"A hot open faced turkey or roast beef sandwich at Harry’s smothered in gravy is the “good life”. A surprising array of craft beers are available to help you wash it down."

"Elevated Mexican in a humble setting. No reservations— save for booking the entire parklet outside. Get the chicken mole, any taco, and the vegetable dishes. The guacamole is also very very good"

"The Japanese plate for the discerning palate. Fish tacos for the kids."

"A very good burger — the perfect companion for watching playoff sports on one of the many TVs"

"A no frills place to have a small conference. It’s best asset is that it’s very close to LAX."

"American good with Asian and European roots with a decidedly French wine list. Outstanding inventive food, enthusiastic service. Amazing to find a Michelin star in Alphabet City — get the Pig Out!"
