Classic, a must visit bakery with the best canoli in the city. So beautiful at Christmas time! We've been going for years. You cannot go wrong with anything in this bakery. It is a little on the pricier side, but it is well worth it. I always visit at least once a year. You can sit down inside or out and eat in or you can take away. Highly recommend! It's been around since 1892, that should tell you something!!

On the counter there was a stand telling us the cheesecake was 10 dollar when eating inside. But when we sat down and ordered we saw is was 15 dollar. For 1 piece of cake. It was good, but a piece of cake is never worth 15 dollar. If you’re on a budget, don’t sit inside. The food is delicious.

Such a delight to stop in here. We were shocked to find an open table around lunch time. Caffe mocha was very chocolatey but could have been hotter. The lemon meringue tart was super tart and sweet in the best way. Awesome. Their chocolate gelato was a little salty in a way that I really enjoyed.

Ferrara’s is a Little Italy classic. I typically only go in for takeout but this time a friend and I decided to sit down for a little treat. Everything was great (espresso martini was just okay) and the staff was polite but not very attentive. Overall, this place is a must go for traditional Italian American treats.

What a place! Without a doubt the best NY style cheesecake I’ve had, definitely worth the visit. The shop is small but very cosy, especially around the holidays. Plenty of offerings in all sorts of pastries, cakes and other sweets. We will we back!

To start things of --> go there on Friday at 1am that's when you will have the best time there but nevertheless it is always a good place to go as my buddies and I used to say "Let's go Home...... Sweet Home!" (It's an insider now). Great drinks and great dancefloor even that you have an option to hang your coats somewhere without paying even tho you take the risk of them getting stolen but I have been there 5 times and they never got stolen. Age range is quite good, normally it's Collage age but sometimes there are some older people too which is okay I guess. The best thing to say is that the bouncer is nice and sensible. I have experienced a lot of bouncers being a**holes and misusing their power. But the bouncers at Home Sweet Home are likeable. Shout-out.

This is a classic Lower East Side basement dive that gets super crowded and plays party tunes to a bunch of entitled little scumbags. If you want to get drunk and dance to hit songs this is the place.

I have really enjoyed this place in the past, but I recently visited 3 hours before closing, and the bouncer turned me away, telling me the club was closed. This was incredibly disappointing, as I consistently recommend this place.

A friend whose a local brought us here for our honeymoon and it was incredible! They weren’t serving the vegetarian soup she usually orders but the staff and kitchen were so nice and offered to make her something she could still have and it was excellent. I had the best bierria tacos that I have ever had and my husband had beef tacos that were excellent. We all had drinks and the drinks were also incredible. The staff was so kind and lovely, they even gave us some amazing churros at the end. I will absolutely be back the next time we come to NYC. 💕

Came without a reservation on a Saturday night at 7:20 and they were still able to move things around since we said we would be out by 8. The tacos amazed us. The drinks are great and the staff nice.

We have been wanting to go to Casa Mezcal for awhile and tonight was the night. We were seated on time for a reservation. The decor and atmosphere is very welcoming and so is the staff. We started with the guacamole and chips and it was perfect. My wife had bloody Maria and I had a LA MULA DE PEDRO both were excellent. The GOBERNADOR quesadilla was very good and so was the BURRITO ESPECIAL. If you like tequila and mezcal this place is a must. Great vibe.

Love this spot! Reviews for separate visits: mezCALL me a cab after this happy hour @casamezcal has some great deals during happy hour like their classic margaritas. And if you post them on @instagram while you’re there, you get a free shot! Not sure what the blood red shot was but it was a sweet contrast to the perfectly tart marg. Plus the chicken tacos are pretty dang good! In queso you forgot… @casamezcal is the best Mexican restaurant around! I was invited for a dinner and mezcal tasting and got to try so many items from their menu I hadn’t before and each one was absolutely amazing! The staff took amazing care of us and they will amazing care of you too! Appetizers • Esquite - fesh corn, epazote aioli, tajin, cotija cheese (similar to an elote but off the cob) • Guac & Totopos - chips & guacamole • Queso Asado - grilled cheese, salsa verde, hoja santa, pico de gallo Entrees • Azteca Cake - layered corn tortillas, grilled chicken breast, onion, covered with Oaxacan mole, sesame seeds, avocado • Barbacoa de Borrego - puebla lamb stew with chile guajillo, with house made corn tortillas, salsas Mezcal Tasting We got to try 3 of the 300+ mezcals that they have! It was so cool and informative to learn about them. Each one was so unique in both taste and history • @mezcalcasaantigua - the first of the artisanal of the ones we tried and probably my favorite of the 3. I had a more mild taste than the others and was recommended to be used for cocktail mixing • @mezcalherodes - this brand was started by a French wine maker who moved to Mexico and fell in love with mezcal. It’s the perfect love story. This brand aged their mezcals in similar barrels to the wine which gives it the full bodied flavors • @mezcalrompecorazon - the only reposado mezcal we tried. It was fruitier than the others since this one is aged longer than the others in bourbon barrels and absorbs the sugars, which is also how both reposado tequila and mezcal get its darker color. Also this is the first and only OU certified kosher mezcal! Dessert •Churros Thank you for having & teaching us! Drop it like it’s hot (cakes) Because the hot cakes at @casamezcal have a surprising fruity Mexican twist! They corn hot cakes with lime zest, served with a strawberry sauce. Plus their huevos divorciados (yes, divorced eggs) are awesome as well - one served with mole and the other salsa verde, with rice and beans on the side. Plus we ordered some margaritas. Great brunch menu! The only thing I wish there was, was more food!

Good place, I just wish the birria tacos were a little less dry, it comes with a tiny bit of consomé on the side (very stingy) but they were too dry. The guacamole is awesome! The service is 8/10 👍🏼 would come back

Solid Cantonese showcasing all of the classic dishes. Fast and tasty Chinese in a big and busy restaurant which is knocking out Chinese comfort foods - congee, Chinese vegetable (get the pea shoots) and a wide range of seafood and meat dishes. Notes about scoring: 1 star = Memorably awful 2 star = Not good and would avoid 3 star = Good but would not return 4 star = Recommended 5 star = Incredible and must visit if you can
Don Mei - a week ago

Very good ambiance but the food we had was all mediocre to not good. We got Peking Pork Chops (picture), Chicken and Mushroom rice bake, corn with pine nuts, a beef and noodle casserole (pictures), and some of the dim sum buns. the pork chops were too sweet, the casserole got cold and turned to a block pretty quickly, and the corn was just canned corn with pine nuts (it might be our fault for ordering this dish). Nothing was that good but I actually want to come back and try more here.
Stuart Davis - a week ago

Came here for lunch with my staff. Got a bunch of different food to share. Big portion of food which I love. It was affordable and everyone left happy. Some of the dishes were salty but it was okay. Overall great food and awesome service. We got half of the garlic chicken, beef chow ho fun , beef fried noodle, bok choy, young fried rice , fried shrimp.
Linda L - 2 weeks ago

I loved the abalone congee and the steamed shrimp dumplings. The congee was cooked really well and the abalone meat was fresh, plump, and flavorful. The filling fell off the dumplings. The scallion pancake was fine, nothing special. The complimentary tea was tasty, slightly sweet (or sweetened). The decor is eclectic, it transported you somewhere else with wooden walls and coconuts. The service was efficient and attentive. The menu is expansive and has quite a few interesting dishes. I barely scratched the surface, so I'm looking forward to trying more.

After having ordered takeout from this restaurant multiple times, I finally dined in for the first time, and I must say that every dish I tried was truly exceptional. Despite the seemingly high prices, the quality exceeded that of many other Chinese restaurants in New York with similar price points. The seafood soup, in particular, impressed me with its generous portions of various seafood varieties; I would undoubtedly order it again. As for the beef stew and turnip casserole, it left me absolutely astounded.

This was my first time here or eating pho in general. The service was quick. My friend recommended pho with roundeye cut of beef. She said it's the perfect way to introduce a new person to pho. She was not wrong. The food was delicious. The plate of veggies was a giant heap of fresh herbs, jalapeños, sprouts and lemon. Springrolls appetizer was crispy and not greasy.

My friend and I went to this Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. He recommended me to watch here because he's been a customer for years The service was fine at first but when we got food and later when we had some of it and wanted to have more vegetables (side dish for pho) the waiter asked us "what's the vegetable for? We're going to charge it" my friend said "Okay, just bring the vegetables, we wanted to have it whether you charged it or not" If the waiter just said "that's an extra charge" it'd be better response when costumers came to support the business and spent money on the food The food was good nothing to complain about it

The pho was good but the service is horrible. Me and my friend were not done eating yet and they gave us our bill, they were rushing us to leave. The spring rolls looked smaller than usual and the summer rolls were just bad.
Jenny Yang - a month ago

Price: great prices, less expensive in the area. Food: Tried their pho tai, boc luc lac, and vegetable spring rolls. The spring rolls were the best dish. The boc luc lac was tender. The pho was lacking and missing flavor (maybe an off day as other reviews differ) and didn’t have any onions to my surprise as that’s a staple for pho in my experience. Definitely better pho options in the area. Service: was on the unfriendly side Atmosphere: loud music

This restaurant is fantastic. I can't believe anyone would rate this place anything less than five stars. I have traveled all over the world and have yet to find a vegan/vegetarian restaurant I have enjoyed more than this place. My wife and I chose to sit at the counter top, overlooking the kitchen. It was enjoyable watching the chefs meticulously prepare each dish. Every course brought to us was thoroughly explained by staff. Every course tasted better than the previous course. The interior also had low lighting, which set off a romantic vibe. I highly recommend bringing your spouse to this place.
Brian Hall - 2 months ago

This is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I’ve been here a couple times, and the menu was absolutely fantastic every single time!! The menu is seasonal so you are always in for a surprise when you visit. I am a 100% sure that you’ll be mind blown by the finesse, craft, attention to detail, and the quality of food at dirt candy! I won’t believe anyone that says this place is any less than 5 stars! :D They also send you an email when the menu changes, and reading it makes me want to immediately fly to NYC from SF! This place is a gem and I hope it never changes!!!

Dirt Candy’s five-course menu exceeds expectations and the staff explains you every dish with extra love and passion. Some of the dishes, including dessert, are a true masterpiece. Delicate bursts of flavors that you just don’t want to end. The wine pairing also deserves a special mention - organized around the theme of supporting women producers (kudos!), the selection of wines is spot on. Extra credit for the anti-tipping culture (Dirt Candy promotes paying staff adequate living wage and all). All the staff were amazing, super kind, and you get the feeling that all of that is genuine and not to get a few extra dollars. This restaurant truly has it all, highly recommended to not only vegetarians/vegans but really anyone seeking a special culinary experience!

Hailing from Miami and maintaining a vegetarian lifestyle for over three decades, we embarked on a new culinary adventure by choosing to dine at Dirty Candy, a Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in New York. Securing a reservation felt like a blessing, and the entire experience turned out to be nothing short of superb. The culinary journey at Dirty Candy was a revelation. Opting for the wine pairing added a unique dimension to our vegetarian dining experience. Every dish presented was not only delicious but also showcased stunning presentations and divine flavors. The attention to detail was evident as the waiter took the time to explain each dish before it was served, elevating our dining experience. The wine pairing, supporting female wine makers, was an exceptional touch. The person in charge of pouring the wine went beyond the norm, providing detailed explanations about each wine and sharing the stories behind them. This personalized approach added a deeper connection to the wines and enhanced the overall dining experience. One standout wine that captured our hearts was the EMME wine from California, crafted by the talented Rosalind. The entire evening at Dirty Candy was a delight for the senses, making it an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this Michelin-starred vegetarian haven to anyone seeking a truly delicious and unique dining adventure.

We have been wanting to visit Dirt Candy since June this year and finally went here last weekend for my birthday! We reserved for the chef's counter (you can actually see the chef prepare the dishes) one month in advance. The fall menu was excellent and each dish was presented beautifully. It was so hard to pick a favorite dish, each one was packed with flavors and tasted so unique! They gave us two surprise dishes from the kitchen too which was such a nice gesture. The drinks were equally unique and tasted amazing. The service staff were amazing. They explained each dish and were very quick to respond to our requests. It's so great to see such amazing service even with no tips involved. The price is on the higher side, but honestly the experience made it feel worth it.

Excellent vegan options! So delicious!! A must try when visiting Bakery Square!
Rachel Whitlinger - a year ago

This is a typical hotel lounge and restaurant - not really anything to boast about. The decor was somewhat confused for a restaurant serving mostly Asian fare - it was a bit tiki lounge meets sports bar. My friend and i got there on the later side of the evening, and there was only one other table occupied. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The portions, although well made, were a bit small for the prices. We enjoyed our time there, and we were allowed to linger over our table until closing time. All in all, I would rate the place as a pretty run of the mill hotel restaurant, but with a very kind staff and decent food.
Yali Szulanski - 11 years ago

Subpar service. Waiter was not familiar with the menu, couldn't tell me when the fish is shipped in, and had to redo my order because they were out of items. Also took them 45 minutes to serve me edamame (I think he forgot). I was one of 2 tables being served in the restaurant. Tuna was good, yellowtail and salmon were "fishy" (apparently not stored/handled at proper temperature). I won't be back.

They have a happy hour menu every day of the week. We were here on a Sunday and everything we ate came from the happy hour menu which made it really affordable. We got a mix of rolls, fried rice and a couple of starters and they were all great. The squid tentacles was my favorite dish. It's small but comfortable and there is outdoor seating as well. I would definitely eat there again!

This place has become my favourite sushi spot in New York city! They just tick all the boxes in terms of food quality, service and the vibe. I went there for lunch on my wife’s birthday and everything was perfect. Although we wanted to sit outdoors but they were really busy so we had to sit inside. The service was great the food doesn’t take long to order. They also have a great happy hour menu which starts from 4:30 to 7 pm. Make use of their happy hour menu its a bargain. I ordered 2 of the crispy sushi thingy! just ask the server they know what you’re looking for. The octopus tentacle was very good and also the crab salad. The portions are perfect for sharing so i got to taste everything. The beef fried rice is also very good. I will definitely return again to try different items.

Food was good, I liked the poke bowl even though my husband was the one that ordered it. It's premade so we didn't add or take away any ingredients to ours. The sushi combo comes with a soup or salad. I would like to note that the cleanliness of this place is good. I say this because I saw the waiter take a disinfecting wipe and wiped each menu individually. I appreciate knowing the effort into cleanliness. Bathrooms are relatively clean too!

Amazing ! Me and my wife love to have a short walk around in LES, and actually been seeing this place a lot and just pass through. However, we finally had our chance to try..and.. it was fantastic. We ordered from the lunch menu(sushi+sashimi) + crab salad + spicy tuna/yellowtail roll Ingredients were super fresh, sushi was straight from Japan, last but not least, salad was total knock out. Highly recommend!!!

We had the classic margarita, tamarind mezcalita, guacamole, tuna tostada and barbacoa (the reason I come here 😋). All delicious and authentic. Service was just ok. Server not as attentive.
Hemala Ramgahan - a week ago

Ok place. Nothing special. The ceviche was very disappointing- it tasted like fruit salad with very little fish. The tacos were dry and boring . The fish tacos was probably the best. Waitress was very sweet but she was on her own which made us really feel bad for her running around .
Ido Simyoni - a year ago

Can almost never go wrong with tacos and Barrio Chino didn't disappoint. Arrived on a somewhat busy night without reservation. Outdoor seating was readily available. We had chicken, and steak tacos. You have a choice of ordering two or three tacos. You can only pick one type (chicken, or steak, etc). So we ordered two chicken and two steak tacos and switched one out. Servers were nice and attentive. The tacos came out fast and were delicious.

MEXcellent Just across the street from me is @barriochinony so I had to try it! @stephbarbanell and I got some great food and drinks. I tried the barbacoa (lamb) tacos with pickled onions, chili pepper, and a salsa verde with a side of elote while Steph tried a quesadilla with chorizo topped with slices of avocado. I had a classic margarita and she tried the jalapeño grapefruit one. All was great!! Taco bout a fiesta Theres always a fiesta going on at @barriochinony ! Their tacos are and chips are so great that they’re always busy! I’ve been a few times now and they never disappoint, especially being conveniently located just down the block from me. We ordered chips and guac & salsa roja, steak tacos with avocado, and lamb tacos with red@pickled onions. Such simple meals yet such special flavors
Arielle Barr - a year ago

Fantastic food! The Al Pastor (pork) tacos were very flavorful, so were the barbacoa (lamb) tacos. The guacamole and totopes are a must. The churros have a surprise in the chocolate sauce ;)

Stopped by this restaurant while in Chinatown and had a great meal. My party went around early lunch time and there were not a lot of people there. We were seated immediately and service was fast after ordering. Everything we ate was good and if you like soup dumplings, this is the place for you. I enjoyed how it was right off the street, but it was quiet inside. There was a bathroom which was clean, but the steps to get there are a little steep for those with mobility issues. Personally, one of my favorite things was the boba tea I got because in my opinion they make it better than some other places I tried in the same area. Waiter stayed out of the way but was available when needed. Would eat here again.

It had been a few years since I had eaten a meal in Chinatown, so I was really excited to try out Supreme. We had heard several other restaurants were also great but Supreme seemed big enough to accommodate our large party size of 11. They have a big table in the back that seats about 10 but we were able to stuff 11 around it. All of us were so happy with the food! This is the way good Chinese food is supposed to be. The quality was so much better than anything we've ever had in Florida, they aren't even worth comparing. We had a lot of food, but the highlights included: the crab & pork soup dumplings, beef lo mein, crispy duck, sesame chicken, garlic eggplant, wuxi style ribs, and the fried chicken wings. Yes, all of those were highlights! Beer selection includes only TsingTao and Sapporo. Would be a cool upgrade if they brought in some Chinese beer not available in the US like Snow or Yanjing. Service was very fast and attentive. They didn't get anything wrong in our huge order other than bringing us an extra plate of soup dumplings, which ended up being a blessing because we definitely needed more. Overall, fantastic experience! I highly recommend Supreme. This would be a regular spot for me if I lived in the city. Pro tip: We went on a Saturday at 11:30 and it was very easy to get a table.

Been a few years since i came here. Walked by today and wanted to try the soup dumplings. I ordered them and they arrived piping hot. They taste as i remembered. Really good. I will come back just for this. Glad they didn't change.
