Jenny Ung: My go-to: Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, Gaspe Nova, tomato, red onion. THE BEST
Travel + Leisure: The classic bagel sandwich—Scottish smoked salmon, cream cheese, and red onion on a poppy-seed bagel—is an essential New York bite. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c
TastyMontreal: Try the Smoked Salmon Bagel - Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, red onions and Scottish smoked salmon, delicious!

Indian Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 119 tips and reviews
Nicole Marcellini: Not only the famous Chapli Roll (minced lamb roll, red onions, lime and fried eggs) is really delicious, the prices are down to earth and the Service is very smart! Just stop by!
Real Cheap Eats: The bhel pori ($5.50) isn’t for the faint of heart. Heartier than a salad, it clears your sinuses with a tart, spicy mix of chutneys and lime juice, then kicks in some red onion on the back end. Read more.
Real Cheap Eats: Try the okra roll. Tossed on the grill with red onion & bell pepper, then seasoned with cilantro, lime juice & green chilies, the okra is tangy, spicy and subtly sweet, with a distinctly smoky edge. Read more.

Salad Restaurant · Financial District · 45 tips and reviews
Kimmie Ohh: Order their guacamole greens! The salad comes with organic mesclun, avocado, roasted chicken, red onion, tomatoes, tortilla chips, fresh lime squeeze & lime cilantro jalapeno vinaigrette :)
Honghui Yu: Great place to grab a quick bite to eat. Their salads are better than what you'd get at Chopt or Just Salad, but my favorite thing to get here is one of their amazing warm bowls.
Susan S.: Most legit salad place! The sweet potatoes are amazing and the squash is great too! Huge portions.
Polina Weitz: Great bagel spot! Their lox is delicious and the delux (with cream cheese, lox, tomato, red onions and capers) is awesome.
Ryan Campbell: Be prepared for a line, but it moved pretty fast. Cash only, and a little pricey, but the options are endless and portions are pretty big. Can't go wrong with anything here really.
Gianna Nebbia: Fabulous chipotle chicken salad

James L: For the sake of my arteries, I am going to stay away. But I'll miss the burger that was a greasy, delicious mess. Waffle fries were decent. The Emmy pizza had a nice balance of ranch and red onions.
Will Huguenin: Detroit may be my new favorite style of pizza — lighter than Chicago but more substantial than New York. Get the hot chicken pizza!
Elizabeth Burstein: Had a bite of bradys vodka from uber eats - delicious ! Bit salty though

Italian Restaurant · Yorkville · 21 tips and reviews
Ross Sheingold: Green beans, diced tomatoes & red onions in balsamic vinegar = perfect Springtime appetizer. The gnocchi is light and delicious. Best Italian on the Upper East Side? Limited seating - book in advance.
Swiss In Hong Kong 🇨🇭🇭🇰: Ask the chief Giuseppe, what's his recommendation. We ate about 5 dishes, everything was absolutely great. Nice Italian restaurant!
Francesca Grima: Most amazing Italian food! Make sure you bring cash as they don't accept cards. Don't forget to try the lamb chops

Seafood Restaurant · West Village · 81 tips and reviews
Gabriel Hayes: The Brooklyn Burrata & Local Grapes salad is great. Made with arugula, pickled red onions, almonds and served with a baguette.
Jenn Coughlin: The Mexican corn was amazing. The lobster salad and fried clams sliders though... first off they were mixed, which was weird. And as a New Englander I was upset to see red onion in the lobster salad.
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.

Cuban Restaurant · Chelsea · 507 tips and reviews
Real Cheap Eats: Roast pork and garlicky mojo in a pan con lechon would be enough on their own, but the addition of chicharrones pushes the porcine quotient over the top, while pickled red onions cut all that richness Read more.
Albert Tong: Must get the Lomo Saltado - Peruvian stir fry beef short ribs, red onions, tomatoes, fries with a light soy sauce, ginger, sambal and rice. Meat melts in mouth and packed with flavor. #nom
Shelby Knox: Highly recommend the Alitas 100 Curtis, chicken wings with a chocolate chipotle glaze, the chopped chicharron salad and the Hemmingway cocktail. A neighborhood fave with reasonable prices & fun vibe.
Ms Helene: Poached shrimp salad with egg, feta, red onion, mushroom and bacon vinegar $24. Mimosa $15. Fun and relaxed vibe.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: A hidden gem in NYC and one of the most fabulous cocktail bars in city with an exquisite decor, artful cocktails and knowlegeable bartenders. Food is solid and includes some healthy options too
Jason Liszka: This is a @naveen kind of place. If your cheekbones are as glorious as his, you should go here.

Evan Mulvihill: Amazeballs sandies here. Had the fried chicken on a biscuit with gravy and pickled red onion: to die for.
Wendy Sung: Get the classic chicken biscuit sandwich. Juicy chicken filet nestled between two warm, perfectly baked biscuits and dressed in gravy and slaw. You can literally taste the love
Anoop Ranganath: The buttermilk biscuit with fried chicken, cole slaw, and gravy is the best I've had in New York

What's Good Here: Try the Khao Soi, the Burmese influenced signature dish of Chiang Mai - Northern Thai egg noodles in a rich curry broth, chicken, shrimp, red onions & dried shallots, topped with crispy noodles.
Talia DiLandro: Chic, cozy new bar in HK. Drinks were nice to look at and even better to taste. Service is good and friendly, even complimentary lemon drops, thank you! HK welcomes VIV to the neighborhood : )
Christopher LeBron: The Spicy Noodle Kee-Mao is off the charts.
