Cole Kennedy: You don’t have to be hungover to love the Hangover Sandwich. The tart remoulade and pickles is the perfect contrast to the rich and salty roast beef.
Alex Hunter: Exactly what the EV has needed. Great options from light (like the couscous salad) to heavy (my husband loves the hangover sandwich, and cool vibes. The potatoes come with a remoulade I could bath in.
Aline Velter: The pickled herring and the smoked salmon smørrebrød are delicious! Also the roasted potatoes 🙌

GourmetLive: There are now four Dinosaur outposts around the state, including one in Harlem, which offers appetizers like smoked shrimp remoulade and classics like brisket that’s smoked over hickory for about 12 h
Village Voice: Order the fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, which has that smokey BBQ flavor with a spicy twist.
JP: Best BBQ in NYC. The best ribs and brisket, very good pulled pork. Try the Mac & cheese, whipped sweet potatoes, and Syracuse salt potatoes as sides. Oh, not to mention the cornbread... So delicious

Tracy Krupitzer: The cocktails are amazing. And get the fries. Just... Just get the fries.
Concert Ticket Agency: A must for all Broadway fans! From Ben Vereen to Patti LuPone. Food/drink minimum, but the small plates are delicious. Not a bad seat in the house, staff is very accommodating and performance-friendly
Andrea Mathias: The perfect place for a first date, catch up with friends, or just to slip away from reality for a while. Also, I will do bad things to get my hands on some of their truffle Mac & Cheese.

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!
