"Best. Ramen. Ever. Lots of other places try but they are just not as good. Astor Place, and a new location just opened on Upper West. For downtown location prepare to wait for hour(s)"

"For brunch/lunch, super Dim Sum - the original actually. Chinatown. Authentic"

"SUPER lunch/brunch. The space is gorgeous too"

"fantastic tapas (but not typical tapas – local, market ingredients, very pure). Great place to hang out and relax. Its tiny, though, so seats can be hard to come by. Cool wine list. In far west Manhat"

"Simple, delicious food. Great room, great vibe. Very cool spot but relaxed and casual. Good for celebrity sightings. In Tribeca, and totally worth the trip Reservations a must at night"

"In Brooklyn. The food rocks. The wine list is a little self-consciously cool, but you can find good stuff to drink. The whole roast chicken, brined in sweet tea, is insane."
