Spring Cafe — ur mom ashley
She said the salads are the best, especially praising the crispy vegan chicken, the 'liquid gold' sauce, and the tofu skin bao buns, adding that even her non-vegan friends love it.
Veselka — TOPJAW
Loved the house-made ricotta-style cheese pierogi and fried potato pierogi and the sausage, calling it a lovable old-school spot for Ukrainian-American brunch.
Heads up: There's always a line during the lunch rush.
Minetta Tavern — National Geographic
Raved that the thick, meatball-like patty cooked medium-rare melts in your mouth, the soft bun soaks up the juices, and the ratio of caramelized onion to melted cheese is perfect. Also praised the fries as crispy with real potato flavor.
Heads up: Unlike Chinatown, this is a calm, sit-down bistro atmosphere.
Hamburger America — TOPJAW
Raved that the Oklahoma-style fried onion burger, with onions mixed into the patty and cooked precisely for 6-7 minutes, is tender and distinctive.
Heads up: It's a casual counter-order setup.
David's Brisket House — Jon Barr
A budget-friendly pastrami option, and unusual for New York, you can choose your portion size.
Nusr-Et Steakhouse New York — Beatrice Richer
The 8-hour roasted asado short rib and mashed potatoes were excellent, and the herb-crusted fries were said to be perfect.
Heads up: Even with a reservation, they waited an hour for a table, and the prices are steep enough that it's really an occasion-only spot.
