Flame-grilled chicken is the trademark dish, juicy and perfectly charred. It's boneless other than the wing, making the texture consistent across the white and dark meat. Leggi tutto.
Best fried chicken in the Alphabet City. I hear the porkchop is off the chain too.
The best bathroom in the city, free beer while you wait for your table, and mind-blowing food. What's not to like?
It's a chicken-finger joint from a dude whose own personal craziness is exceeded only by the bird offerings. Leggi tutto.
Fabulous short ribs, rustic and peppery. The richness is balanced by celery, horseradish, Castelvetrano olives and lemon. (Lemon makes everything better.) It's gigantic, so you'll want to share it.
It's four—maybe more—restaurants in one! Breakfast: sleepy, quiet, delicious. Lunch: hopping; sit at the bar at back. Afternoon: get bread and cured meat to go. Evening: slammed; yummers.
Porchetta or Short Rib Sandwiches. The grocery is also fantastic. Their focaccia baguette is one of my favorite breads in NYC. Lardo, cheeses, coppa, whipped lard... Everything is delicious!
I've always wanted someone to put shakshuka -- poached egg with spiced tomatoes, tahini, and cilantro -- into a pita to save me the effort of all that dipping. Taboonette has that breakfast sandwich.
Don't be scared of the savory oatmeals. The Canadian will warm your tummy: bacon, sharp cheddar, roasted apples, maple and sea salt.
If you want to travel to Astoria Queens for food, you must stop here! The price is right and you won't leave hungry at all. My personal favorite is Souvlaki Pork Platter. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef
A cozy little café that feels like something out of a small village in Europe. Good prices, great coffee, and even better sandwiches. Try one of the paninis if you don't believe us.
Recommended dishes: Eggs, guacamole, chicken wings, lomo saltado, ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, roast pork, chocolate cake with dulce de leche buttercream. Leggi tutto.
Try the Mac and Chicharrón, a double dose of pork with a silky mix of American and cheddar cheeses, spiked with spicy sambal. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Leggi tutto.
If you haven't had the turkey sandwich here, you're missing out---it's the best triple-decker in town. Featured in Cheap Eats 2011! Leggi tutto.
Chicken BLT: simple perfection! Kitchen is a little disorganized, but super friendly. Nice array of side salads, wish they also sold chips! A fun addition to the neighborhood, great for picnics!
Any sandwich-which are big enough to share-includes a free can of soda or bottle of water.
