"A must-visit spot for Lovecraft and Poe fans, as both men spent significant time here. Get there early and grab one of the desks on the balcony overlooking the main floor. Read and people-watch."

"Old school, simple and traditional Italian food done very well. One of the better spots in Federal Hill, and it’s very reasonably priced too, especially the lunch specials. Chicken Parmesan is solid."

"This place is all about the mala chili oil; get something with mala. Schezuan cold noodles are a great place to start. Hot and sour shredded potatoes are a unique and tasty vegetable dish."

"Meh. Decent pizza, but average for the North End. Go to Galleria Umberto on Hanover St. Way better."

"Quality beer bar close to Times Square. A bit less divey than the East location. Drink a draft from Other Half, then get a crowler to go. You can fill it with anything they have on tap."

"Excellent bagels, definitely along the best in NY. The breakfast sandwiches are massive carbocaloriebombs. Tho location is quieter than the other one too."
