Pao de Quejo is very good with a cofee. Try the Jardinera which is a cube steak with rice and beans. Super good.
Starters- BYOB makes it a great place to pregame. With that in mind, make a reservation on the weekends. Coconut curry is by far my favorite!
There are also several cookies to choose from - peanut butter, coconut macaroon (feel free to mismatch the top and bottom cookies), plus ice cream flavors such as strawberry, mint and espresso.
Can't go wrong with the grilled octopus starter, any of the lamb dishes, and the grilled fish platter
Scallion pancakes are the BEST. Go with the USDA marinated meat platter and you get all of the fixing.
If you're a fan of spanish paella like myself, this is definitely the place to go! Make sure to order the calamari as an appetizer. It's superb!
Good combo plate spot with hummus and brown rice and veggies. Pita dessert with cookie dough is amazing
Order everything on the menu - dumpling and egg roll appetizers and the traditional pho offerings are some of the freshest in town. For Vietnamese food lovers.
Go for the harissa falafel sandwich (it's my favorite). I recommend adding the carrots they have...even though that costs a bit more. Pair it with a smoothie and you're good to go.
Tacos and tostadas are incredible. Shredded beef tostada was mouthwatering <3
Their chai is amazing and they also have these lays indian masala chips which I would highly encourage folks to try out.
Lamb burger, Mt. Qi Pork or Spicy Beef noodles, lamb dumplings, and you MUST get the cucumbers.
$9 for your choice of six fresh pastas and eleven sauces. Absolutely delicious and easily the best pasta value in the East Village.
Shrimp tacos are the best of the selection I made, followed very closely by carne asada... Absolutely leave room for churros and pair with the horchata!
Best Sichuan food in the city right now. Don't miss the spicy cucumbers, dry pepper fish, or double cooked pork belly. Takeout is a good option to avoid the line.
This is my favorite lobster roll in the city--and they've added a new dining room area so there's a little more ambiance now. But you can always take it down to the waterfront for a picnic.
Great back area with lots of tables! Appreciate that the poke bowls come with seaweed salad!
Meat and meat and meat. Burnt ends and brisket. Chicken winds are gorgeous. So is sausage. So basically everything.
Handmade corn tortillas ftw! Love their steak and shrimp tacos and chips and guacamole. Friendly service and quick food! Great for a quick bite.
Worth every penny! Connecticut-style is the only way to go - though they should grill the bun in butter instead of just toasting it. Otherwise, perfection!!!
chicken kebab sandwich is the best - better than the chicken kebab plate. worth the 5 or 6min you have to wait to get it!
This place was so cute and authentic- complete with a little Greek store, sign post and cobbled floor. Loved the hot veggie pita and hummus. Very quick and efficient service, decent prices.
Had the quinoa, Brussel sprouts, cranberries and almonds bowl with chicken and it was DELICIOUS! Portions are great too
Free hot dogs and incredible drink specials. The crowd is lovely - there to chill, drink, good music and perhaps make some new friend. going there abut 15+ yrs ago and it's still as great as it was
There's a great variety of food offerings for everyone. Try to taste as much as you can. The taco place makes their own tortillas and there's a craft beer place. Will definitely go back.
Finally, excellent pasta for the right price!!! Carbonara recipe is the real one. Try the arancini as well.
Hidden away, on the walking path along the water... but great views, fun staff, and chill vibes!! Bacon/chicken mac n cheese was phenomenal and the Cobb salad was on point
I love mama so food salad bar the staff and food are very good. I love the variety that they serve. this restaurant is well worth it.
If you work in the Union Square area get lunch here! The steak + salsa verde was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time, and the pork + pickles was fantastic too. I want to try them all.
