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.

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.

Old-school charm, coal-fired crust, and a slice of NYC history. Lombardi’s doesn’t mess around. This place is literally America’s first pizzeria (since 1905), and honestly, you can taste the legacy. I went with the rustic double pepperoni pizza, and it was spot on: crispy, slightly charred crust, bright tomato sauce, they use special pepperoni , gooey mozzarella, and fresh basil. No gimmicks—just really good pizza done right. The rigatoni and meatballs is also a must. The place is Cozy, busy, and buzzing with tourists and locals alike. You’ll probably wait a bit, but it moves fast and the staff keeps things running smoothly. Prices are a little higher than your corner slice joint, but this isn’t dollar pizza—it’s legendary pizza. You’ll love it!

Hate to be that guy but... while it may be first, it definitely isn't best. Pizza was 3/10 for me. Also got the pesto pasta dish... very bland 2/10. Thought it would be fun to eat at the "first" pizza place but this is a one and done and not worth the story, sorry Lombardi's! Other people are Rating this highly which makes me feel a bit gaslit tbh. Had WAY better pizza in Tokyo... among other places. 1 marg pizza, 1 pesto pasta, 2 wines - $90 out the door and both left disappointed.

Lombardi’s will always be favorite pizza spot to go to! You can’t miss eating pizza here whenever you are from NY or out of state. Amazing pastas and dessert as well. Great Service as well!! There are so many Italian restaurants in NYC but this one, one of the best with warm and welcoming vibes! Must try!
Hillary Kate Sumabong - a month ago

Established in 1905, Historic pizzeria with charming, old-school vibe and simple but tasty pizza Lombardi’s is known as the first pizzeria in America, and it has a charming, old-school atmosphere — very different from the typical New York-style pizza. The coal-baked crust gives the pizza a unique flavor, and while the pies are simple rather than fancy, they are still very good and satisfying. The service is friendly, but the CASH-ONLY policy is something to keep in mind. Overall, it’s a nostalgic, tasty experience for anyone looking to taste a piece of pizza history. Simple, authentic, and full of character.

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.
Alex Vano - a month ago

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…
Kenzie Winther - 3 weeks ago

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.
Jon Richardson - 2 weeks ago

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!

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 - 2 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!’

Corn and tacos were cooked well but flavor was just okay. Service was wonderful! They provided toothpicks with the corn which was a great touch.
Kevin Collinge - a month ago

Been coming here since 2008, but since the pandemic I haven’t been here in a while. There use to be two stores next to each other but only the corner one remains. The famous corn is good as it always has been. The skirt sandwich was good, but the Cuban was not the same.

Love the vibe. Didn’t love the famous corn though. For me the highlight was definitely the mango caipirinha. Burrito was also good.

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

A must try! amazing flavors Eileen’s Special Cheesecake offers small, individual cheesecakes that are very light and easy to enjoy without guilt. The crust is thin and soft, almost merging seamlessly with the creamy filling ,you can hardly feel it, which makes each bite smooth and indulgent. I tried the plain, chocolate mousse, chocolate, strawberry, and blueberry flavors — all were amazing, fresh, and flavorful. Many locals recommended this spot, and it’s easy to see why. The atmosphere is cozy, and service is friendly, making it a pleasant stop in NYC’s Nolita neighborhood. A perfect spot for cheesecake lovers seeking light, flavorful desserts.
Amin Sameni - a month ago

Eileen’s Special Cheesecake is a tiny Soho gem with a cheesecake case that reads like a rainbow—every flavor looks better than the last. I went straight for the classics and grabbed cherry, strawberry, and caramel. All three hit the right balance, but the strawberry stole the show with bright fruit that cuts through the cream. What I love is the texture: the graham-cracker crust stays buttery without turning soggy, and the filling is fluffy rather than dense, so it never feels heavy or overly sweet. My only wish is for a hint of crunch in the base to add contrast, but that’s splitting hairs. For a quick cheesecake fix that keeps things light and flavorful, Eileen’s is an easy win.
Maryam - a month ago

I could write a love letter to these cheese cakes. They are delicious and quite honestly, the best I’ve had in my life so far. The service was amazing. There was a fellow there with long hair, he was just so nice and it was always such a treat to go. I went every day I was visiting the city, and it made my life to know they ship nation wide!
Valeria Perez - a week ago

Eileen’s Special Cheesecake is a delightful gem in NYC for cheesecake lovers. The shop has a charming, old-school feel and offers a wide selection of cheesecakes — from classic New York style to fruity, chocolatey, and seasonal variations. The texture is light and creamy, not overly dense, and the flavors are rich without being overwhelming. I tried a few mini cheesecakes, and each one was perfectly balanced and fresh. Service was friendly and fast, and it’s a great stop whether you’re grabbing a treat to go or enjoying a quick bite on the spot. A must-visit for dessert enthusiasts in Manhattan.
Robson Carvalho - 2 months ago

I decided to explore all the legendary desserts in New York — after all, I have a sweet tooth, and where better to indulge than NYC? Eileen’s Cheesecake shows up on every list — you simply can’t ignore it if you’re researching the city’s best cheesecakes. It’s a small spot with a charming blue-and-white facade. Inside, it smells a bit like cleaning supplies (they do keep it very clean), with one mirrored wall and another covered in awards and articles. Even though it was closing in less than 30 minutes, the display case was still almost full. Their cheesecakes come in perfectly round shapes, with a flavor for every mood. We tried two: the Original and the Salted Caramel. I was worried about the overly sweet American flavors — but that wasn’t the case here at all! The flavors were well-balanced, and that made the experience even more delightful.

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.
