Place for simple, modern Mexican food (like tacos, tortas & grilled dishes) with cocktails & wine.
I’ve been coming to La Lonchería for years, and it never disappoints. The tacos are always flavorful and well made, especially the tacos de costra, which are a must-try. The tortas are also really good, packed with flavor, and the tuna tostadas are fresh and delicious. This place has been open for over six years, and you can tell they know what they’re doing. The service is efficient and fast, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a solid spot if you’re looking for authentic

A really great surprise in Bay Ridge. I was searching for a lunch spot when I remembered this small sandwich shop and decided to stop in and I’m glad I did. It took me a few minutes to choose, but it was well worth it. They’re definitely generous with the meat. I ordered the #1, the Giant Special, which came with ham, fried eggplant, fresh mozzarella, balsamic, and mayo. Everything tasted great, and I’m already looking forward to trying more of their sandwiches next time I’m in the area.

I stopped in for a quick lunch because I heard so many great things about this place and I am also a fan of the owners other restaurant Chela. This place is truly remarkable. Everything from the service, food and ambiance was nothing short of perfection. I ordered the seafood paella and let me tell you, it was full of flavor and really filling. And their Bloody Mary cocktail.....this is one of the absolute best I have ever had and is definitely a must try. The restaurant itself has a great vibe

Good 👍🏻 For three years I have been eating lamb ribs with rice and white sauce at this restaurant. It’s very tasty. The service here is very convenient. If you work late or are a taxi driver, you can eat delicious food here even at 1:00 am so you don’t have to wait 20 minutes for your dish. Call the phone number and make an order and you will arrive in 20 minutes, your dish will be ready, the service is very good guys, very friendly, everything is always fresh, I recommend this place because m

Alphabet City storefront serving banh mi sandwiches & other Vietnamese dishes, mostly to go.
Im a big fan of Vietnamese food and have tried many bahn mi spots but this is definitely one of the most flavorful sandwiches I’ve eaten. They even redelivered my order when they couldn’t get to me the first time.

Such a cute and tiny cafe. Staff were very wonderful and friendly; so welcoming. I got the Phnom Penh coffee and sat outside the cafe for a good 30 mins or so just enjoying that shaded area with a nice breeze. It was really really nice, especially after the few hrs of pain in my feet from all that walking. I'm definitely coming back to try their pastries and the other drinks that they have. 😃

This right here is some of the best Mexican food you will get in the area, guaranteed. Currently eating a shrimp burrito as I type this and I just felt that I had to let anyone reading this know that it’s almost TOO good. Don’t let the grocery store exterior fool you, this place is top notch.

Somehow this was my first time going to Thea even though we love Theodora ❤️ The Jerusalem bagel with labneh was sooo good. The chocolate babka was so sticky and tasty. Also the flan croissant was everything I hoped for. So flaky, moist, and delicious. We'll be back to try more items!

Came into town to see family a block away and decided to try this place. They were just putting the food out so there was no wait. We got one plate of food to share between the two of us because it would have been our first time trying Jamaican Chinese food outside of Jamaica and outside of my own kitchen. We paid almost $17 for a medium general tso chicken with vegetable fried rice and cabbage with sweet and sour sauce. The chicken was seasoned well but heavily breaded, it was not dry though

Bubble tea specialist with a selection of other hot & cold drinks, including coffee & slushes.
One of my favorite bubble tea franchises but it was my first time to this location. The drinks were good and the service was fairly fast given they had a crowd. I love their variety of toppings especially custard and herbal jelly. I generally get taro milk tea but this one just tasted more milky than creamy taro.

Trendy spot serving Hokkaido-style dishes, sushi & tabletop BBQ in a loungey atmosphere.
Dr. Clark is a cozy and intimate restaurant with dark mood lighting and a nice full bar. Cocktails and Japanese Whisky offered here as well as light spirits. The menu is a mix of sashimi, variety of noodles, and light bites, while featuring lamb as a popular main. Two versions: cooked at your table with a portable grill or order chops by the piece, where it's cooked in the kitchen. The favorite was the stir fry udon noodles and the chan chan (baked salmon) for my group. Sashimi was really good,

Absolutely love this place is the pizza was perfectly baked with a crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and which flavorful sauce. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. You can really tell they care about quality and Customer experience whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or sitting down for a full meal this spot is must visit for any Pizza lover. I’ll definitely be coming back.

The restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They prepare Italian and Mexican cuisine. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Soups 🍲, salads 🥗, appetizers, entrees, pizza 🍕 heroes, rolls, burgers 🍔, sides and beverages are available. I ordered a pizza pie, shrimp parmigiana hero and spaghetti with white clam sauce. The food was very good and tasty.

Counter-serve chain serving cinnamon rolls plus other baked goods & specialty frozen beverages.
Interesting to be able to watch staff make the buns behind the glass and see the process. Staff are friendly and efficient. The buns are slightly small for the price, but it tastes great. Only a few seating and the tables weren’t so clean. Overall, good place to pick up a snack.

The worst, most bland ramen I’ve ever had. I’m extremely disappointed in the ramen I just got. The broth is horrible and entire thing is flavorless. I am throwing the entire thing in the trash. Money completely wasted. Will never order from here again. So pissed. I was craving ramen all day only to get a bowl that taste terrible.

Compact eatery offering Indian food, including vegetarian options, plus a weekday lunch buffet.
I stumbled into Bawarchi on my way to the Museum Mile Festival, mostly looking to cool down and grab a drink. What I didn’t realize was that they were just about to close, but the owner graciously waved us in anyway, and I’m so glad he did. I ordered both the vegetable and chicken samosas, and they delivered on every level: crispy, well-seasoned, and satisfying without being heavy. Exactly what you want when you’re fueling up for a long evening on your feet. But honestly, the food was almost sec

I’ve been going to Brooklyn Bread for over 10 years, and it has never disappointed. The sandwiches are all amazing, but my absolute favorite is the Healthy Chick-the name says it all! It’s incredibly delicious, healthy, and always satisfying. What really makes this place stand out, though, is the staff. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which makes every visit a great experience. The restaurant is also consistently spotless, and cleanliness is something I really value.

Relaxed neighborhood eatery serving Japanese favorites like sushi rolls, sashimi & tempura.
Been here twice and the food is consistently great. The fish tastes so fresh and high quality. It doesn't taste overly gamey or rubbery. The Salmon Tartare appetizer was my favorite! Love the way it's wrapped in thin avocado slices vs. thick chunks. The Lobster roll is my go to and the size of each piece / meat quantity is excellent. It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. The outdoor dining area is nicely decorated with a bit of a vibe (eg Japanese style sliding doors). The vibe inside is

Absolutely incredible experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The standout for me was the veggie samosa — perfectly crispy on the outside with a deliciously seasoned potato and pea filling inside. Easily one of the best samosas I’ve had in a long time. The pakora was equally amazing: light, crispy, and packed with flavor without feeling greasy. It paired perfectly with the chutneys and made for an addictively good appetizer. The service wa

Just checked out Dong Bei Restaurant & Bar and honestly, this place feels like a hidden gem already. The food is truly Northern Chinese super authentic, rich, and comforting. It literally tastes like a home-cooked meal. You can tell it’s a new spot, but they’re already getting a lot of love, pretty busy when I went. The owner is hands-on with everything and so sweet, welcoming, and genuine. That kinda hospitality really makes a difference. Overall, really solid experience. Delicious food, grea

Artisanal pizzas & Italian fare, offered in chic digs for dine-in with cocktails or quick take-out.
This might not be the best pizza you’ll ever have, and the service is kind of meh - but they’ve got seating! And that alone is enough to recommend them over other Grand Central offerings when you’ve been traveling and need a break. The food is a bit greasy, so don’t overdo it or you may regret it later…but have a small snack and a large drink and enjoy being off your feet and/or the train!
