Anthony Townsend: oyster happy hour until 7 $1 each and the pinot gris, a red wine fit for the shellfish

Argentinian Restaurant · Lower East Side · 47 tips and reviews
Ambreen Molitor: If you're looking for a carb-free meal (or just incredible food), start with the burrata and ensalada verde. The carnes are all promising as well.
The New Yorker: Amelia Lester on the Argentine steak house: “Go with someone who loves you: the steaks come with a head of roasted garlic on the side, and there’s more in the chorizo.” Read more.
Ranu Rajkarnikar: Friendly service and great food in a beautiful space. Try the empanadas, ribeye steak and salmon crudo. You can get wine in a glass or carafe. Hidden gem!

Mon: The braised short rib hash is to die for, I will keep dreaming about it everyday for the rest of my life.
Zach Hamed: Hidden gem on Upper West Side with American/Mediterranean cuisine. Chicken, risotto, and codfish all delicious. Beautiful high ceilings and old fashioned decor.

Sake Bar · Lower East Side · 14 tips and reviews
Tom: Great selection of wine and sake. Yoshiko is very knowledgable and knows how to entertain. Great for a full meal, snack or just a drink. Very comfortable ambience.
MoRiza: Get the ribs, and in the summertime, the sashimi ceviche. Along with those great sake flights.
Ernesto Gutierrez: No sake carafes available. You pretty much have to go all in with the bottle.

French Restaurant · West Village · 533 tips and reviews
Suresh: Truly authentic Parisian feel. Alsace Pinot Gris = delicious. Waiting for a table = not so delicious.
Maria Nardone: Now open for weekend Brunch. Come early! Smoked trout roe steamed eggs are delicately delish! Hard to choose smoked salmon or prosciutto. All terrific!
Time Out New York: French-leaning small plates can be cobbled together to compose an excellent & affordable meal here. Try the classic croque madame ($10) or the brandade ($9), a pot of featherlight whipped salt cod. Read more.

Gothamist: The legendary Rainbow Room is reopening today. There will be a festive Sunday brunch in addition to Monday night dinners with live performances open to the public. Sun, 10/5. Read more.
Meredith Blechman: The much-hyped re-opening did not disappoint. The space offers the most incredible view of the city that never sleeps. The staff was incredibly attentive - service rivaled a Danny Meyer restaurant
Morgan McKee: Food and drinks very good. Try the Elle Corazon, tasty tequila with passion fruit and pomegranate juice that makes you feel good about drinking it 😜
Erin Shea: Best place to watch a movie!
Sylvia Reed: Best place to watch a special film. Really worth it for the sound system- and the food is tasty, wine list is good, served quietly and quickly.
Serious Eats: Solid menu of American classics and excellent cocktails; a great bet for a pre- or post-show meal.
The Wall Street Journal: Options include the pickle plate and marinated olives, as well as peekytoe crab rolls, which are more like sliders, and ruby red shrimp tacos. Read more.
Maxwell Z: When you enter the lobby of The Public Theater, hang a left and go up the stairs. At the end of the staircase you'll find this hidden Andrew Carmellini restaurant.
