Burger Joint · Flatiron District · 287 tips and reviews
jenny benevento: Everything is the same price, and if you get the burger you're being ripped off. I've yet to have their lobster roll but the lobster was great! Special lemon butter is the best.
Jaimee Estreller: The best damn value in the city. $20 gets me a grilled or steamed lobster (get grilled) w/ lemon butter, fries, and a salad. If you are with peeps, 100% get a table burger to share (they cut it too!)
Jill C: The lobster here is so good and the lemon butter sauce is outtathisworld. Worth the wait if there is one.

Eaters Heaven: Lobster, shrimp and crab roll - all good. Today was a bit too much lemon butter on my lobster roll, but normally always great!
Kat Karimi: Their rolls are amazing. The best in town. The lobster is pretty damn good, too. Get a Schooner special w/ ginger brew and salt + vinegar chips and you're set.
Village Voice: Village Voice is excited to have Luke's Lobster at the 2012 ChoiceEats food fest! Full list of restaurants here: http://ow.ly/8QjDQ
Alyson Spina: Homemade pastas, bread baskets & sauces are all delicious. An authentic, ambient Italian restaurant. Enjoy a great meal for reasonable $. Much more elegant than a pizzeria, but w same hearty feeling.
Brendan Clancy: 50% off any bottle of wine. Su, Mon or Tue
Lee Hoffman: Excellent chicken parm, very reasonably priced. You have to order pasta as a side.

Lorraine S: Lovely French bistro! Have brunch on the patio! You get a delicious basket of pastries. Great cappucinos & the eggs Benny was delish. Make sure you get the homefries!
heather pink: This is the most underated restarant in the city. The steak tartare is probably the best in the country. I've never had a bad meal here. Also, I've never had an issue with the servers being rude.
Gansevoort Hotel Group: The BEST Steak Tartare in town!

Liza Ramsammy: My favorite cupcakes in the city ... Can't go wrong with the original vanilla on vanilla or red velvet. The banana pudding is to die for also!
Tarrah: Red Velvet cupcake is by far the best in the city!! I also suggest the Peanut Butter & Jelly cupcake- jelly filled with peanut butter frosting ;) Read more.
New York Habitat: Get the banana pudding and some red velvet cupcakes. Eat it all in one sitting, rinse, repeat.

French Restaurant · Central Harlem · 65 tips and reviews
Vianney Brandicourt: Great for dinner in the summer. Sit outside (side-by-side, Parisian style) for people watching. Gambas al' ajillo are very tasty. If starving, the Mac'N'Cheese will hold you over until the entrees.
Nicola Medrano: Mustafa is the most gracious, humble & efficient waiter. Tuna tar tar, tuna nicoise, shrimp app.. Amazing. Service & food is amazing!! A++++!!
Harlem Ambassador: The Francophiles say it isn't French, then again, they say that about everything. A casual spot which is a perfect "hide & seek" from the madness of Shrine next door. Great for drinks and lite bites.

Alex Zaltsman: Excellent swordfish. Good place to bring the family. Restaurant is very accommodating toward kids. Overall food quality is very good and the service was excellent.
Lynnette: / Grilled tomatoes are to die for as a lamb pairing! I'll definitely be coming back for more delicious Greek food.
Jairo Hoyos: Solid tips from others. In addition, try the snapper and if Olga's tending bar her espresso martinis are awesome!

Krishna Ram: Free potato chips, great bartenders, best of the UES crowd!
New York Habitat: Not quite a dive bar but certainly not an upscale joint, just a good local spot. They've got pool, darts, and even a basketball game to pass the time. Plus who can argue with free potato chips?
Teresa W: Mick and Jimmy: my favorite bartenders in all of NYC.
