Andrea Hong: French onion soup grilled cheese, holy crap. Get the slushies or ask the bartender to make you something with tequila - it will be awesome / you'll stumble out happy.
Amanda Schneider: Grilled cheese is good but doesn't live up to the hype. Try the brussel sprout salad and the slushy of the day!
Kevin Keating: Good food in not-too-large portions, perfect for saving space for all the slushies you'll want to drink.

Cin Mohr: Try the lychee soju slush!! Yumm
M Bytz: Unique, luscious takes on ramen. Try the fusion dishes and as many tapas as you can afford. When it's in season, the soju-spiked yuzu slushie is the most refreshing - and addictive - drink in town.
Curtis Shoung: Pork buns and ramen of course. But also got the pig tails and green tea slush and those were really nice surprises.

C. Stewart: Watermelon basil slushie is perfect for a hot summer day!
Arthur Danskin: Best cafe in the neighborhood. OK place to work with WiFi and power, but often people having distracting meetings and not many good seats. Decent coffee. Really good almond and spice cookies.
Ryan J: Really cool place full of interesting thrift items and of course coffee and treats

Kushal Dave: Great cocktails, home made soda, and boozy slushies (need to come back on a hot day!)
Roger Steve Ruiz: A fan of Resin? Me too. That double IPA and 9.1% is great. Though, this place has a Kelso IPA made in Brooklyn at 12% for $6. Drink friends!
Anna Frenkel: There is only ONE (unisex) bathroom so if you take too long, drunk people will try to hurt you.

ZenFoodster: Boba tea shop in UES w/ the BEST MUST-TRY Taiwanese (Garlic dark-meat) POPCORN CHICKEN, (summer only) fresh Watermelon “Sugar High” Slushy, Grapefruit or Strawberry @ 30% sweet (w/o caloric boba)!
Andrew C: Nothing special, but plenty of options and choices... kind of pricey - especially since they charge extra to add the bubbles ($.50)!!!
Hillel: Bubble tea and popcorn chicken.
COOLHAUS: There's not as many choices as the Hester Street Fair on Saturdays, but the atmosphere can't be beat here at night! Check out our friends Kelvin Slush who are stationed there for a refreshing treat!
Jennifer Nguyen: Crawfish, gumbo, & jambalaya balls were my favs
Mailee Creacy: Avoid the wooden benches. Make a game out of trying to determine which chairs are bolted down.
