Honestly, this place is such an absolute hidden gem right on 1st Ave! The energy inside is always buzzing with great vibes, and the food completely hits the mark every single time you’re craving those authentic, punchy Thai flavors. The Crab Fried Rice is honestly unforgettable—it's packed with incredibly generous chunks of real crab meat and perfectly seasoned without being oily at all. Another massive standout is the KraPow over rice, which has the absolute perfect balance of sweet, savory, a

Bustling kosher cafe for bagels sandwiches with many cream cheeses & meats, plus soups & salads.
Tried the signature sandwich from Essa Bagel NYC honestly, mixed feelings. It’s a pretty big sandwich and definitely filling, but for $19, I expected something more memorable. The bagel itself is solid and the ingredients are fresh, but taste-wise it’s nothing special. Not bad by any means, just not worth the price in my opinion. If you’re hungry and want a big portion, it’ll do the job but for the hype and cost, I was expecting better

Sourdough pizzas, handmade pastas, and a spritz bar in a spacious and bright eatery with outdoor seating.
Rosemary’s East is hands-down my go-to lunch spot, and I’ve been here at least 10 times, which should tell you everything. The aesthetics are beautiful, the service is consistently fantastic, and the food is always phenomenal. Truly a 10/10 experience every single visit. Their lunch special is perfect for me: a fresh, flavorful salad paired with one of their delicious pastas. It’s the ideal portion, incredibly satisfying, and always hits the spot. I’ve never had a bad meal here. One small thing

Casual chain serving cooked-to-order Korean fried chicken, plus other traditional eats.
We stopped at this Bon Chon location on 1st Avenue between 21/22 one day as we were going home from shopping in Chinatown. We ordered the mixed medium size chicken combo with coleslaw and split it. It included 6wings and 2 drumsticks. We selected the soy garlic flavor. It was really delicious. Nice and crunchy. My only complaint was that the side of coleslaw was tiny. It should be twice as big. All in all, it was delicious and well worth the money.

Japanese sushi specialist with a sleek interior & a 2-for-1 drink deal available every evening.
Note- Rating is for the area and for the good lunch special I have been to this popular Japanese sushi place a handful of times for lunch during my work break. The first time, I had an easy and quick experience as it wasn't overly crowded, but the second time, it took a bit too long. The staff was still friendly both times and apologized for how long it took, which was much appreciated, with me also getting my check the second time while eating. Compared to the other local, presumably Chinese-o

The coffee was good, but the bathroom conditions were unacceptable. There was feces on the toilet, which is extremely unsanitary. For a corporate coffee shop, this is not okay. Restrooms should be checked and cleaned regularly to maintain basic hygiene standards. This really needs attention.

I ate at Go Chin Khao Man Gai and really enjoyed the experience. The food felt very authentic, simple, honest, and full of flavor. There isn’t a large menu, which actually adds to the charm and makes it feel focused and true to what they do best. 🫠 I ordered the fried chicken, and it was delicious: well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and very satisfying. Everything felt straightforward and comforting, without unnecessary extras. It’s also worth noting that there is seating inside, it’s not just t

Great bagel spot! This place is a hidden gem. Staff is friendly and the wait is always reasonable, which is a major plus compared to other bagel places in the area. I’m so happy they have vegan options. Definitely the best tofu cream cheese I’ve ever had!

Upbeat bake shop turning out artisan French breads & pastries, from brioche to quiche.
I love this spot. The coffee & baked goods are both great, my favorite is the cheese bread. There’s always a line showing just how good it is and everyone behind the counter is kind & fast in getting to everyone ordering. The only thing I wish is that there was more seating!

Objectively cute place to eat froyo with the park fountain right there. However, this is market-rate pricing in NYC for below market-rate quality. Like it’s fine frozen yogurt!! But it’s not greattt or anything. The toppings exist but just candy/chocolate - no fruit. 4 flavors at a time. They had a vegan one! / sorbet.

I've noticed that I strongly prefer baked empanadas over fried empanadas. Baked empanadas feel so much lighter, fluffier, and enjoyable to me over the fried counterpart. Also each of the empanadas were at least $5 each so be mindful of that To start, the guava and cheese empanada was by far the best one and my favorite. It's slightly sweet and the cheese is firm, almost like the cheese on a room temp pizza - my favorite! For an empanada - 9/10, would get this consistently if I'm getting empanad

Bubble tea cafe serving an extensive range of specialty teas, plus rice balls, dumplings & desserts.
I’ve had my fair share of greattt moge teas. But this was not my fav. The boba were slightly undercooked, so they were still kinda hard. There also wasn’t a description of the taro milk tea online, so the red bean was a surprise. We ordered on Fantuan and it was ready super fast.

This starbucks is amazing the atmosphere is great and the service is also fantastic, the only thing about starbucks that i am conflicted about is the fact that you need to purchase an item to get a cup of water with ice, in which the water is tap water. You might as well charge to get a water cup because of the prices of items at Starbucks. Im not mad, just disappointed.

Hey y’all, I was craving Chopt, and all the other locations were closed by 8pm on Thursday, but this one was open until 9pm! The atmosphere was super chill, the music was great, and the staff were incredibly friendly, especially Ms. Mignel. Her positive attitude really stood out. Staff like that are the heart of any place, and it definitely made the experience better.🙌 They also have plenty of self-order kiosks, which is perfect when you’re not in the mood to socialize or just feeling a littl

Nice apartment for freshman’s! Rooms are relatively spacious and superb facilities like, common pantry on each suites, common laundry area, common seating area for each floor and lot of other things! Rooms are recently renovated and very well layout. All the rooms are having enough (proper) natural light coming in.

J's Kitchen doesn't just serve food; they serve comfort in a bowl. Between the authentic taste of their masterfully prepared dishes, the gorgeous ambience, and the stellar service, it is a flawless dining experience. Whether you are craving a crispy, comforting katsudon or a steaming bowl of curry udon, J’s Kitchen is a definitive five-star establishment. I will absolutely be returning to work my way through the rest of the menu!

This is my first time visiting this branch. My food was good, as always. It's just that instead of packing my quesadilla in a quesadilla container, they put it in a bowl. It's a clean and spacious place. There are plenty of tables for seating, and it has air conditioning.

Typical good old Jewish Manhattan bagel place, of the awesome sort that's now almost extinct. Nice atmosphere. Celebrates regular New Yorkers rather than fashion trends. Personal. Loving. Struggling since the ER around the corner closed, but not sacrificing quality. People running this place make me feel I am home. Clean. I love sitting at the window.

It’s easily one of the best Israeli meals I've had in NYC — also doesn’t hurt it’s much better value than the overhyped "big name" spots. The back garden greenhouse is a dream. Even in this freezing winter, it’s filled with natural light and stays incredibly warm. Perfect for a cozy brunch. Chicken Shawarma: Could eat this everyday! Perfectly charred and tender chicken served over a bed of creamy hummus and toasted pine nuts Arayes: The pita is grilled to a perfect crunch while the meat insid

SUCH a hidden gem!! and amazing delicious affordable plates. Super low key and down to earth spot but the food is incredible. Also $12 can get you a loaded peruvian chicken plate… can’t find this type of deal anywhere else in manhattan. Recommend their peruvian chicken, their la positiva sandwich and their juices are all made fresh!
