“phenomenal tacos made right in front of you. corn tortilla was a standout, along with the creamy guac. so many salsa topping options that you can load up your tacos with so much flavour that will blow your mind. only downside is the wait but if you get luck you’ll skip the line and dive into your tacos within 10mins.“
“Keens Steakhouse is a MUST visit for great food, exceptional service and a unique dining atmosphere that hearkens back to its roots.Everything was delicious! I had a T-Bone and it was perfectly grilled. The carrots soaked in butter were amazing! The wedge salad and bread border on addiction inducing! For dessert, the creme brulee was outstanding. One of the best I've had in the United States! Simple but light and creamy with an undertone of vanilla it was perfection in a cup!Thank you Keens for a wonderful experience!“
“I normally recommend this bakery to everyone. However, yesterday morning I went to your Brooklyn location to bring home bombalones for family. This morning the strawberry on top on one is literally covered in mold. This is absolutely unacceptable! Unfortunately I'm already back out of state so I can't even come back to get an exchange. I spent around $75 yesterday.... and I get MOLDY food.“
“I ran into Steph at one of her pop-ups and fell in love with her macarons. Not only are they adorable, but they are DELICIOUS!! I reached out to her for a custom order for my bridal shower favors and they came out so perfect. Everyone was raving about them! Steph was very responsive via email and helped to create an order that fit within the budget I specified. I can't wait to order from her again!“
“Absolutely loved this restaurant! Service was superb! Great vibes … felt very safe with distance of tables . Service and head waiter was so welcoming ! Lentil soup and Salad gelato with shrimp Delicious! Salmon , lasagna and homemade pappardelle so yummy . I just returned from Italy and felt like I was right back there ! Will be back !“
“One of the best meals I’ve had in a VERY long time. Every dish was a 10. Exciting, innovative, yet still approachable and incredibly delicious. Still thinking about the seabass tartare and the mafaldine with king crab mmmmm. The team there is TOPS. They execute flawless fine dining service in a way that feels genuine, cool, calm and collected. Many many thanks to Whitney, Darnelle, Naomi and Josh. Already looking forward to my next visit.“
“It's my first time in New York, I wanted to try a good coffee. I was greatly surprised by the waiter Carlos, he is very kind and gentle, he made me feel welcome, he was very attentive, I recommend the place for Carlos' attention to me and for his coffee, people like him make you want to come back. Thank you very much Carlos for giving me this great experience!!!“
“Per Se graces the bustling streets of Manhattan, New York, with its culinary prowess. Led by the renowned Thomas Keller, this three Michelin star restaurant delivers an unparalleled dining experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.From the moment you step through the doors, you are enveloped in a world of sophistication and refinement. The service is impeccable, ensuring every need is met with grace and precision. And the wine pairings? Simply perfect, elevating each dish to new heights.Among the many highlights of the evening, the cheese signature dish, Oysters and Pearls, steals the show with its harmonious blend of flavors and textures. It's a true testament to the culinary genius at work in the Per Se kitchen.But what truly sets Per Se apart is its attention to detail and commitment to exceeding expectations. The thoughtful gesture of a Goodybag filled with delectable pastries for our young companion was a delightful surprise that added an extra layer of warmth to the experience.While dining at Per Se may require a significant investment, every dime is justified by the unforgettable memories created and the unparalleled quality of the cuisine. For those seeking a gastronomic adventure like no other, Per Se is an absolute must-visit destination in the heart of Manhattan.“
“Fantastic date spot in West Village. Cozy interior and options for outdoor seating. Authentic French cuisine and vibes. Loved the cocktails and service was friendly and quick. Went here for brunch before a jazz show nearby. Highly recommend.“
“Came here for a birthday. Very friendly staff and great decor.Started off with some Brussel sprouts, calamari, it was all pretty good. Brussel sprouts slightly overcooked but not too bad. Calamari is great esp the green color sauce.Had a burger, very good! My fellow diners got pasta - they said it was mid but they still enjoyed it.Overall a great please. One slight bother was the $8 for bottled water. Not sure is tap water is an option but seeing $16 charged for water was not pleasant and a surprise.Additionally, more non pork options would be great.“
“I happened to be in Greenpoint on a weekday morning so I decided to add Radio Bakery to my list of places to stop by. There was no line, so I was in and out. There are a few counter seats by the window and some tables on the sidewalk outside for those who want to eat at the bakery. I was hoping to get their chocolate PB croissant, but they didn't have them that morning, so I ended up getting the double baked pistachio croissant and the earl grey morning bun. The pistachio croissant was very good - super flaky and crispy on the outside and not too sweet. I liked the whole pieces of pistachio on top. The early grey morning bun was also solid, and I really liked how strong the early grey flavor was. Overall this bakery is great, but I knocked off a star because this place is pricey, even for NYC ($8 for a croissant!). I also don't think it's worth waiting in line for on the weekends, so I'm glad I got to go during the weekday.“
“This cake was an absolute masterpiece!! All three tiers were a different flavor, one even better than the next….my personal favorite was the coconut cake. Planning a wedding is so overwhelming and there are so many decisions to be made. Polkadot Cake Shop was well organized, quick to respond and so easy to work with. Also loved being able to support a business local to me. Thank you so much!!!“
“I was so tired so I grabbed the first thing I saw that looked familiar instead of reading the menu or checking out comments. It was beyond burger, which was delicious. After I ordered I saw crab cakes that looked yum, I wish I tried those too. They also had a bunch of desserts that looked good, but I can't eat that much at once. So if I'm ever back in New York I'm definitely coming there again. Service is really good, nice people working there, order ready fast! I definitely recommend this place.“
“A good friend from South Carolina recommended this restaurant. I must say this was some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. The owner of the restaurant is extremely nice and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Wu for telling us about this wonderful restaurant.“
“Love their chocolate croissant! I can see why they won an award for their croissant. I have to go back for their original and almond croissant as well. I'm also a fan of Bread's 10% off if you BYOC for coffee :-) A big bonus for their staff because they're always so friendly and energetic regardless of how busy or early it is!!“
“The food is great and the prices are reasonable for NYC. I highly recommend everything on the menu. I agree with their statement that everything is tasted twice a day and cooked to perfection. Everytime I come, the food gets better and better! I would highly recommend the food and drinks to my family and friends!“
“woke up with a craving for the perfect blueberry muffin and Rex delivered. super soft, fruit forward muffin with a perfectly crusted top, sprinkled with sugar. so so good. they also make a proper cappuccino and have great ambiance with pleasant music, nyt copies, and books to peruse. I will definitely be coming back for a lil Saturday morning outing one of these days.“
“Really beautiful space with lovely food and great service. I was expecting a bit more from the food tbh for the price (not sure what though because I have no real complaint but it wasn't spectacular other than the mixed fritter appetizer which was the best tempura I've ever had). All in all 4.5 stars.“
“When a craftsman takes pride in their work, it shows! Let me tell you that this pizza has "craftsmanship" written all over it! To begin with not many pizzerias make grandma slices, whereas they had an abundance when I went in. To top it off the taste is just an explosion of flavor! This is besides a variety of pizza styles they have ready. I'm definitely coming back and can't wait to try out other craft slices!“
“I absolutely loved it. I went last Friday with my family and we felt so welcomed. The food was absolutely delicious. We were extremely impressed with the hostess Georgina. She was so friendly and had us all cracking up. She suggested we drink the rising dragon and it was delicious, we would’ve never thought to try it before her. Great experience everyone needs to go !“
“Bagels and croissants were out of this world! I got egg and cheese and my husband got jalenpeño cream cheese on sesame seed. We also split a croissant. It was a LOT of food so come hungry! But I would come here everyday if I could. Definitely worth the stop in!“

“Excellent bakery I found for our baby shower cake! Marie the owner was fantastic. The cake was very well done. Very close to identical of the photo that I provided to Marie. The photo on the left is what I provided. The photo on the right is what she made for us. All our guests raved about the cake. I’m happy to have found a bakery that I will certainly be using for upcoming events/birthdays.“
“Ordered the Charred Chicken Bowl, and I must say, it was phenomenal. It had a flavour that was unbeknownst to me in a bowl. The coconut ranch mixed with the habanero sauce, really do create a unique flavour profile. Also, the chicken marination was something that was brand new to me. Do give it a try!“
“A delicious cookie spot! I finally caved and tried one. It is tasty, crunchy and soft and chocolatey as a good cookie should be. Honestly, for the city and the size of it, the price is okay. I definitely enjoyed it and understand why it is so cherished. I enjoyed mine in the park.“
“I mean, what can I say? I sat at the bar, like a lonely weirdo, and the staff was amazing. Fun people, great food, great service, and every one of the staff members has a great backstory. I’m only here four nights, I’ll probably come back four times.“
“We only discovered St. Eves a couple weeks ago - great neighborhood spot! Food was very good, service on point, nice atmosphere. Seating a little tight though. Big plus for us - byob! On the pricier side but well worth it. Will definitely included St. Eves in our regular restaurant rotation.“
“One of my favorite study spots on the Upper East Side!!! They offer a delicious selection of Puerto-Rican inspired coffee and have two rooms, one where you can buy the coffee, and one quiet one with long tables where you can work peacefully! The atmosphere is lovely and the service is great. I definitely recommend!!“
“During my recent dining experience at Quality Italian, the food lived up to its usual standard of excellence. However, I must note that the wait time was considerably lengthy and the ambiance was rather noisy. Despite these drawbacks, I would still consider returning to enjoy the delicious fare.“
“We were a table of 5 , it was my nephews 18th birthday . We were a bit late due there was a barricade due to the presidential motorcade. They were so nice about it and still seated us. I went for lunch . I personally had the smith bar steak and side greens . I also had the tomato soup and Mac and cheese and hot fudge sundae . Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. The waiter was nice and even took our picture when I asked . we had a nice time . I would go back here again. the place was cute“
“DELICIOUS ! If you have never tasted these legendary New York cookies, I recommend the one with dark chocolate and peanut butter which is by far the essential of this brand! Count around $5 per cookie. You can eat it on site or take away (but there are only a few tables)“
“I've been several times and it's consistently really delicious! The sushi is pretty cool with very realistic vegan salmon and tuna, but in my opinion the rest of their menu is even better. There's a big variety of other delicious things (fried "chicken" bao, dumplings, noodles...). The ube cheesecake is really good too - it doesn't taste exactly like a normal cheesecake but is just a tasty dessert in its own right. All the dishes come out really quickly.“
“I’ve been here many times, the food is delicious and everything on the menu can be prepared gluten free which is amazing for an Italian restaurant. The waiters are nice and make you feel at home!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and dairy free“
“I love coming here ! The food & pastries are sooo delicious, and the service is great! Definitely 10/10Vegetarian options: This is a vegan bakery.Kid-friendliness: Very sweet and patient with my daughter while she decided on what she wanted“
“Fantastic American lunch spot! I had the chicken sandwich and the sriracha mayo was just immaculate. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great and we were seated right away without any reservation. The staff and servers were also very kind and helpful throughout our meal! Would recommend to anyone wanting a good lunch in Manhattan!“
“I enjoyed the avocado toast, with two fried eggs (extra) (they don't do poached). Nothing fancy, nothing catchy. When it came out I prejudged and was thinking, oh hmm, this might not be good. But overall the avocado and the eggs were good enough for a 4⭐, and I think the two things that helped to push it over the edge to 5⭐ were the bread and the pickled peppers. In particular the pickled peppers added a little bit of sweetness and a little kick. Pleasant surprise.Matcha latte was reasonable and not remarkable -- lacking in latte art but slightly making up for it in portion. Also, could have been sifted/whisked some more because there were lumpy chunks at the bottom. Nevertheless I won't let this pull down the 5⭐ for food.~10am on a rainy Sunday morning but the place was almost full. And there was a robust pickup / delivery business.“
“Definitely lived up to the social media hype and no doubt best tavern burger in Queens. One can choose any burger on their extensive burger menu with a side of fries or onion rings for less than 20 bucks, it’s a deal I’m willing to sign up for every day.We went on a Thursday late afternoon and place was energetic and lively, just what you expect from a well-known busy tavern. I can only imagine what it’s like on weekends when they have live band.Donovan’s is the real deal.“
“The food here is delicious! So much so that it was all I could think about hours after leaving the restaurant (no joke)!One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Staff members are very kind and attentive. I recommend the tomato soup and the bulgogi tacos!“

“My two nieces and I popped in this morning on our way to the Natural History Museum. I’ll admit I was hesitant but thankfully I listened to my nieces! I had the avocado and eggs in a crepe, which was the best gluten-free sandwich I have ever had. Did not miss the bread at all. My 14 year old chose the Nutella crepe with banana and the 9 ounce Açaí bowl. Oldest selected one of the big bowls … it was a work of art. Highly recommend and we will be back on our next trip. All the best on your growth plans!“
“Für mich die besten Cookies in NYC. Zudem gibt es ein paar vegane Optionen. Je nach Besuchszeit (z.B. Samstag- oder Freitagabend) muss man 15 Minuten oder so anstehen. Unter der Woche und unter dem Tag ist es aber in der Regel nicht ganz so gut besucht.Vegetarian options: Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookie“
“Great addition to the UES. Excellent food, try the prosuitto, fig and melon appetizer if they have it. The carpaccio was so good and the deserts! The wait staff was very attentive and refilled our water glasses often. The owner was lovely and sweet. I will be back with my family soon.“
“The pastries are NOT very sweet (good point in my opinion) and the coffee is very delicious, different from most of the coffee shops in the city that tend to have a burnt taste.The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed, good music to sit quietly.“

“What a fantastic meal. Extra special if you avoid gluten but still go, even if you eat gluten. Started with amazing calamari (since I don't eat gluten, I hadn't had this in decades) served with side of tomato sauce, branzino (couldn't be any better and we shared molten cake with ice cream and an Eclair. The waiter was very helpful with suggestions and the room was great with high ceilings and chandeliers with some lively music playing.“
“Continued with my pizza cravings this season and stopped by this place recommended by my friend. Clearly it is known for their guilty-pleasure gluten-free pizza and their unique fried pizzas (which I didn’t get).The place seems to quite spacious with an open kitchen in the back featuring a red brick stone oven for pizza baking. Monday noon is not busy at all so we did walk-ins and got seated right away.Pistachio & SalsicciaIt features mozzarella, pistachio pesto, sausage, pecorino romano, basil. We had never had pistachio pesto before so we were intrigued to try. The basil on top and the extra virgin olive oil’s flavors didn’t fall short in comparison to pesto and sausage. I got hints of pistachio but not much from eating this pizza. The sausages were crumbly and fell kinda everywhere when I cut the pizza. The flavor is new, just not impressive.RicottaGot a lighter pizza to hopefully offset the other heavier one. It is indeed light, but I didn’t get too much from tomato sauce: I didn’t get the acidity or tanginess or sweetness, it is like my eyes were telling me I was eating a pizza rosse but my taste buds said otherwise. The ricotta was nice and creamy even after being torched. But after the pizza got colder, the ricotta didn’t want to be stay with the pizza dough anymore.I didn’t like one particular thing: they delivered both pizzas at the same time to the table and the pistachio & salsiccia pizza was a bit colder, so the cheese started to harden and there were no stretch of the mozzarella.I loved about one thing: the chewiness and the bounecyness of their crust. I wouldn’t say they have the lightest crust (compared to the other Naple style pizza places I have eaten), but their crust is the most mochi-like one. I started to wonder what flour they used to develop that much gluten. Really good crust which I am willing to eat alone or pair with maybe some dip everyday, subjectively speaking.I feel like I probably need to try some other flavors to possibly re-evaluate this place. The truffle and mushroom pizzas are still waving their hands at me.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pizza offered.“
“What a lovely breakfast place in the heart of NYC. Quite small place but there is a seating area outside also. We waited on the line maybe 5mins! Super fast service and helpful staff. Delicious food to start the day ?? we had a bagel and avocado toast and a couple coffees $75 incl tips.“
“We live in nearby Dobbs Ferry, we have came by a few times for special occasions (birthdays, valentines, etc) and have not been disappointed. I wasn’t sure if Gluten Free, Non-Dairy and Kosher would taste different, for their cakes you hardly notice any difference than one that is not those things. It’s not an inexpensive place as evident by their locations but you get an excellent product from them which makes them worth going to.“
“At first, we thought it would be a bad idea to come with three kids. However, this place turned out to be kid-friendly and we did not feel unwelcome. Baked Carrot Salad honestly would be our least favorite. Large chunks of carrots and avocado. Not enough flavor. Not sure what was the original idea about. Chrisendemum salad would be our most favorite. Fresh, colorful land and right-seasoned. Delicious! Beets salad was ok. The pasta bolognese was freshly made, and very good too. Kids had burger, kids pasta, and pizza(mozzarella and basil). We end up having too orders of pizza. So good it was. For dessert, we had carrot cake with supper delicious buttermilk sorbet. THIS ONE IS A BOmb!!!! And also we had homemade ice cream, which was also very good. We had very good experience in this place and looking to come back.“
“Delicious food and drinks. And even more the terrific host and his great team made us feel very welcome from the first second on.Thanks to PK and your whole team for a memorable evening at your restaurant. It was a sheer pleasure for all six of us.“
“This is honestly the best burger spot in NYC! The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. There’s so many varieties of burgers to choose from even if you’re vegan and/or have allergies. Great friendly service and the ambience is really cool and modern, especially since the restaurant is like in the cut. Would totally recommend to anyone. Perfect Happy Hour spot!!! ? ?“
“We tried many different bagel places on a recent trip to New York, but this was the best by far! The bagels were delicious. We tried many different flavours of bagels and cream cheeses and they were all good. Really filling. The line moves quick. The croissant was really good too! Would definitely recommend.“
“I'm really grateful to Bradley Bake Shop for fulfilling my last-minute cupcake and cake order. The kids absolutely loved them, especially my daughter, who can't stop praising how delicious they were. This bakery has been my favorite spot since my daughter was born. The owner is incredibly kind and always looks after their customers. A big thank you!Dietary restrictions: No peanut, nuts“
