Got the ricotta, pesto and marinera slice… INSANE! I don’t even like pesto much. The garlic knows and garlic bread looks amazing as well. The food comes out quickly and they have soft drinks. It’s definitely a take out place, a counter - I’m not even sure if they have seats. I took it to go, and ate it at Donnybrook at the corner. The slice is $5 but for me it’s basically a meal.

We found this place by chance while visiting New York and it is such a gem. There were so many good flavors but I got salted caramel and chocolate. You can also add toppings to it. All the flavors were good! I could literally come here everyday if I lived here.

We went here for an early dinner after going to some art galleries in the Lower east side area. We ended up sitting inside and it was very pleasant and the food was delicious. They also have an outdoor seating area and people were watching FIFA on a large screen TV. We chatted with the owner Nicholas who is absolutely adorable.

Classic pizzas & slices, plus grilled sandwiches & pastas, turned out in small, no-frills quarters.
This was a good pizza spot... however, what I loved about it was the mozzarella sticks! They were so warm, crunchy, and absolutely delicious. The pizza was pretty good as well, but the mozzarella sticks really stole the show!

I went yesterday because I was curious about the place and wow! I absolutely love the texture of the gnocchi at this place because it's so soft and pillowy! I also appreciate how incredibly friendly and kind the employee, Mark Anthony, was while preparing my food! Definitely will come back next time I'm around the area!

Always wanted to visit this Mexican cafe. My bf and I both ordered their Roma latte special with oat milk, him iced and mine hot. The barista described it as hazelnut, but it’s thicker than a normal syrup. They were really good and highly recommend. We also shared a concha which was good.

I have seen this restaurant for some time but I never seem to be shopping at Essex Market after it opens. Luckily I mad it there yesterday and it was wonderful. There is only counter seating which at first seem surprisingly high till you get used to it. While you don’t get to watch the chef prepare your food when it’s presented there is a sense of wonder as several dishes are quite beautiful. We only preferred one appetizer and sushi but it was all delicious and I will be back to try more. Mu

Shotgun space with a crisp bar & big red booths in back for cocktails & fancy snacks.
I love coming here for cocktails. They make really good drinks. Today we had the water lily, which is a gin based drink. The bartender is nice and knowledgeable, the atmosphere is perfect for a date, not too loud. Great for getting to know someone. They do not sell food, but there are multiple spots in the area you can grab a bite before or after a drink. I highly recommend this bar.

I always pop in to this place for a very specific item which is guisao de berenjena Stewed Eggplant. which is my all time favorite I ever had in this place next to the chicken noodle soup which I would get even on a hot summer day.. I like to eat light vegetable based meals that are healthy and they have them, I would just like to see more consistency with the menu and the food quality sometimes on some days the food is fresher than others. Other than that it is a good Hole in the wall especiall

Had an amazing time at The VICTORIA in Harlem! Food, service, and scenery were top tier. Joshua gave us the best experience, and provided awesome suggestions. Family tried wings for appetizer. Fried Catfish, Duke burger, and spicy chicken sandwhich. Couldn't have asked for a better experience visiting Harlem. Must visit

Coffee was good On a previous visit we were greeted by the owner and he was very engaging. Gave candy to the kids. Without him the service was pleasant but not a true "experience" . Nice place with a clothing shop attached but not much seating. I don't remember any food or snack options but a full coffee bar. Gives a European vibe, which is nice

The Presa Ibérica is one of my favorite dishes - still dream about that verde sauce. The Casa Mussels are incredibly flavorful, and the cocktails are always spot on. Their take on a Piña Colada is next level and totally unlike anything I’ve had before - definitely give it a try! I also love how versatile this place is. I’ve gone for a light bite and a couple of drinks before going out, but it’s just as great for a full sit down dinner. Consistently fantastic!

Casual counter-serve chain for build-your-own sandwiches & salads, with health-conscious options.
The reason why I’m giving one star because I had placed an order and it was so cheap with their food. I would never order from this place ever again. I debt paid for this garbage and I’m highly upset

The simplicity of the menu was definitely the highlight of our experience. The steak frites were lovely, perhaps the steak was a little too salty but that's okay. The wine list is impressive, I recommend sharing a bottle. Oh, how can I forget, I loved doodling on the table. Some other patrons weren't making full use of the concept in my opinion. I would come here again. 10/10

Sushi on Jones holds a special memory for me, starting from my first visit to the al fresco Omakase bar in Bowery market to my recent return during the pandemic to the West Village location. On a weeknight, my friends and I were fortunate to secure six sushi counter seats at the LES location. The service we received was friendly and prompt. They offered two omakase menus, one with 12 pieces for $68 and another with 20 pieces for $120. We could switch to the 20-piece menu towards the end of the

12/08/2025 Stopped by at 8:30, it was empty. Literally a hole in the wall. The place doesn’t look too clean, and you pay for what you get. It’s mostly bread, but it at least doesn’t taste frozen. Very thin slice with mostly cheese. But the price is impossible to beat in the area. Guy at the counter seemed friendly. Slice was out within 2 minutes. Decent looking specials. Anyone crapping on this place in the reviews is full of it. It’s exactly what it looks like, and I will definitely be back fo

Mi amigos! This place is awesome. Went to La Contenta first but they were packed but luckily Vallarta had some spots at the bar and everything was incredible. Tacos pescado and Tacos carne asada! Woo. I preferred the carne asada but both made me feel like I was back in mexico. All the micheladas and cocktails we had were incredible. The happy hour too is off the chain. Great prices and great service. I can’t wait to go back and try more. The nachos were also muy rico. Gracias Vallarta! They a

Dear Sugar Sweet Sunshine, I’ve been a customer for many years at your original location. I went to Essex Market today to get my fav items: one Bob and chocolate chip pudding. Even though I live on the UWS now, I make sure to drop by yours to pickup my favs. However today at Essex, the Bob I got was day-old, stale and dry. Then I noticed there was green glitter. Does this mean this cupcake was sitting in the fridge since Tuesday, since St Patty’s Day was this past Tuesday? (Today is Friday). A

The best karaoke spot in NYC. We rented a private room and had the best time. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. At one point we thought we lost a phone, and they immediately helped us search for it until we found it. That level of care really stood out. The drinks were great too. Such a fun and well-managed place. Highly recommend for a night out with friends.

Chomps is literally the most adorable soup shop you can possibly imagine. It’s filled with whimsy, a selection of 4 soups daily, focaccia and corn bread. I tasted 3 soups and decided on mixing the coconut chickpea and the sweet potato soup. It was the perfect combo to dip the focaccia in. I’ll definitely be back to try more soup creations.

Food was pretty good. The experience is really similar to experiences in China. However, it is not cheap in my opinion as everything in the picture costed around $100 including tip. The area is a bit small with like only 4-5 tables and the tables are really only suitable for 4 people to eat at. Service was pretty good as the staff asked us about spice levels and stuff after seeing we brought kids along.

Very cute spot, I've been here for their amazing coffees during the day but didn't realize they turn into a wine/cocktail space at night! I dropped by during their “pu tao jiu” pop up and tried some incredible wine from modern chinese producers and will definitely be back.

The Essex Market is fun! Lots of little kiosks with items and flavors from all over the world! Days are starting to get chillier so I needed to try these two flavors before the weather really starts getting cold. Taro and matcha flavor- I truly just wanted to eat really colorful ice cream… The person working was very nice and patient with my questions because they have flavors I’ve never heard of before like pandan and durian. It was a nice experience and the price is exactly the same as other

my other favorite fujianese restaurant especially for their soups/broths, altho they can fall a little behind arping with their stir fries. super affordable prices friendly front desk lady, small family run shop. less spacious than arping but that can also mean it's less crowded sometimes. more likely to have a cigarette smoke smell

Just had the BBQ Chicken Salad at Sweetgreen - Lower East Side and wow, it was so delicious. I am usually a Cobb salad kind of girl and I love a good vinaigrette, so my standards are high. This absolutely delivered. The flavors were perfectly balanced, everything tasted fresh, and it was satisfying without feeling heavy. I have been to this location before and they are always friendly, efficient, and generous with portions. It is one of those spots you can count on when you want something heal

Amazing smoothies, you can customize it however you like. Would definitely come back, I loved that they let me add in gogi berries with coffee. Tasted absolutely delicious and healthy.


Followed them on IG & wanted sushi cake pops for my bday. They looked soo cute & were very tasty! They gave multiple designs and my flavors were red velvet & bday cake. Will order again, thanks!

Genuine hidden gem, small batches/somewhat limited selection but all pasteries were really good + very reasonable/low prices with most around $2-2.50! I have had worse asian pastries that were more expensive. Imo the quality are as good or better than expensive paris baguette/tous les jours, and absolutely better than most asian bakeries in the city. Also the middle aged unc was kind and patient when I took a while to think about what to get. Seriously try all the limited options, it is so rare

many places in the Lower East Side and Chinatown serve as destinations for food, yet this Cantonese bakery is more akin to a waypoint on your daily journeys...it is not the endpoint, nor the starting point, but someplace along the way that you'll visit time and time again. while it has changed locations, the menu of freshly baked items + some dim sum dishes are still a mix of savory and sweet baked options which makes for comforting calories whether your picking up a small bite or a bunch. it’s

Ice cream parlor chain known for its many ice cream flavors & sundaes, plus cakes, drinks & other treats.
Ordered a $42 birthday cake for pick up 48hrs ahead and they didn’t have it. they kept passing the buck onto the people who worked earlier why discussing amongst themselves what to do, the manager wasn’t even there and they had to call him and even then they didn’t know that to do, avoid this place if you don’t wanna be disappointed

We had the absolute best experience with our Chef Rossi! From our first tasting at Chef's LES kitchen (which was so much fun to meet other couples) to every visit throughout the year, she welcomed us into her kitchen. She worked within our budget and adjusted the menu multiple times to match our preferences. Chef also visited the venue to go over logistics in advance, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the wedding night, she and her team delivered! The food was plentiful, hot, and delicious

At Shibuya, they serve handcrafted sushi, fresh sashimi, and flavorful poke bowls made with high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques.

This was a delicious combination with the heat from the spicy kani, the crunch from the shrimp tempura, and the creamy av
