Carlos Ramos: Campfire, Supreme, and Creme Brûlée cupcakes, mason jar flans and cheesecakes are amazing! Jumbo Chocolate Chunk cookies are huge and a delicious bargain. They make very nice birthday cakes, too.
Lenny Gallo: Surprisingly amazing cupcakes. Try the Carrot Cake.
George Ranalli: For a delicious and beautiful freshly baked treat, try Huascar & Co Bakeshop’s cupcakes and special occasion cakes.

James Kiernan: What a menu! Has something for everyone, including an indulgent fried chicken sandwich, flatbreads, steaks, seafood and sides. Fun, energetic vibe.
Zayed Khan: The cocktails are pretty well balanced. Highlight of the menu is probably the "Tall Order" which pulled off the lemon-y green tea flavours really well. The "Quick Draw" was also pleasant.
Michael Natale: Service was not the best but not poor. Food was good. Try the Caesar salad, the fried tomatoes, sauteed greens, and either the hanger steak or brick chicken as the main dish.
Tom DiMaggio: An upper east side gem, excellent list of rotating craft beers on tap, great food. Come during daytime happy hour for cheap prices!
The Wall Street Journal: The Jeffrey Craft Beer & Bites is one of those places where even hard-core beer geeks may not know every offering on the draft list. Read more.
Brew York: Patrick Donagher has done it again. 30 rotating tap lines at two bars, growler fills, well-executed food, and a big backyard. Grab an NY brew ($5 from 11-7) and marvel at the bad-ass draft system.

Rob Jackson: Unusually cool downtown vibe on the Upper East at The Penrose! Awesome bartenders, unique (and delicious) cocktails. Great interior design. Great with friends or a date.
Brendan Clancy: Another loud filament light bulb filled gastropub employing the failsafe method to young professionals wallets of fried pickles, artisanal drinks, mac and cheese and tiles. Tear for Ship of Fools...
Sarah-Jane Purvis: Oyster slides are pretty gross. Taste of the ocean....not in a good way. Didn't make me horny either.
