Adrienne Petrino: The best lemon meringue pie of my life!
Gillian BenAry: chef is Andrew Carmellini. Totally packed, so reservations are essential. Killer wine list, great raw bar, fantastic food and stellar people watching. A good place to feel the energy of NY. Open late
Time Out New York: Try the little oyster sandwiches. Sesame-speckled buns each cradle one fat, crispy mollusk, iceberg lettuce and a smear of pickled okra sauce. They’re one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.
Lauren: Best diner on the UES. Solid staples: eggs, home fries, wraps, etc. Great service & staff, too.
Ruben Brosbe: The York Ave is without a doubt the best item on a very solid menu
Anna Osgoodby: One of my favorite diners around the UES. The staff is great, the menu selection can't be beat and the food is delicious!

Bon: Spaghetti Bolognese was there exact meaty red sauce one would want. Kale pesto, don't do it. Kale is not for pesto. Artichoke arancini were great although not too choke-y. Great windowfront table.

John McCrory: Probably my favorite diner in the city. The burgers are charbroiled. Great with a thick chocolate shake.
Corey Crago: It's a diner; it's cheap, it's good, and it's in New York. There aren't enough places like this left.
Max Rodriguez: Comfort food...popular with locals and blue collar types.
Fay Shapiro: Best service. Best bagels. Best lox.
Creighton DeSimone: Pastrami sandwich is fantastic here. Worth checking out.
Real Cheap Eats: Try the Souper Soup. "Sitting in the heady chicken broth, which demands no salt, are a hearty beef kreplach, noodles and a gigantic matzoh ball that straddles the line between floater and sinker." Read more.
Amanda L: The Feuilleté is incredible. Strong champagne list. Breezy, fun vibes. I love both locations, but the Soho spot is my favorite.
Benjy Weinberger: Surprisingly good food for what seems like a tourist trap. The burrata was a standout.
Shohini Gupta: Great rose and charcuterie, truffle Mac and cheese
