Gigi T: New England Clam Chowder and fresh lobster is a must!
Dmitriy S: Get the New England clam chowder, the Naked Cowboy oysters, and a weisbeer. Leaves happy.

Eric Edgington: Best New England Clam Chowder in NY!
Rosa An: The Taste of Maine is a great way to taste the lobster, shrimp, and crab rolls. Grab a tasty blueberry soda and the salt and vinegar chips. The lobster bisque is delicious and chock full of lobster
Stephanie: Best deal in town: Lobster Roll, Chips, Pickle and Soda. Not to mention, buy 10 rolls and the 11th is free. Not hard to do
Colin O'Donnell: New England clam chowder. - awesome, but don't plan on doing much the rest of the day.
Grace S.: Delish Intelligentsia iced coffee and some other interesting items on the menu like iced raspberry mochas. They also use Hudson Valley milk and carry Balthazar bakery pastries.
The Corcoran Group: Love the scones and the tuna, and the always-delicious iced coffee. Sadly this location isn't open on the weekends, so you'll have to get your fix during the week.
Anna Jay: Their egg sandwiches are the best in this neighborhood. Also they have an incredible selection of drinks. Note: cash only.
Joe D: Order a 2-egg Bacon Egg & Cheese and you will be delighted. Bacon so crispy...
Patrick Butler: This is the best NYC neighborhood deli you could ask for. Always friendly, great over-stuffed sandwiches, fresh chips and open late. Ah.... chelsea livin!
Ben Kay: A gem to visit. So firstly yes it's a cosy affair. Tables super close together (let's call it intimate). Staff equally intimate in a laid back, cooking for friends style. Incredible burger. Best ever?
Mark Heyert: Excellent tater tots, crab cakes, beet salad, and the bartenders are sweet and funny.
Michael Witbrock: Cocktails, old fashioned wedge salad, steak

Ramen Restaurant · Hell's Kitchen · 189 tips and reviews
Eater: Home to some of the city’s best paitan ramen, a tonkotsu-like preparation that involves a chicken broth so opaque with fat it nearly takes on the appearance of New England clam chowder. Read more.
Hailey Heewoo Kim: spicy paitan ramen with an egg is the way to go for a warm wintertime meal. also works as a perfect hangover cure :)
DailyCandy: Totto Ramen’s original ramen shop in Hell’s Kitchen is notorious for its hours-long wait and no-reservations policy. Avoid the hassle at the newly opened location (just a block away).

Seafood Restaurant · SoHo · 402 tips and reviews
Michelle: The oysters are great. I had the New England clam chowder and it was creamy and spot on. Great service in a cutesy environment- feels like what an airplane should be! A little noisy for day dates
Alana: Very cool decor, like the inside of a yacht. Good service, good restaurant week menu. Amazing desserts. Pricey. Interesting mix of cool crowd (obviously, Soho) and suits.
Felix Salmon: Wifi password is fishbar142
Margaret McConnell: Everything is organic and amazing. It's cheaper than Whole Foods. The staff knows their products & are always helpful & friendly! A++++!
Zachary Adam Cohen: Smells like hippies and amniotic fluid here. Their apple cider vinegar is fun for enemas. Watch out for blind gypsys. They steal ur wallet.
BluePrint: Standing ovation for Westerly Natural Market's convenient location and abundance of healthy treats. We love stopping in for a refreshing pre- or post- theatre BluePrintJuice!

Seafood Restaurant · West Village · 81 tips and reviews
Eater: The menu features East Coast seafood favorites. Look for cherrystone clams stuffed with pancetta, roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon and peanuts, fried rice with seafood and pork belly.
Tasting Table: The restaurant's soft lighting, reflect off a gorgeous arched tiled ceiling, as you twirl strands of linguine studded with tomato sauce and clams ($21). Try their awesome appetizers too. Read more.
Noah Weiss: Brunch is great. Get the poached eggs with peekytoe crab over fresh biscuits. Bonus: takes reservations.
