Noah W. • July 2, 2023Faves: hams and zeppoli, fennel & grapefruit, clam toast, tortellini, pasta in pink clam sauce, duck, and “affogato” decomposed dessert. Perfect martini was perfect. Good vibes, almost over the top.

Omar • November 2, 2023If you’re hungry; simply order (The Nozawa Trust Me) you’re welcome!

Ahmad أحــمـــد • August 2, 2021Best Blue Bottle (BB) in town. This Soho-located BB is spacious, with lots of workstations, and sofas (this BB is kinda infused with a nearby hotel. U can use the hotel reception’s seating area+WCs).

Benton Y. • June 11, 2016Great location with seating upstairs. Kale Caesar is my go to, but also try the seasonals.

Eric A. • July 18, 2019One of the great new restaurants in NYC. The gruyere fritters and cauliflower snacks were delicious! Had the Caramele Pasta and Bronzino which were both excellent too. Save room for desert!

Ursula T. • January 14, 2017Get the ribeye and Tempranillo. Split the burger as an appetizer. Wait service is impressive - thank you to Johnny to making us feel like home from the moment we walked in.

The Food Sluts • June 26, 2012One of the best places in NYC, both in terms of quality and value. Try the tavern for great cuisine at an excellent price. We loved the monkfish with citrus salad ($22) & the ricotta cheesecake ($9).

Pouya • December 13, 2022Delicious cocktail: “cardamom + golden kiwi” . Unique presentation cocktail: “grapefruit” and “nightcap” (only served after 9:00 pm and only good as the last drink)

Frank R. • March 10, 2017Great addition to the NYU neighborhood! Great sandwiches. Oh, and they sell Quisp!!

Bennet G. • October 11, 2019Unreal homemade flour and corn tortillas. Best tacos in NYC! Try the queso taco from the secret menu!

kate w. • October 10, 2020I tried every flavor cookie and the chocolate explosion (crinkle cookie meets brownie) is the best. Chocolate chip cookie second. Most forgettable/skipable is the brown butter & bourbon.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍ • January 8This is everyone's favorite ice cream for good reason. They churn their ice cream on-site & they're constantly rotating flavors & specials. Don't be intimidated by the long line, it moves really quick
