One of my favorite coffee roasters in Bushwick. Located in the backstreets of the neighborhood amongst warehouses and in one itself. The trek is a bit off the beaten path it’s well worth to grab some of their freshly roasted beans. Out of their wide selection of beans I’m obsessed with their Salvadoran stock, highly recommend scooping a bag of it(sells out quick).

I stumbled upon this place and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. I love the big windows that let natural light in. But inside is also very intimate and cozy. The food is good and the drinks are superb. Would absolutely come back.

East by West Omakase is newly opened Omakase in Midtown. My friend and I had such a great experience. Every course felt thoughtful and beautifully presented. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the balance of flavors was honestly one of the best omakase experiences I’ve had recently. One thing to mention. The chefs were friendly and attentive, and the whole atmosphere felt intimate and relaxing. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for a special dinner or date night. Highly recommend if you love om

What to order: Beef Sukiyaki Fried Rice Bowl · Gyu‑Combo 3 · Chicken KaraageTasty marinated Japanese inspired BBQ meats. The lunch combo for $19.99 which includes 3 meats, soup, salad, and rice is an amazing deal for the portion size and quality protein. Their menu is extensive ( maybe too overbearing for some folks), but at least you know there’s multiple options for everyone. There’s an AYCE ( all you can eat) option available too for the big stomach folks. There’s chili crispy chicken wings were flavorful and super crunchy and tasty. Just be prepared to grill meats

What to order: Burrata Pizza · Lasagna al Forno · Pappardelle alla BologneseFrom the street greeting to the comparable bill, this was the BEST experience!

Our next visit to Little Italy will definitely be on the list. 🙂 We even asked about some modifications that they were incredibly accommodating for! Highly recommend! (Bread was complimentary.)

What to order: Pistachio (Mawardi Sublime) · Mango (Alphonso from India) · Gelato Macarons · Traditional Italian Hot ChocolatePassed by here on the way to see a show and came back around 10:30 pm for dessert!

What to order: Moist Brisket · Peppery Ribs · Spicy Sausage · Longhorn Cheddar Mac & CheeseHill Country Barbecue Market at 26 Street is a great spot for anyone craving authentic Texas-style barbecue in New York City. The atmosphere is lively and casual, with plenty of seating and a fun market-style setup.

The portions were generous, and the classic barbecue sides complemented the meal well. The service was efficient despite the busy crowd. The only downside was the col

Unpretentious 24/7 eatery where kebabs lead the lineup of Indian & Pakistani eats.
What to order: Chicken Biryani · Chicken Karahi · Seekh Kebab · Lamb ChopsI see that this place has mixed reviews so here’s my honest take. The food is really delicious and very flavorful. Some of their items do have a bit of a spicy kick so I wouldn’t recommend this place to someone that has a low spice tolerance. Their menu is really big with so many great options and you definitely can’t go wrong with their chicken biryani. Also, I really liked the dough in their vegetable samosa. It had a nice hint of sweetness. As far as ambience and presentation, the workers we

I was pleasantly surprised by this new Japanese spot near Times Square. The biggest highlight is definitely the $11.95 Bento Box, which is hard to find in this area. The portion was generous, making it an amazing value for Midtown. The sushi was fresh, the fish tasted clean, and the rolls were well made with a good balance of rice and filling. Everything arrived beautifully presented, and the restaurant itself is clean, modern, and comfortable. If you’re looking for quality Japanese food with
