When I first took a bite of the Brooklyn Goddess Burger all I could think about was the word frustration... How could I have lived in Brooklyn for all this time and have not yet come into this phenomenally wonderfully restaurant! So frustrated that it took me so long to find them! The second word that came to mind was intention. The burger that I had was so fantastically crafted and the way it came together it was so balanced and nuanced I just really just don't have any words to describe it.

Felt like I’ve been looking for this place all my life. We had biscuit breakfast sandwiches and the disco roasted potatoes. Service was quick and the food was fantastic. “No laptops, no work” is a fantastic vibe for a more social environment for food and camaraderie. Loved this place and will definitely return.

Welcome to Belly Cake Pancake House in Bayside, Queens, our new breakfast home! We ordered the Original Stack, Banana Brûlée pancakes (MY FAVORITE), BEC Brioche, a latte, and hot chocolate, and everything DELIVERED! The pancakes were rich, sweet, and incredibly flavorful. The BEC Brioche was sweet and savory. You can tell they take pride in creative flavor combinations while still keeping that classic fluffy texture. I definitely will return.

Casual eatery serving Latin dishes and cocktails in a quaint space with exposed-brick walls.
Never in my life have I given such patronage to another restaurant. This place is amazing. Who knew nachos could transcend chip and topping???? Honestly, it feels like Michaelangelo resurrected and his creation of Adam was the nachos at cascalote? Deep fry a tortilla, add on some aguacate, pollo, y salsa and call it a dinner well spent. Maduros for dessert and margaritas/mojitos until you can’t see straight. I love this restaurant and the community behind it. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.

We always enjoy dining at DIG for its healthy and delicious meals, and this location is no exception. The restaurant is clean, well-maintained, and offers spacious seating. What truly stood out during our visit was the staff member working on Saturday at lunchtime. He was managing everything on his own—from cooking and serving customers to handling online orders—with impressive professionalism. We’ve visited several DIG locations throughout NYC, but this was the first time we saw just one person

Caffè Valencia is a charming neighborhood spot in Williamsburg with a welcoming atmosphere and a menu that blends coffee, brunch, and lunch offerings. The space is smaller than it appears in photos, creating a cozy environment, though it can feel a bit tight during busier hours. The highlight of my visit was the Montauk sandwich served on a croissant. Filled with smoked salmon, avocado, feta, and egg, it was fresh, flavorful, and easily the best thing I ordered. The croissant itself was beautif

I’ve ate here before and the chicken and waffles was pretty good so although I was hesitant to try something new I gave it a chance . I ordered a salmon pasta and it was the WORST salmon or pasta I’ve ever had in my life . My 9 year old nephew makes better pasta than this it was so gross I wanted to throw up . The pasta was brown and hard and dry and tasteless . It made me never want to eat pasta again smh . The salmon was hard almost like if it was freezer burned or re cooked . The empanadas a

This chill neighborhood pub is known for its selection of burgers & craft beers.
This is a small place with a cute backyard. I didn't have any food, so I can't rate that. The prices on drinks are very good. The bartender seemed to be in a bad mood, we all have those days, but if you're in the hospitality industry you should probably leave the bad mood outside the door. On a positive note: he did make a good drink. I'm glad I checked the place out, but I don't need to return.

We stopped in for lunch one day with our niece visiting from California. We each ordered a dish and all were delicious. Not a large place but today we easily found a comfortable seat. Staff were very pleasant and food came out in a reasonable time. A tiny clean bathroom in the back. Back again for lunch. Ordered bacon egg sandwich and ham and cheese. Both were excellent. Even bread was delicious. And of course an Americano which was made just right. Highly recommended.

I’ve liked this location in the past, but I had a really disappointing experience here a few days ago. I came in late at night with my sister and ordered a sandwhich and something similar to a hot dog. When I went to order a drink, they were out of the one I wanted, which I completely understood given the time. However, the way the employee responded felt rude—not just to me, but also to the customer ahead of me. Her tone came across as dismissive and like she just wanted to rush through her sh

I’ve been going to Bar Toto for 30 years and it always is a delicious meal. Their dishes are consistently tasty and they give generous portions. The restaurant is located on an adorable park slope corner which makes it great for people watching while enjoying a drink and meal outside. I recently had their mussles and they were out of this world good, and they have the best fries! Looking forward to many more meals!

Food was so good! Went early to avoid crowd but also it’s a super small restaurant so best to book in advanced. Fried zucchini tastes like it’s cooked in bacon lard. So good. And the sauce is spicy mayo. Lasagna bolognese. Made with béchamel sauce. So yum! Octopus with potato on a bed of arugula. So tender and juicy.

The manager, Mr. Sahim, did one of the kindest things I’ve ever experienced in customer service. For whatever reason, my digital order glitched and the payment didn’t go through. I had ordered 15 pizzas for 11 AM for Teacher Appreciation Week. Mr. Sahim and the entire morning crew on 5/6/26 were absolutely incredible. They went ahead, prepared the entire order, and delivered the pizzas without hesitation, even before payment was resolved. The team trusted that I would take care of it later and

Petite eatery featuring a range of traditional Middle Eastern dishes in a low-lit, relaxed interior.
First time trying kosher food with my daughter. We tried the hawaiian steak and the shish lamb kabobs. The hawaiian steak was very tender. Uses a delicious garlic sauce. The shish lamb kabobs very juicy. Hummus was buttery in quality. We loved the tabouli salad, citrusy, fresh. Perfect place to come with family. Kind staff and manager Miu.

I travel to the city for work a time or 2 every year. I’ve tried all the viral bagel shops but always come back to Rico and here’s why. The staff is efficient and patient. The seating is enough. The selection is not overwhelming. The ratio of cream cheese to bagel is perfect and not crazy. And the bagels. Oh the bagels are things dreams are made of. Light, warm, fresh, flavorful and filled with the perfect additions. I love Rico bagels for that good old NYC feel.

And don't miss out on the crunchy snap of a konjac noodle or the saucy chew of a rice cake! Now I'm craving Mala Pr

Incredible wine bar in the neighborhood, with amazing food. I had the sparkling Prosecco with the sorana beans with lamb, and the focaccia. Don’t skip the dessert — the chocolate pudding with brioche shortbread was 10/10, along with the sourdough choc chip cookie. They also have mulled wine in winter so you’ll want to get a glass!

**5/5 Stars – Absolute Gem for Sushi Lovers!** I finally tried J San Sushi after seeing so many strong recommendations online, and wow – it completely lived up to the hype (and then some)! We went with delivery: 4 specialty rolls, 4 classic rolls, and 2 appetizers. The total came to around $80, which is an absolute steal compared to what I usually pay for similar quality and quantity at other places. Seriously, the value here is unreal – generous portions without skimping on anything. The fis

Great coffee and great vibe. The baristas are quick but also fun to talk to. They actually chat with you and you leave feeling like you made a friend. That’s what happened to me today with the woman behind the counter, even though our conversation lasted for maybe 3 minutes. Also note that this is a quick service coffee shop. No bathroom (like most coffee shops!!) and also small inside. There is outdoor seating though.

My kid is all about the maple pecan, and we’ll sometimes mix it up with the passion fruit one too. The almond croissants? Perfection.And don’t even get me started on the NOLA iced coffee…cherry on top 🤤😇🤗

I didn’t love that the workers were eating right at the front where you place your order as soon as you walk in, but overall the experience was enjoyable. The corn dog was really good, however the rice cake, seaweed, and dumpling combo didn’t quite meet my expectations for the price. Aside from that, I enjoyed the food, would still recommend trying it, and the aesthetic of the place was beautiful.

I stopped by Laza Dessert Cafe on Steinway during Ramadan because it was one of the few places open late for coffee and desserts, which is honestly a big plus when those late-night cravings hit after iftar. I decided to try the Laza Special crepe because the picture they had displayed made it look super chocolatey and rich. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the expectation.
