparation was novel and amazing. I will never forget the taste. Of tehshrimp soup. Taco was so lovely. The desert were amazing too. I highly recommend their Mexican pairing as well.

We went in after 11PM on a Friday night. We were greeted with a mild, pleasant tea. We had the vegetable dumplings and vegetable ramen (confirmed with server that broth is vegetarian as it was not specified on menu). It was very satisfying and we were unable to finish the ramen between two people. The noodles were nice and slightly chewy—not at all soggy. Heads up—they had a sign they are closed on Mondays but it is not reflected in this listing as of today. We went there on Monday and were dis

I spontaneously came here with friends and my boyfriend. We had an amazing experience. We tried the seafood sampler and it was absolutely delicious. I tried the Juicy Special sauce with mild spice, and it was so good. For anyone wondering, the Juicy Special is a little bit of all the sauces combined—trust me, it’s delicious ❤️ I 100% recommend this place. The service was great and the ambience was perfect—small, cozy, and ideal for enjoying a seafood boil. Definitely stop by if you’re nearby, o

The food here is incredible! I've been thinking about their marbled beef in chili oil broth for days after dining there. It can be a very lively night during fridays/sats. Karaoke fun amongst the customers, lovely staffs, chill atmosphere and a good place to drink, sing and eat.

I ordered an iced latte through the app, and when I arrived to pick it up I was told that they didn’t have what I ordered, but had made me a different drink instead. When I asked for a refund, I was told “We don’t give refunds on Sundays”. The employees made several comments under their breath, and I heard them use the words “you people” several times. I was finally able to get a cash refund, but was given the wrong amount. At that point, I was so frustrated that I walked out with the cash r

Got a large Jasmine lemon tea as recommended by the cashier, and an egg tart. Total was just under $11 and I would say it was worth it. The egg tart is "custardy" in texture and not to sweet. I'm glad I don't live close to this place because I would eat a thousand of them.

Sun Hong Wong is one of the older Cantonese restaurants in Chinatown and the kind of place built around large family-style meals rather than individual plates. The dining room is straightforward and traditional, attracting a mix of longtime neighborhood regulars, families, and larger groups looking for classic Cantonese cooking without the higher prices found at newer restaurants. The menu covers a wide range of Cantonese staples, with dishes like Peking-style pork chops, steamed chicken, lobst

I recommend the egg fried rice and the crab noodles—the fried rice was the favorite at our table and honestly one of the best I’ve had. Super fluffy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The crab noodles were rich and buttery, coated in a delicious sauce that’s savory with a touch of sweetness—it almost eats like an Italian pasta rather than traditional Chinese noodles. Overall, I’d describe this spot as a modern, fusion-style Chinese restaurant rather than strictly authentic. The flavors are great,

We had so much fun at this little hole in the wall karaoke bar! It is just your typical small no nonsense dive bar, but the atmosphere was great. Everybody sang along with most of the songs and the bartenders were all great, especially Tim who was super sweet! I ordered dumplings and they were delicious and affordable. There was a 20 minimum and $1 per song for the karaoke and u just have to pay attention when is your turn they just pass the mic around the bar so you don't stand on a stage. I

New Karaoke place, opened Fall 2025! All the rooms are so modern, love the multiple TVs in the rooms & having an option to use Youtube video. Whatever you pay for room, you get in food credit. For example $100 room per hour = $100 of food and/or drink credit for each hour you stay. Of course priced are hiked up but it’s included in the fee so it’s a great deal! Keep in mind that food can take 20 minutes to make. The Xiao Long Bao, Fries & Fried Shrimp were really good. You can generally just

These are some of our favorite shrimp wontons. The broth is also very tasty. I'm not sure if the pics are clear enough but we had beef and beef tendons paired with egg noodles. Curry balls for a nice Appetizer and some blanched veggies. Super nice, friendly and attentive waitresses. Place is small and can get very busy.

My friends and I stumbled across this bar last Saturday when we visited nyc. The vibe seemed good and we were having a good time singing, everything was great until we met the bartenders. The guy in charge of the karaoke was very rude, would only accept bills in cash to take song requests and kept asking people to tip him more to move your song up the queue. We didn’t have cash and asked if we could tip more in the round of shots we were getting to request a song. He said no and told us to get c

((4.75 stars)) Elbow Bread is a small bakery planted at the intersection of Ludlow, Division, and Canal Streets. cozy brightly-lit space--no seats inside but there are small tables set up outside for those who want to place to perch, but most customers grab-and-go or grab-and-eat-on-the-go. there are a variety of baked eats here from various sour dough loaves to sweeter options like cookies and kolaches to savory options like bialys and schmaltz scallion knots as well as other comfort eats. if

Easily the best chinese food I've had in NYC! Food was amazing, super affordable (spent $10 for chicken, rice, and a drink), and portions were absolutely packed into the container. Food comes out hot, fast and extremely fresh, and the space is fairly full but kitchen is clean and well-organized. Only 3-4 tables in the restaurant, but grabbing one is usually not too hard, and there's a beautiful park with lots of benches only a block away. Also the owner was such a nice guy, he came out to talk t

Regina’s Grocery 🥪 @reginasgrocery Uncle Jimmy – $22.37 Prosciutto, hot soppressata, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, arugula, EVOO & balsamic on a classic hero. Flavor-wise, really good—balanced, fresh, and filling. I love the balsamic kick! Bread was slightly tough which took away a bit, but still a solid sandwich overall.

Delicious Bakery items and Drinks! My sister and I bought this soft spongy cake, a sesame ball and Lemon Iced Tea and each were beautiful.

This place is a super chill spot with great coffee from a local roaster. We came on a quiet day, and the server was friendly and helpful. We didn’t get any food, but it looks good, and we heard it’s also from local bakeries. The music level was also low and chill, which was nice, and WiFi was good. Definitely worth a visit. Edit: the bathroom is very clean too!

Came here on a whim during a Friday night and what a delight! We loved their menu and the party tray option… a decent amount of sushi for a good price! Good quality sushi too. Nice ratio of fish to rice. The mochi dessert was a yummy way to finish! The servers were very nice and the ambiance of the restaurant was great. Love this place and definitely recommend!

Homemade and crafted with care these Tamales are delicious!! The owner Jose took great care of us giving us recommendations and explaining the in-house process of grinding the corn and making their own molé! We had the Molé Poblano with Chicken and the Salsa Verde with Chicken. The pink Lemonade is also homemade and our perfection. Go and enjoy! You will not regret it.

I'll definitely come back again when I am in this part of town. The service was super quick. The 2 employees are just there to work and get you in and out. Only about 3-4 people can fit inside the restaurant to order. There are 2 wooden tables outside of the restaurant where you can eat. The food is definitely authentic Chinese food. I thought that this place was a bakery because of its name, but no it's not. There is buffet style food where you can pick out what you want. You pick 3 items over
