Justin W.: Try the Whaleys Burger - Another smash hit of juicy beef and perfectly prepared toppings on a fresh roll. Outstanding option at one of my favorite places in NYC
Kim Pham: Uber trendy, but totally worth it. Truffle fries are absolutely perfect.
Noah Weiss: One of my favorite hearty salads in Soho is the roast vegetable salad with roast pumpkin, peppers, goat cheese, pine nuts, and arugula.

Vietnamese Restaurant · East Village · 99 tips and reviews
Allie Caldwell: Delicious pho, tasty fresh rolls!
Village Voice: The pho is the best in town, with a light broth barely scented with spices. The house signature variety features brisket, eye of round, and beef balls. Read more.
Village Voice: Robert Sietsema is convinced that Sao Mai may be the best Vietnamese restaurant New Yorkers have. Keep an eye out for the goi bo, banh cuon, and for all you naysayers, give the pho a shot.

Time Out New York: Try the beef with chili. Wok-charred beef is tossed w/ kafir lime leaves & green beans, then bathed in a orange-tinted sauce of turmeric & Thai chilies. It’s one of our #100best dishes & drinks 2011. Read more.

Sandwich Spot · Little Italy · 197 tips and reviews
Dan Young: Veggie tip: 6a - mock chicken curry banh mi is awesome good - must have if you're veg* - can be vegan without vietnamese mayo.
BuzzFeed: The only place in New York to get Bahn Mi. Not literally, of course,but the sandwiches here are so far ahead of others sharing the samename that it's not really fair to call them both Bahn Mi. Get
Jose Simbulan: Get there "early" before they run out of bread. But if they do, ask if they will be gearing up for another round of banh mi making. If so, you can reserve a sandwich for later.
