Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Alphabet City, New York

Vicki B. • April 28, 2019Eight seat, fixed seating, open kitchen tempura omakase with French-influenced appetizers and dessert. Great experience.

Brendan C. • September 7, 2012Excellent always changing tap menu and incredible cheese selection. Ask for a taste of the "Aussie magic" and take some home!

Trevor S. • April 1, 2010Best breakfast sandwich in city. Egg white bacon cheese on English muffin. Or sub sausage. The best.

Barbara J. • August 24, 2018Great happy hour wine and light bites!! Cute decor, and has four window seats. Good place for a date

Taylor W. • July 23, 2019Dive bar version of flower shop. Very fun on the weekends - 70s disco vibe

F. B. • November 12, 2019Comparable to Hanoi House and Madame Vo, but better than both. Enjoyed Shaking Beef, Banh Beo steamed rice bowls and Dragon Rice Plate. Warm, genuine service. Modern, understated design. A winner.

Nick R. • July 1, 2012I usually don't leave tips places but the bartenders/owners are so nice and the cocktails are spectacular. Have them recommend you a drink with your favorite spirit!

James John (Jay) C. • March 16, 2018Amazing crab pasta dish. And deviled eggs.

DoubleDeuce • July 11, 2017Wonderful biscuits and gravy. I love this place. It's probably not ideal for more than two though, based on the seating arrangements (mostly a long bar). It's very busy on the weekends.

Loren • September 18, 2016Hidden gem. All the ingredients are high quality and fresh, and great value for the low price.Stumptown coffee. Only downside is it can be hard to get a seat. Pls don't bring your laptop :/

Chelsea M. • October 28, 2016The cavatelli special was delicious and so was the kale Caesar to start! Their pasta is homemade and it makes all the difference! Next time I go I will have to get the rigatoni.

Valentin G. • July 27, 2015A really cool sake bar where you can also grab a bite, good vibe here!

Ellie R. • July 3, 2016Super authentic! Empanadas are a MUST and best washed down with a Quilmes!

Maxwell Z. • November 8, 2010Go for the 1/2 chicken, yellow rice, and black beans. At 8 bucks, it must be one of the best deals in the area. Also, BYOB.

Doroulini • May 24, 2018Fantastic fried chicken!! We tried a plate of chicken tenders and a sandwich with mac n cheese on the side! Small place but good service.

Eric T. • August 24, 2014Love the speakeasy feel and the extensive craft beer selection on tap.

WillMcD • April 14, 2009prob the best coffee in the city. $$ but really good. get the americano

Sean L. • March 7, 2012Love this wine bar... I think it maybe our new favourite haunt. It reminded me of Rome. Great selection of Italian wines and the service and atmosphere was just excellent. Love it!

Scy D. • January 22, 2020Recommend the bruxelles - very crispy - the quinoa arancini - insanely good - and scallops and octopus and donuts for dessert!

Brian S. • November 27, 2023Uncrowded early. Excellent drip and espresso coffee

Ernesto G. • July 11, 2015Spicy drink lovers: Hong Kong ... and the rum roll. Great drinks over all. Bartenders know what they are doing.

David H. • August 16, 2014New place on Ave B serves specialty tins of select fish and seafood in seasoned oils. Comes with warm pitas and butter for dipping and sharing - fantastic. I labeled the tins for the curious.

DoubleDeuce • August 18, 2018Quirky little spot. Sneak in for a discount coffee and some thoughtful design and decoration.

Selena N. • April 30, 2017Absolutely amazing place!! I went here with some friends and we absolutely loved it! For $8 bucks a pop, not bad at all for this special treat! 🍨 Be warned though, you might wait a while for it.

DoubleDeuce • August 28, 2023Lots of great vibes here. Great planning on the decor and the ceiling with the design on "dive bar". Definitely a Friday/Saturday night energy spot.
