I went to Balthazar on a Monday night and had such a great experience! I was seated right away and my server, Madeline, was super kind and attentive. She offered me a complimentary mocktail as soon as I sat down — it was originally a champagne, but since I don’t drink, she happily swapped it for a ginger mocktail, which was really good. This was my first time at Balthazar, and everything I ordered was amazing — the French onion soup, steak frites, profiteroles, and coffee. The soup was rich and flavorful, my steak was cooked perfectly (medium well, just right), and dessert was the perfect finish. Service was excellent — Madeline checked on me at just the right times, and I never had to look around for her. Everything was delicious, and I left super happy with my experience. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

We had a nice early dinner here on our trip to the city. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere is everything you’d expect. The food was great but did not quite live up to the expectations. We ordered the steak frites, gougeres, onion soup, ravioli, and short rib. Of the meal we would recommend the steak frites—the fries were amazing! The onion soup is also a must-order. The short rib was a bit dry. One thing to be mindful of when dining here is the proximity to neighbors, they really pack everyone they can get in here. Overall, would recommend going to cross it off the list.

We had a lovely early dinner here during our city trip. The staff were super friendly, and the vibe was warm and lively. The food was delicious—especially the truffle fries and onion soup! The short rib could’ve been a bit more tender, but overall everything was great. Tables are a little close, but that’s part of the charm. Definitely worth a visit!

Our plane back to NY was delayed so we cancelled our reservation and ended up at Balthazar at 11p on a Wednesday. The dining was lively and mostly full when we arrived. We were seated I a 2 top, corner booth that was perfect, and very comfortable. I ordered a gin martini that was served ice cold. My wife and I split the endive salad (I love the pickled pears), a cheeseburger with fries delicious), haricot vert (perfectly cooked and so fresh) and a caramelized and bruleed banana tart (gorgeous and excellent). When we left, well after midnight, the bar was still crowded with patrons enjoying themselves and bartenders who weren’t trying to rush them. What a nice and fun night! Thanks Keith. Also, I really enjoyed your book.

Breakfast at Baltazar had been on my bucket list for a while. I had the opportunity to return to New York City this past week and took advantage. With the publication of Keith McNally‘s memoir earlier this year, the experience was even more poignant. The service, as expected, was outstanding. The ambience was perfect, transporting you to a Parisian brasserie. And let’s not forget the food. Simply amazing.

Recommend by a friend. Advertised as the best pizza. This place did not disappoint. We loved the double pepperoni pizza. Sauce was so flavorful and the crust very thin. Loved the crust! Staff was very friendly. Make sure you have cash as it is the only form of payment. We were quickly sat, no wait.

Lombardi’s is a classic New York City spot that’s definitely worth the visit. The pizza has a great old-school feel with a solid crust, rich sauce, and quality cheese. You can really taste the history and tradition in every slice. The atmosphere is lively and authentic, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy a real NYC pizza experience. I’d absolutely come back again.

Apparently this is the first pizza place in America, so we had to try the dish they’re famous for. We ordered half of their signature pizza and half of a different one so we could sample both. I personally wasn’t a big fan of the signature pizza as the flavor was a bit too sour for my taste but the “regular” cheese and pepperoni was really good. I also loved how crunchy the crust was. Overall, a cool spot to try for the history and the variety.

Lombardi’s Pizza in Nolita delivers that classic New York slice experience with a cozy, old-school charm. The coal-fired crust has a perfect char, the sauce is tangy and balanced, and the mozzarella ties everything together beautifully. Fun fact: Lombardi’s is widely recognized as America’s first licensed pizzeria, opening its doors in 1905.
Manikandan - a month ago

Have lived in NYC for over 20 years and have never tried Lombardi's. We wanted something new pizza wise so today was the day to finally experience Lombardi's. The pizza was very good, definitely within the top 5 or 6 NYC spots we've tried over the years and our dog even loved the crust! We did order takeout which took two plus hours to arrive. Next time we would dine here in person instead of waiting so long for delivery and in fairness, we live on the UWS so it is a long trip for delivery. All in all the pizza was certainly enjoyable.

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times and everytime it’s amazing. Next week we are celebrating a friends 50th birthday. She’s will be visiting from out of town and we really want to give her an amazing experience so we chose La Esquina as our dinner spot. Anyways, we needed to adjust our reservations and were SUPER lucky when Ian picked up the phone. He was so sweet and charming and worked his magic and made dinner at 7:30 happen for us next Friday night. Ian, we haven’t even arrived and you have already made this a great experience. Big thank you. See you next week.

Took a long time for the food to come out, small portions and somewhat expensive, but absolutely delicious. Staff was very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was immaculate! Lots of gluten free options too.

stumbled upon La Esquina Brasserie entirely by accident, walking along Lafayette Street in New York, but what a find it turned out to be! A tour guide had mentioned it, but discovering it on my own made it feel like a hidden gem. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. You head down the steps, and it’s like stepping into a secret speakeasy. The lighting was just right, creating a warm and inviting vibe. The barmen were fantastic—friendly, professional, and really added to the experience. The food was another highlight. Their tacos and other dishes were delicious, and the drinks paired perfectly. What surprised me most was how reasonably priced everything was; it felt like a luxury experience without breaking the bank. The crowd there was equally wonderful—friendly, relaxed, and lovely to chat with. It added to the charm of the place. I’d recommend La Esquina Brasserie to anyone looking for a unique and memorable spot in New York. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience you won’t forget.

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the underground speakeasy restaurant La Esquina. Reservation is required to access this one via a guarded door leading to the underground scene with cramped but very lively bar, restaurant and dj scene! Food is generally very good but nothing that particularly stands out as deserving five stars.

Really great service especially by the bartenders who were so accommodating. Cocktails were excellent. The beef quesadilla was also really yummy.

When in New York you have to get pizza right… well I think they need to clarify when they say that and tell you to get Rubirosa’s pizza. Came here on a recommendation, risked the long wait, and man was it worth it. We sat at the bar and were helped by Sergio! Ordered two pizzas. One was a traditional fresco. And the other a half and half gluten free with honey pie and tie dye. The gluten free was phenomenal. They don’t make their crust in house but it is from a local establishment. The vodka sauce on their tie dye is impeccable. I loved that the crust was crispy! I devoured it all. The half and half is the way to go!!! All of that said, when in New York get pizza. But make sure it is Rubirosa’s!! Knocking it down and star because of cost- gluten free is smaller than non but still same cost if not more…

This might be the best pizza we’ve ever had! The Tie Dye with pepperoni was unbelievable. The garlic knots were also very good. Trevor did a fantastic job taking care of us both times we were there. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town.

Definitely a restaurant geared for a younger crowd. But, we had a delicious dinner. We started with a Caesar salad and asked for A side of anchovies. The salad was generous and lightly dressed. We also started with an order of the eggplant Parmesan. The eggplant was tender and the red sauce was Fresh and tangy. For our entrée, we shared an order of the cavatelli with broccoli rabe and Italian sausage. With that, we ordered a side of the broccoli rabe with garlic. Everything ordered was very good and I am impressed.

Highly recommend making reservations, especially over the weekends. If not, be prepared to wait OR quick to order for pick-up and see whatever gets to you faster: your pizza to go or your seat. We arrived with no reservations ima Saturday evening and the wait for either bar or table seating was expected to be just over 1 hour, which we expected. We ordered pizza via DoorDash for pick-up of the small half classic and half hot honey pizza. The hostess was friendly and placed us on the waitlist via text system. Our pizza for pick-up arrived first and it was easy to remove yourself from the waitlist. Now the pizza was good to share between two people. Nice thin crust, nice char, loved the cheese/sauce ratio (more cheese), now the hot honey pizza I wasn’t a fan of the soppresatta and should have subbed it for pepperoni. Overall great pie and would come back, but only with reservations or for pick-up. Not able to comment on service as we picked-up but the hostess was friendly.

The food at Rubirosa is absolutely delicious and lives up to its hype! I loved everything, and the sauce on the pizza is tangy and unique. Service was good, however I made a reservation and chose a time that specifically stated we would receive a regular table rather than bar or elevated table seating. When we arrived, we were seated at an elevated table with no alternate choice. I wish that our reservation selection was honored as we booked in advance and came on time. For me, it wasn't a big issue but it may be good to keep in mind when booking!

While out on a morning casual stroll and doing a little shopping, we decided to pop into this café for a light breakfast. It’s a cool little local spot with a perfect corner location. It’s small inside, but pretty cozy. They also offer outdoor seating if it gets too crowded. I had the Huevos con Chorizo with a glass of Agua de Jamaica, while my wife had the Breakfast Tacos and a glass of lemonade. Our food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Everything was made from scratch and cooked to order. The beverages really hit the spot, and based on the flavors, I’d say there are no powdered drinks served here. If you’re looking for frills and thrills, this isn’t the place for you. But if you want fast, casual service with good, fresh food, I definitely recommend checking them out.

This is one of the rare places that wasn't gentrified and keep the spirit of NY Soho of 1970-1980s. Tiny spot with a huge flavor and ambiance. Typical Cuban food at its perfection. My personal favorite is corn on the knob covered with cotija cheese and chili powder. Love this place since I got there in late 1990s.
Alex Serebrov - 5 months ago

Exceptional service from Rocket. He told me what they were famous for and he nailed it. One of the BEST Cuban sandwiches ever and I live in South Florida!! He was so friendly and welcoming to everyone who came in the door nor just me!! Highly recommend!’

This place is absolutely wonderful beautifully decorated and incredibly cozy. I felt like I was inside an old luxury ship, and the atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. We ordered the impeccable shrimp tempura, which completely won my heart ,so flavorful and fresh. We also had a few sushi pieces, and each one was perfectly prepared and incredibly fresh. I loved everything!
Ana Carolina - a week ago

The service was top notch. The atmosphere is just absolutely adorable. Designed to feel like you are on a boat, the portholes especially were awesome. It felt warm and cozy with the wood tones and plaid chairs. The menu is good. Maybe they are more known for their sushi. We had two of the fish dishes...the Branzina and the halibut. Both really had almost no flavor which was disappointing given their description. The lobster bisque had a Smokey flavor and dare i say it, almost too many big chicks of lobster not mention $24 a bowl. I'd go back because of the inviting atmosphere but i think I'd try the sushi

Food here is great, fresh and made to order, but service is definitely excellent. Wilmer, sushi bar chef is great at customer service and makes you feel at home wether you want to talk or just it he knows how to read the room. I don’t remember our servers name but he was very attentive and on point. Great place.

Spacious, nice vibes and decor. The oysters were good. Also got the shrimp tempura. It was way too oily and it was overcooked and chewy. Didn’t expect it from a highly rated place. A below average experience.

I LOVE Eileen’s cheesecake and I do not like cheesecake! This is something special and next level from 98% of cheesecake made. It’s fresh and the flavors are on point. It’s not too sweet, staff is always pleasant. Been eating here for well over a decade, not disappointed once. My favorite fruit is raspberry, pineapple, strawberry. My favorite non fruit is salted caramel and low sugar. The crust is so delicate. Keep up the great job!
MATTHEW SODIKOFF - 2 months ago

Each mini cheesecake was delicious and perfectly portioned for one person — rich, creamy, and full of flavor without being too heavy. The service was just as impressive — warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The only downside is that the space is quite small, which makes standing and eating at the countertop a bit tricky. Still, the cozy vibe and incredible desserts make it well worth the visit. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet pick-me-up!
Dahlia Verma - a month ago

I recently visited Eileen’s Special Cheesecake in New York and tried their classic cheesecake — and wow, it was absolutely amazing. The texture struck the perfect balance between creamy and light, with just the right amount of richness that didn’t feel heavy. The crust had a subtle crunch that complemented the smooth filling beautifully. What stood out most was the flavor — not overly sweet, but perfectly balanced, letting the tang of the cream cheese really shine through. It’s the kind of cheesecake that feels timeless and comforting, yet still indulgent. If you’re in NYC and love cheesecake (or even if you think you don’t), this spot is a must-visit. The classic alone is worth the trip.
Samara Luong - 2 months ago

I’m not even a fan of sugar or desserts, but my friends brought me here and wow. The only dessert I never turn down is cheesecake, and Eileen’s took my taste buds to a whole new level. From the perfect crust, to the rich density, to the way it literally melts in your mouth, this cheesecake is on another level. I only wish they shipped to other cities because I’d order monthly. Great service, great people, and great prices. The place is always full, which should tell you just how amazing their cakes are. I’ll definitely be back again. 🔥🔥

The cheesecake at Eileen's is, without a doubt, the best cheesecake in New York City, in my humble opinion. Unlike the heavy, overly dense cakes you find elsewhere, Eileen's has a remarkably light, fluffy, and creamy texture that melts in your mouth. It's incredibly flavorful, and has a lite taste. Love that you can truly appreciate the quality of the ingredients. The individual-sized cheesecakes are perfect. I ordered strawberry, and salted caramel each individual cost $6.50 each. Customers can purchase bigger size cheesecakes, and Eileen’s ship nationwide. The smaller individual cheesecakes options allow you to try multiple delicious flavors in one visit. From the classic plain, rich salted caramel, fruity strawberry, cherry, and blueberry. The shop on Cleveland Place has a cozy, old-school charm that adds to the experience, and while the space is small, if there is a line, just know, the line moves quickly thanks to the friendly and efficient staff. A visit to Eileen's is a must-do for any cheesecake lover in the city. Eileen’s is a Soho must visit!

The brunch here was really delicious, and the vibes inside were exactly what we were looking for. We had some nice fluffy and thick pancakes, and a great omelette. The home fries were a bit different, as they closely resembled very small steak fries. Great prices for the neighborhood, and for 11AM brunch every table was full.

Cute cafe with great food and friendly service. We ordered both from the breakfast and lunch menu. The avocado toast with eggs, breakfast potatoes and bacon was delicious. Just a little bit of chili flakes to give it a extra bite.

This place really inmpressed me. I had the Grey Dog Breakfast plate which was $20, high quality and more food than I could finish. The staff are attractive and friendly. the restaurant is well laid out. It makes me glad that a place like this can still exist in a neighborhood as expensive as Soho.
Nicholas Gazin - a month ago

it was nice. super cute. got french toast and yes a few parts were undercooked but other than that it was good. nice thick bread and crispy on the outside. the maple butter tasted a little freezer burnt and was a tiny amount. the berry sauce was mostly just a thin sugar syrup with barely any berry. the mint was just a garnish. so yeah it was good but probably won't be back just because it was just good, not great.
Jay Cee - 6 months ago

Called in on off chance of getting a table for 4 on a Saturday morning, totally expecting it to be fully booked as it looked like a really cool place and right in the heart of Soho, but they got us in. The food was amazing. The brunch menu just mouth watering, SO many options. I opted for fried chicken and pancakes with whipped lemony ricotta, my son and husband both had a full breakfast with bacon and eggs and pancakes and avocado, daughter had the French toast. We loved it so much we booked to go back tmrw for our last day before heading to JFK. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Parm 248 Mulberry St. New York, NY 10012 Appearance 8/10 Taste 7.4/10 The name of this mini restaurant chain enticed me to explore their CP entrée. The ambiance is casual with oldies music playing in the background. This plate was on the spicy side; this the first time I was offered red pepper seasoning for the dish. The fusilli was smothered in creamy vodka sauce and was very tasty. The only drawback about the pasta was there was an overwhelming amount; I would have preferred a slightly larger cutlet and less pasta. The cutlet itself was overall decent. There was a perfect ratio of mozzarella cheese and sauce and the basil leaf added a nice flavor. The sauce on the cutlet was not the same was the sauce on the fusilli, but I still enjoyed it. The cutlet definitely needed more breading. #chickenparm #chickenparmesan #parm #parmnyc #chickenparmreview #fusilli

Bustling Italian eatery with some great classic fare! We got the chicken parm with the spicy pasta and some mozz sticks but there was so much to try—wish we could've tried more but we had been eating all day! Servers were great, but it's not a big space so expect a little wait. Would go again.
Hendrick Lai - 4 weeks ago

From the moment we walked in, the staff at Parm made us feel genuinely welcome. Their warmth, attentiveness, and professionalism elevated the entire dining experience. Every course was spot-on — fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The chicken parm lived up to its reputation, and the sides and desserts were equally memorable. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both hospitality and food quality this well. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a consistently excellent meal in a vibrant, comfortable setting.

Had a great experience at Parm in SoHo. The service was excellent. Our waiter was super helpful and accommodating. We mentioned we were in a bit of a rush, and she made sure the food came out quickly without compromising quality. We ended up with a copious amount of food, all of it delicious. A solid spot for Italian in the Soho.
