What to order: Grilled Octopus (dinner special) · Fish stuffed with crab meat (dinner special) · Triple Decker sandwichLanded at LaGuardia just after midnight and needed something quick and dependable. Stopped by Michael’s around 1am and it delivered. Classic burger and fries were solid and hit the spot. No complaints. Open 24 hours, which is huge after a late flight.

What to order: Classic cinnamon roll (glazed or with cream cheese frosting) · Blueberry Lemon Curd roll · Caramel Pecan rollAs a cinnamon roll lover, I'm very picky when it comes to cinnamon rolls, and honestly, the only ones I usually enjoy are from Cinnabon. That said, this bakery absolutely does them right! They offer a great variety of options and their cinnamon rolls are delicious. I ordered mine with cream cheese frosting, and it was incredible. The roll was soft, fresh, and just perfect. The frosting added just the right amount of sweetness without being overpowering. Everything was balanced and flavorful, ma

Warm New American eatery with a bar & basement cabaret, known for drawing theatergoers & performers.
What to order: WBC'S FAMOUS RISOTTO BALLS · Signature Roast Chicken · Lemon Ricotta Pancakes · Spaghetti and MeatballsWent for brunch with a friend who had the eggs Benedict. I thought his eggs Benedict was better than the avocado toast I ordered, which was very average. We also shared the risotto ball hash, which was also pretty good. Overall I guess food was a fair 4 ⭐️ even though I was underwhelmed by my avocado toast, which was fairly basic, lacking imagination and flavor. Service and atmosphere were good. Apparently there is a little “theatre” space downstairs that could host comedy shows and the like.

What to order: Bone Cylinder Soup Base · Spicy Soup Base · Mango Pudding · Watermelon JuiceHad hot pot here for lunch. I ordered the Bone Cylinder Soup Base and Clam, Winter-Melon Soup Base. The bone broth was flavorful on its own and I didn't need any additional sauce. The winter melon broth was lacking in seasoning though. The seafood and vegetables were fresh. My favorites were the fish fillet, squid, and shrimp paste.

What to order: Everything Bagel · Bagel with Cream Cheese · Egg, Cheese, and Avocado on Salt Bagel · Iced LatteHair on my bagels. I bought about a dozen from Bricktown Bagel & Cafe, got home, took a bite, and immediately felt hairs in my mouth. After checking the rest, I found several bagels with visible hairs on them (looked like rat or cat hair). Absolutely disgusting and a serious hygiene issue. I threw everything out.

What to order: Duck Confit · Beet Salad · Branzino with olive tapenade · East Coast OystersFriday night. West Village. Felt like I time-traveled straight to the South of France 🇫🇷 Hit up Le Petit Village with a friend and immediately knew this wasn’t your average “let’s grab dinner” situation. Corner of Perry & 7th Ave, leather utensil holders, two floors, packed house — real grown man ambiance. Started responsible… with East Coast oysters. Fresh, mignonette on point, lemon squeeze, and the world’s tiniest Tabasco bottle. Felt personally attacked but respected it. Then the duck conf

What to order: Grass Fed Lamb Burger · French Onion Soup · Boeuf BourguignonFirst time at this local and cozy place. I loved the atmosphere and the crowd. Our server was very friendly, giving complementary bread and butter; we ordered the steak and beef burger, steak was yummy and the burger was okay, patty wasn’t seasoned enough, good fries and salad though. Only thing is they ONLY accept cash (preferred) or AMEX.

Absolutely adore this place. Came with a friend around 7:15pm on a Monday night. It wasn’t too busy. The atmosphere is inviting and warm. I felt immediately comfortable here. The barmada drink was perfection- their version of a spicy margarita. Spicy, some sweetness, and strong. I got the double smash burger with fries and my friend got the mochiko chicken. The way it’s prepared has some Asian influence, one of the owners mentioned the flour used is the same used for mochi, I think? Both items w

What to order: Steak & Eggs · Nutella Stuffed French Toast · Chai LatteI didn't know where to eat and stumbled upon this place to have brunch. It did not disappoint. I ordered at the front counter and food arrived quickly. Service is good here. I ordered Spinach with Feta Brioche and steak with egg. Everything tasted amazing and the portions were huge. Seatings inside were comfy and relaxing. Also I like that it's not too loud. It's a great spot to chill and enjoy a delicious meal.

What to order: Chilaquiles Rojos or Verdes · Huevos Rancheros · Barbacoa and Egg Taco · Pan de Elote or Molletes (with vegan chorizo)We recently visited Animo for the second time with some friends and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The fish tacos and guac were easily some of the best I've ever had.. fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The service was prompt and outstanding, with a friendly and attentive staff that made us feel welcome throughout our meal. On top of that, the atmosphere was fantastic. Highly recommended and a must visit if you're looking for a high quality and authentic Mexican and

What to order: Chicharrones de Pollos sin Hueso (Fried Chicken Chunks Bonel · 3 Golpes · Bistec Encebollado (Steak & Onions) · Mangú con Bacalao (Mangú with Cod)I ordered on Uber Eats a mangu con tres golpes and order extra of longaniza plus a chinola juice. The juice tasted like it was done weeks ago. Please taste your juices before selling them! They sent me not even 2 pieces of salami as each round was cut in half like a half moon. They sent three pieces of salami so 1 and half round, three pieces of fried cheese the size of mozzarella sticks and the longaniza that I paid extra was 4 small pieces. I paid 19.00 for the meal and almost 7 dollar for a j

What to order: Quanjude Signature Beijing Duck · Steamed Fish (smoked fish) or Wagyu beef & green beans dish · Fried rice with Wagyu and UniExcellent Peking Duck…… probably the best in NYC! Our dinner focused on the duck , so only had two vegetable dishes to balance out the meal. We made a good choices: both veggie dishes are well made, love them. Attentive service by all wait staff. The only criticism is the ambient temperature is on the warm side with outdoor temperature reached 80F today.
