A total hidden gem in the neighborhood – easily the best Italian joint in the area. Get the taglierini.
Americanized, but in a good way (think less heavy and salty). Get the beef roll, oyster omelet, zhajiangmian, turnip cake...yeah, pretty much everything. And a Taiwan Beer Gold Medal of course.
Just set up shop and never leave. Everything is delicious and if you don't agree, I will fight you.
Favorite cocktail bar in NYC! They don't have a menu, so you just need to tell them your favorite flavors/liquor/style!
Their ramen blows every other tonkotsu ramen in NYC out of the water. The hype is real. Pricey, though.
This coffee shop only sells Colombian Coffee sourced directly from Colombia. According to Foursquare users, the iced coffee and chocolate donuts are excellent. Leggi tutto.
Still in its youth, Joseph Leonard is already essential to the neighborhood. Gabe Stulman's tiny neighborhood spot puts out a great vibe and even better food. [Eater 38 Member] Leggi tutto.
Tiny hole-in-the-wall noodle joint that's crazy delicious. Order the sizzling noodles with pork belly!
Go through the Japanese restaurant and to the unmarked door that faces you as you get to the hostess stand. No parties more than 4. The specialty cocktails are impressive here.
Williamsburg's best coffee shop serves a mean cold brew coffee and is laptop friendly w/ free wifi. There are no power outlets, so come with a fully charged battery.
Best way to know what the weather is in NYC - go to Abraco, get a coffee/latte/cortado. If Coltrane is playing, it's rainy outside.

For serious beer aficionados: snag a seat at the bar and try an esoteric beer that, in all likelihood, you have never heard of. The draft list is up on the wall; bottles are on the printed menu.
Work space by day (outlets + WiFi). Bar by night w/ awesome wine list! Vibe = rustic hipster.
I really shouldn't put this, because it is LIC's best kept secret. Beautiful interior, great drinks and nice staff.
There's no menu; only a wine list. Pick a wine and get the steak rare. Literally, there's nothing else to decide.
There is no better place to go in the city after work when the weather is nice.
The lobster roll here is a study of balance and restraint: four ounces of sweet Maine lobster meat, a buttered bun with a brush of mayonnaise and a dash of seasoning ($14). Leggi tutto.
Spacious bar downstairs. Great sound system and crowd. Easily one of my favorite venues in NYC.
The view and the ambiance are amazing. It's so rare to get to sit right on the water here in New York. Be sure to bring a sweater, it's refreshingly brisk!
One of the best dim sum places in Manhattan. Get there around 11:30 on weekends to avoid the crowds!
"The Bird" will feed a family. Or two drunk people. Open til 2am! Love the sauces.
Splurge a little and get the axe handle ribeye. Pair it with a Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA (they have it on tap). Doesn't get any better than that.

“The train tracks underfoot and the tattered fabric fluttering in the breeze, you must grudgingly admit, only add to the charm.” Leggi tutto.
A dark, underground sake cave with cool bartenders. Get the Hakkaisan Honjozo neat - pricey, but you certainly won't regret it. If you get the munchies, go for salmon or mentaiko chazuke.
Order an indulgent cocktail, cozy up on one of the couches, and fall in love with the music + ambiance.
Come with no expectations, buck up the $5 cover charge, drink among taxidermy, and boogie down with the hipsters like it's no tomorrow.
The drinks are a bit on the sweet side -- and there's proseco on tap if that's your jam -- but it has a chill vibe in the back of an art gallery that's a great reprieve from the rest of the LES.
Really cute wine bar in the heart of the East Village. The ambiance is great - definitely a great place to take date.
Come for a DJ set and dance your f*cking face off. Ignore the rest and you'll have a dope time.
relaxing and chill atmosphere if you go during the day - indoor rooftop pool + great cocktail drinks
Exhibits from local artists line the walls for viewing while you line up for coffee. Equal amounts of floor retail is dedicated to seating as for roasting. They take coffee roasting seriously!
There's no sign but walk past the curtain, open the door and be transported to a hidden gem. Chef Norihito will not let you down.
Can't go wrong with either the pork or beef boat noodles -- savory, sour, sweet, spicy, sublime. Did I mention they're topped with crunchy pork rinds?
Chill and cozy neighborhood bar in Greenpoint. Try the Mother’s Milk or the Phoenix Down, and enjoy it in the outdoor patio.
Cozy restaurant that's perfect for a date night or dinner w family! Must try the hellboy.
