The new UWS wine bar & resto is turning out wood-hardening Mediterranean grub like tuscan fries, braised cuttlefish, & grilled hanger steak with duck fat mashed potatoes. The wine list is 160 deep.
Absolutely delicious! Give the mussels a try. You won't regret it!
$1 oysters 5p-7p! Old vine wine! Classy & when the weather's great, dine al fresco. The crostinis are a little pricier but if you're wllng 2 splurge--I was high when I tried the chicken liver mousse.

Chicken and rice meal or the greek salad with grilled chicken...you can't go wrong with Chirping Chicken!
Far none one of the best chicken joints in the city. Great that they added a salad to my meal which was a surprise! Got crowded at times though, so off-peak hours is the best times.
Cesare Casella's small plates parlor is a great place for a few bites of premium imported antipasti and a glass of wine, or a larger meal of more substantial meat and pasta dishes. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.
An Upper West Sider's secret, Gennaro is no reservations, no cash and no frills. But its straightforward pastas and main proteins never disappoint at this off-the-cuff dining option. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.

A trendy Parisian café that’s a perfect hangout for after dinner drinks or Sunday brunch. We recommend the Grilled New York Strip Steak with duck fat chips.
Just named Best New Restaurant at the James Beard Awards so reservations may be tight. But, it's worth the fuss to order fusilli with red wine braised octopus and bone marrow and eat at the bar.

Brought a large party and we were accommodated on short notice. Everyone enjoyed their dinner from the service to the generous portions of pasta. Instantly one of my favorite family dining places.
The buccatini was amazing and they have large carafes of wine (5 glasses) for $30.
I have never had anything less than superb off the menu here. The spoonbread punch, BBQ chicken, collard greens, ribs, smothered chicken are all delicious and generously portioned.
Catfish, mac-n-cheese and greens. YUM!!, save room for desert..red velvet cake or coconut cake de lish
Sit at the bar, order an array of cheeses, meats & apps (and fab cocktails) and you won't be disappointed!
Get everything; fried pickles, not-fried pickles, mac & cheese, cheese grits, fried chicken sandwiches are all fantastic. Good beer selection, but about $1-2 overpriced and NOT 16 oz. pours.
The $40 Chef's Omakase is probably one of the best and tasty sushi deals I've encountered on the UWS. 12 pieces + 1 maki roll, prepared with much TLC. Each piece is amazing. Must. Try.
Fun place on the UWS great for groups at the long communal tables in the back. Not heart healthy but sooo yum. The fried Oreos are a must. Yes really. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Leggi tutto.
Pig's Ass Sandwich: Thin shavings of Fiscalini Cheddar, nutty Fol Epi, and, er, pig's ass, with house-made bread and butter pickles whose bright crunch lightens each bite. Leggi tutto.

Wow, this is a truly unique & wonderful little organic grocery store, my new favorite.
From the Smoked Gouda and Fig to the Gruyère and Candied Bacon, this isn't your everyday grilled cheese. Round out your meal with a refreshing cucumber-ginger lemonade and a rosemary lemon snow cone. Leggi tutto.
It's a cheese shop, a fondue restaurant, a wine bar, and a Mediterranean restaurant all in one. Split the sampler plate and get a taste of it all.
ask for Yen Ta Four noodle soup! this is as close as Thai street food you could ever get! have to admit this place makes it wayyyyy better than Wondee I.
ask for the secret Thai menu. everything you orde tell them you wan Thai style. da bomb.
Pie is ok. Crust is flaky and chicken is moist white meat but the gravy inside is like jelly. Work on the gravy!
Esca, Mario Batali's southern Italian trattoria, serves the freshest seafood dishes, like Zuppa Di Pesce, Branzino Per Due, in New York City's theatre district.
Bife Acebolado (aged grilled shell steak with onions) was AWESOME. Expect large portions with each entree.
Just like its downtown brother, you come to this Chinese hotspot for their amazing soup dumplings – get both the crab and the pork – they’re one of the best in NYC.
You can add pasta to any of the meat dishes....chicken marsala with linguine is amazing!
Get the scrambled egg with caviar with vodka cream. I dream of it. The egg is so perfectly liquid. 5/5
It's not just sushi here! Try the amazing fried chicken served with wasabi honey on the side!
After 9:30 in the bar and in the cafe ask about the $1.50 OYSTER, SHRIMP & CLAMS special...Just NOT on Saturday.
The Linguine Scampignoli in roasted garlic and tomato sauce is spectacular get the white pie everyone raves about too! A glass of Montelpuciano for a house red - fabulous meal, excellent staff
A little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant and the food reflects the name. The burritos are huge and very good. Be advised as it is cash only.
if you like Enchiladas, you will love the suizas. or if fajitas, try the steak. too good
Italian snacks like arancini, veal tartare, and grilled cuttlefish, house-made pappardelle with duck ragu, dry-aged sirloin steak. Try getting steak at the Tenement Museum. Leggi tutto.
Start with a cappuccino and croissant and then go for the smoked salmon frittata with goat cheese or the pappardelle with duck ragu, shaved chocolate and orange -- a dish that sounds odd but works. Leggi tutto.
The stinging nettle tortelli is delicious! You've got to try the salted dark chocolate ice cream!

Unlimited boozy brunch with great food and great service. And you can't forget about the welcome shot!
The brunch food is way above average, but the place has a very odd atmosphere mix of casual/ formal. If you're underdressed, or try to be funny, it's as awkward as wiping your ass with sandpaper.
Just Opened. Spanish. Taste: Roast Farm Chicken (redi curi squash. apple bacon gnocchi)that falls off the bone. There is a Tapas bar, sangria on tap, paellas and grilled Spanish black sausage. Leggi tutto.
Great wings - order them extra crispy. Waffle fries are good too with the cheese sauce on the side. It's a pretty fratty bar so good luck finding anything "healthy".
Reasonably priced ($13/avg) vegan meals - fresh, clean Asian inspired. Tofu and tempeh are cooked well!
The newest of the 3 Smith restaurants, this one is a welcome addition to the area. We love to start with the potato chips and blue cheese fondue, followed by the lobster roll or roasted chicken salad.
