A very pleasant experience. The snails were excellent, the onion soup was not bad, I had meat, the cooking and flavour were top notch, the fried potatoes were tasty and fresh, and the service was excellent. This is a place I would love to visit again and again. Nicase was wonderful, very helpful and made us feel very welcome. We are very grateful to her.

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.

The ambiance was great! The appetizers were amazing. My duck confit was good but it had only a sliver of meat compared to the skin and fat ratio. Their Burger and other entrees were amazing and good sized. TIP: if it’s late like 8:30pm and they say a 45 min walk in wait, check the open reservations on RESY. There was an opening at 9:30pm for a for sure seat with only a 15 minute wait difference. We were able to go out and grab a drink before heading back over for the reservation.

This restaurant has been on my wish list for quite a while now and since we were going to be in the city on Saturday, I met a reservation a month ahead of time. We had a reservation for 7:30 PM, but we were finished with everything we were doing and slowly worked our way down to Spring Street and arrived at 6:55 PM. We asked the maître d’ if we can possibly have a table and we were actually seated right away. Our server reminded us of the actress in Amelie, Audrey Tautou. She was very attentive & friendly. I started out with an old-fashioned and my partner had a glass of red wine, both were very good. We both shared the goat cheese and caramelized onion tart for an appetizer, and it was absolutely delicious. We are actually going to try to make this at home ourselves at some point. The crust was very light. My partner had a short ribs with polenta and I had beef bourguignon with mashed potatoes. He said the short ribs were the best he ever had. My meal was also very good. For dessert, we both shared the Paris Brest. It consisted of choux pastry with a hazelnut cream filling. My partner likes hazelnuts more than I do but I do have to admit it was very good. I also have to compliment the gentleman who kept filling my water glass, it never went empty. He was very attentive and friendly. Looking forward to coming back at some point, I heard the breakfast is very good there. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the people watching.

An absolute SoHo institution. This was my second visit and it somehow managed to outshine the first. The food is classically perfect—the omelette and fries are a must—but it’s the impeccable, deeply attentive service that makes you feel like absolute royalty. The perfect spot to hide from a snowy Manhattan afternoon with a glass of champagne. 10/10.

Had Lombardi's suggested to me, as a place worth visiting while in the Big Apple. So we headed over there for a bite to eat, stepped in and it was like stepping back in time! The interior decor and vibe of the whole place, was brilliant and gave off such an oldy-worldy feel. As it states, it's been going since 1905 and was America's first pizzeria. With visiting during the week, and earlier on during the day, there were plenty of seats available. We were served by a very pleasant gentleman, ordered a root beer that tasted super and we decided on the 'Meatball, Ricotta, Garlic' pizza. When it arrived, it had a lovely crunchy crust all the way around, with plenty of ricotta and meatballs on top. Super hot and super tasty, a pizza that was delicious from the first bite, right down to the very last. If I remember right, it came to a little over $30 - maybe a bit more, including the tip - but was more than worth it without a doubt!

To be able to visit the America's first pizzeria was experience my fiance and I would never forget. We were seated right away and the service was quick. The meatballs and pizza was fantastic! I wish we had Lombardi's in Georgia!

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 absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. From the moment you walk in, you feel the history—this place is pure New York. The coal-fired brick oven gives the pizza that perfect balance of a crisp, slightly charred crust with a soft, chewy center that’s hard to beat. The margherita pizza is outstanding: fresh mozzarella, bright tomato sauce, fragrant basil, and just the right amount of olive oil. Every bite tastes simple, intentional, and perfectly executed. The clam pie is also a must-try—savory, garlicky, and loaded with flavor without being heavy. The pizza are a bit small, but great to eat. The only small complaint was we did not finish our pizzas and had to ask 4 times to get them to-go. Service is friendly and efficient, even when it’s busy, and the atmosphere feels authentic and unpretentious—exactly what you want from an iconic NYC pizzeria. This isn’t trendy pizza; it’s timeless pizza. If you want to experience real New York pizza history done right, Lombardi’s is a must-visit. I’d come back again and again.
Big NATE - 3 months ago

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.

You will not find this hidden beauty if you din't know it. Underground. Really nice place. Very good Mexican food and drinks. Reservation highly recommended. Order the tacos (really good) and skip the fancy menue stuff.

Hidden gem! It's a hidden place, you enter through a door that's inside another restaurant. Nice atmosphere, delicious drinks and food.

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.

Get the Chips & Salsa. I'd get the chicken tortilla with no cheese all day long! It was so filling. & also the chicken tacos were delicious with no cheese and aioli. Get the spicy margarita as is.

Fun, quintessential little Italy vibes of an established New York City restaurant. Great service, and menu is much brighter than just pizza. Braised beef braciole and short rib anglotti were favorites for our table. Reservations took extensive planning and setting a timer at midnight to jump on it, but totally worth it. We went on a cold day where wait times were short, but I don’t think this is typical. Waiter was particularly attentive to our food, allergies, and double checked with the kitchen on ingredients. The menu is not overwhelming and there’s a focused list of desserts and beverages. The kind of place where options have been carefully honed over years of service. We also tried the tie-dye and honey pie pizzas. Crust was exceptionally thin. This is what New York style pizza is traditionally known for. If this is your thing, you’ll love it. They have it down to a science. A definite repeat. Would rate 7.5/10 for the pizza experience, but all else was a solid 9+.

The pizzas are absolutely delicious—perfectly crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and great quality toppings every time. Their drinks are just as impressive and pair perfectly with the food. The vibe is lively yet cozy. Always a go-to when I’m craving amazing pizza in the city! 🍕🍸
Prianna Patel - 3 months ago

It is a rustic yet homey restaurant serving traditional Italian fares. Their thin crust pizza is crispy and chewy, and pasta is fresh with rich garlic savory pasta sauce. Their zappoli is perfectly fried crispy outside and doughy soft inside 🙂, and cocktails are delicious! It is a popular go to place and is crowded. So, you should make a reservation to avoid the long wait

Wow this meal was unreal. Everything hit the mark. No joke the pizza has me looking up Rubirosa sauce jars to order because the pizza was that good. Great arugula salad with the tastiest dressing and an absolutely delicious ravioli dish in the butter sauce. I don’t *want* to come back… I NEED to come back. ❤️
Brooke Waller - 4 months ago

After months of trying to get a reservation (yes, it’s that hard), I finally decided to just try going without one. The wait was around 45 minutes but it was worth it because the food was great! I loved the half & half pizza (tie-dye and vodka) and the mini rice balls. Definitely a must try for thin crust, cheesy, NY-style pizza.

This place use to be off the charts incredible, that wasn’t the vibe I experienced my last visit . The burrito was not what I remembered or expected. It was bland and the chicken was dry, pretty lack luster. Chipotle’s probably would have hit the spot more. I took home half and doctored it up. They do still serve their famous corn which was our favorite before heading home on a late night. The staff served a purpose but felt they were more bothered by waiting on people.
Carin Rudich - a month ago

Had an amazing time here! The vibes and service were on point, but the food really stole the show. We ordered the elote, flautas, the pressed sandwich with tostones, and the steak plate with rice and beans. Every dish had bold flavors and came out at the perfect temperature. Solid 8/10 experience, I highly recommend!

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.
James Johnson - 5 months ago

Really enjoyed this spot for an early dinner. Everything was delicious but the main highlight was definitely the corn, I'd go back just for that. Had a really nice lemonade too. Service was also really good, super friendly and fun. Great spot 💫💫💫💫💫

This is one of my Favorite spots! I have been coming here since 2015...It truly never disappoints...the servicers are always super friendly. The food wow where do I start! #1 street corn. The best. Literally Drive from NJ to NYC for corn. Tacos are delish...hubby really likes the Cubano. Rice and beans yum!!! Overall 5 star!

Lure Fishbar had been on my list for a while. However, I think it is alright, leaving a bit to be desired. I’ll lead with the pros and minor misses - Pros - Uni bucatini was delectable, creamy, flavorful, the pasta was al dente and the red chilies cut through the richness occasionally so it was so easy to keep enjoying the dish The spicy tuna crispy rice was delicious. I love their little twist on the classic crispy rice that adds to the texture. Cant ever knock a crispy rice but this was definitely a memorable one! Crispy rock shrimp was addicting and crunchy. The batter was light and the shrimp were fresh and great! Minor misses - The seafood tower was a considerable let down. Aside from the shrimp, the oysters and clams were unpleasantly fishy and sandy. The seafood salad was also bland and chewy in a very unpleasant way. Though this is one minor miss, I would anticipate a seafood oriented restaurant to perfect their seafood towers Overall it’s a nice establishment. The interior design is unique and well thought out, mimicking the interior of a boat.
Vanessa Kwok - 5 months ago

The sushi here was amazing. One of the best I’ve had, and the spicy tuna crispy rice, deviled eggs, and Hellfire roll were delicious. The inside also had a lovely atmosphere, with the interior made to look like you’re inside of a fancy yacht restaurant. I would definitely come back here.

As a Hungarian, it was touching to see Tokaji Aszú on the menu alongside the cheesecake — a subtle nod to home. The food was excellent and perfectly matched our friends’ recommendations. A truly satisfying experience.

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.

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!

A famous dessert spot in NYC that we wanted to try on our visit in the city. The queue was pretty long (took around 15-20 minutes). I can understand the hype over these cheesecakes. The taste and texture is in-between the typical dense, super sweet American-style cheesecakes and the delicate Japanese soufflé-style cheesecake. It’s not too dense and sweet, but the cream-cheese is much more present than in a Japanese cheesecake. We tried both the traditional flavour and salted caramel; both were an absolute treat.
Camille Khazanov - a month ago

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 - 5 months ago

We were told this was the best cheesecake in NYC. We didn't have time to try all of NYC's cheesecakes but we had a fair amount. Let me say Eileen's was the best we had! We got the banana and key lime cheesecake. My wife said the banana one was not only the best cheesecake she had in NYC, but the best cheesecake she's ever had. She was thrilled to learn it is allegedly also Eileen's favorite. I would highly recommend Eileen's and will be back the next time I am in New York!
Tanner Leavitt - 2 months ago

Junior's or Eileen's? always a big question. Both are very different but both are great - can't go wrong either way. Eileen's texture and flavor is always on point. not too sweet and always a good choice if you are in the area. It would be nice if there was some seating.

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!

I absolutely love Grey Dog! Have been coming here for years specifically for the grilled cheese dippers that are out of this world. Honestly the whole menu is great but the dippers hit so hard I would highly recommend. The staff is so great too & amazing vibes!

Great place to go - my hamburger 🍔 was delicious, all fresh ingredients, served the way I liked with French fries 🍟 even lettuce was fantastically crispy. Timing was good too - didn't have to wait long to get my dinner plate and beer I enjoyed during happy hour for better price as well - will be back soon for sure - great place, great service and interesting interior - overall great experience for me

We came across the bar when looking for a drink. We sat at the bar & the service was amazing. The lady who worked behind the bar was great, friendly, professional & attentive. We then went back the next evening & she remembered our drinks. We had some food that was amazing also. Highly recommend. It gets busy so book if you can. Great menu for food & drinks. Nice atmosphere also.
Mark Williams Hutchins - 4 months ago

We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed our experience at the bar. The drink gave me the buzz I was looking for and the Club was a thique as one would hope. The bacon slathered the lateral function and melted under my crunch... and I am crunchy. I was feeling the vibe and the decor while the bathroom really took care of me. Highly recommend for solo or groups!

The apple cider mimosa is DELICIOUS!!! I love brunch foods, so I am very biased with bow much I enjoy this place. I went to the Grey Dog - Union Square last summer. The Nolita location did not disappoint. Make sure to get a reservation. This place gets crowded. Almost every other table ordered the Mexican Breakfast Bowl (not pictured).

Parm has been around a while, and I finally made it to the original location. It’s classic, old-school Italian-American comfort food. The space is pretty small and they don’t take reservations, so keep that in mind. I grabbed a seat at the bar during happy hour, weekdays from 3 to 7. The drink menu is limited, but a white wine did the job. It does get busy, though the bar is full service, which helps. We started with the garlic bread, cut into six pieces and sprinkled with parm. You HAVE TO add the fresh mozzarella. *chef’s kiss* I went with the chicken parm platter, which came with rigatoni carbone. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The spicy vodka sauce was good but could have used a bit more heat. The chicken parm itself was solid and comforting. Overall, I’d recommend it and would definitely come back.

Overall – look, it is a goal of mine if I’m the best part in New York City I don’t know if the best or considered the best. I’m really like this place. I usually order it for work but tonight I went with friends to show them a meal that I like they also loved everything however they didn’t love the parm as much as I do. I think they’re just parm haters, but I think it’s great. It’s a no-frills place simple bustling little shop not a lot of space but that’s what makes it so charming my friends like all the food here we had a great time Food – as I said earlier, I came over for the parm. I’ve had the parm many times so I love the parm here. It’s not too crazy expensive it’s just a normal good poem however, this time I ordered other things like a Caesar salad, which is delicious. How can you mess up a Caesar salad salad? We also had the calamari which is delicious and fried and we had the meatballs which actually I’ve been craving meatballs eating oh, that was great We also got another pasta. I don’t know what it was but it’s located in my pictures. Overall everything went well together. Everything is delicious. Everything is on power with taste. Yes, please. Atmosphere – as mentioned earlier, it’s a small place. I am so lucky we got a spot we went in. We put our name down and within moments we got a cute little spot in the back corner. We were very lucky I’ve seen lines of this place and it makes experience so much better being able to get in quickly however, I wonder if we were just very lucky the staff was good. The food was fast and the atmosphere is just cute. It’s just simple. It’s not overdoing it with white tablecloths. There are a lot of these these Italian places that go too far. It’s cute. It’s simple that’s it.
Jack Tuggle - 5 months ago

Heard this place has the same owner as Carbone so wanted to try it. I enjoyed the bar setup and the staff were really friendly. There is an open kitchen so you can see the cooking process. However, the food is definitely not true Italian. I would consider it as Americanized Italian. No reservations I heard this place shares the same owner as Carbone, so I decided to give it a try. The bar setup was great, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The open kitchen allowed me to witness the cooking process, which was interesting. However, the food here is definitely not authentic Italian. It’s more of an Americanized Italian cuisine. There are no reservations.

Had a great meal here just as walk-ins sitting at the bar (getting reservations had been a nightmare). Glad we tried it! We had the following: - mozz sticks - pizza knots - meatballs (super good) - pesto arancini - rigatoni carbone (excellent) - Fusilli bolognese (also excellent)
Loren - 5 months ago

Fantastic food! We have been wanting to stop here for a long time after seeing so many videos online about it, and I’m glad we did!!! There are only a few tables in the back, and we came as a walk in around 12:30 pm on a Sunday and snagged one. Carson was an exceptional server, and definitely deserves 100000000 stars!! Thank you for the amazing service! We had the lunch special for $25 each, and loved the pizza knots. Their famous rigatoni is worth every penny, and the chicken parm roll was great! Definitely recommend this place!! Will return for the happy hour!

Amazing Mac n cheese!!! I’m from Wisconsin so I’m very picky when it comes to Mac n cheese. Macbeth did not disappoint. I got the mushroom one and it was very cheesy!!! It had a little bit of spice which I wish I knew beforehand so I would have either asked to make it without the spice or would have gone with the classic. Despite that, it was still very delicious. Next time I’m in NYC I’d love to come back and try some of the other ones on the menu. The space itself is small and we were the only people there. It’s all yellow and has a cool design but it is small with only few tables for seating. They didn’t have cups of water, you had to purchase drinks so that’s my only complaint about the place.
Gintare P - 6 years ago

I must say visited this place a few days ago and was left satisfied. I thought cause of a small place wasn't good, but the food over shadowed everything. If you around come in or order from any app that's available. The mac and cheese was amazing. I had a cheese burger mac and cheese and was left wanting more. I will be returning soon.
Jhonnattan Fernandez - 7 years ago

Amazing random find while walking around looking for dinner. Had to stop in because who doesn't love mac n cheese?? Small but cozy shop with comfortable seating. Took about 15 minutes to prepare, but completely worth the wait. I got the margarita mac, it was delicious and light. The medium size was a good dinner portion for me. The dishes were mac n cheese themed, which kept the food hot but allowed you to handle without worry. The plasticwear had an interesting design were they clicked together for storage. Overall the food and atmosphere were amazing and I'll definitely be going back to try other mac n cheese combinations!!
Kaitlyn Schnellbacher - 7 years ago

The service was underwhelming at best. Very transactional feeling to the business. About 10 people can sit inside at most to eat. Probably better for take out. They told me to expect 15’min for prep. Took about 15-20. Pretty standard. The food: I got the mushroom Mac and cheese - again, not overly impressed, but not bad. very “alright.” Decent spot for a quick-ish bite, especially a salty/savory/cheesy bite.
Ronen Pessar - 7 years ago

15-20 min wait so if you're hungry order in advance! Definitely worth the wait, super cheesy and full of flavor. I had the margarita wasnt disappointed. 10 stars if I could. Thank you for making my 1st time there a great experience :)
