Village Voice is proud to welcome Banana Leaf to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. If you've never had Sri Lankan fare before then you should start here.
The menu features favorites from Hudson Street, plus a few new additions, like a vegetable pancake, shrimp and mango dumplings, and diced raw tuna with noodles.
The uptown location of the fun Chinese-American restaurant with excellent dumplings and other classics.
The menu includes things like Dan Dan noodles, beef tendons in chili oil, and dry pepper chicken wings, plus 14 protein-based entrees. The early word is very good.
First New York outpost of the revered Philly chain. Starters like wontons in chili oil and dan dan noodles are excellent, but main dishes are only average.
This 24-hour Cuban diner is polished but homey, with crisp fried dishes and great desserts.
If any of Chinatown's best dim sum joints are undiscovered, this one is, though long weekend waits suggest otherwise. Chinatown pros and pro chefs alike consider it best-of-breed. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.
A longstanding farm-to-table restaurant that serves thoughtful American fare and does the term ‘neighborhood spot’ justice.
Transforms a whiskey hater into a believer. Best thing to happen to Driggs and North 9th
One of the most unique and delicious ramen shops in the city. Unashemedly inauthentic. A must-visit.
Spanish chain specializing in cheap ($2.50 and under), mostly satisfying tapa-sized sandwiches.
Sam Mason’s new Wonka-like Williamsburg creamery features 8-10 flavors. Be sure to check out some of the wonderfully weirder ones – and wash them down with homemade soda!
Unique flavors like cornbread and chorizo caramel join conventional vanilla and chocolate at this retro ice cream parlor from a wd~50 pastry vet.
$2 micro-brews - on a mason jar, every Thursday. The best worst-kept secret in Kingston Leggi tutto.
Between the rural, romantic vibe (pale blue walls, distressed-wood tables) and real-steal prices, this folksy American spot, from the team behind Peaches HotHouse, is tailor-made for budget dating. Leggi tutto.
Friendly, low-key, and affordable Southern. Cheap, tasty burgers and fried chicken, well-made cocktails, and excellent vegetables and charcuterie.
“Glasserie’s convivial ethos feels in keeping with the way we like to eat now: gone is the three-course meal, and, instead, appetizers become entrées, and back again, all of it customizable.” Leggi tutto.
Modern restaurant with inventive Middle Eastern-inflected food, including small and large plates to share.
“If a deli is only as good as its egg-and-cheese, Court Street Grocers rules them all: creamy scrambled eggs, melted white Cheddar, arugula, and a split hickory-smoked sausage, on a buttered roll.” Leggi tutto.
The hero-based offshoot of the Court Street sandwich shop. Great mix of new takes on regional American sandwiches.
Cocktails (whisky recommended) are great, backyard is excellent. Don't even look at the menu. Just go up and ask the sandwich man what to eat.
A generous Happy Hour offers $4 beers, $6 selected cocktails and $7 glasses of wine until 8 p.m., even on weekends. Leggi tutto.
