Latin fare, fun, & flare at the bar in my new UES hood w/ ALL-DAY Mon HH 12pm-close + Brazilian jazz band in the evenings. HH also Tue-Fri & Sun's from 12pm-8pm.
The gnocchi is amazing; ask to sub it in the Pappardelle Al Ragu Di Vitello. Favorite wine there is the Montepulciano D'Abruzzo.
Delicious wine and cheese selections. If you get there before 7 try the bubbly flight. Pan seared duck is my favorite. Finish with house moscato and nutella cake dessert,
So much truffle *drool* on the menu. Gnocchi was incredible. Try and get seated in the garden at the back if you can - feels like you're in West Village, not UES.
Matsu is a good option for the mid-priced range sushi places on the upper east side. Hidden away bet. 1st and York. Lot of creative and interesting rolls. The sushi by piece is pretty good as well.
No "ick" factor & more quality-finds than most. Our fave UES "Hood 'Haunt!" w/ flow of incoming donations / higher-end items: clothes, bags, artwork, furniture, dishware, etc. Helps HIV/AIDS cause!
Butter Ckn Tikka Masala was in a tasty & light sauce; Saag Paneer too salty; Naan was thin & not too dense; Cauliflower too vinegary &undercooked. If only seating was less cramped & in brighter space!
Daily Happy Hr 3-7pm: discounted deals on my faves-Mon's (quiches), Wed's (Eatpops), Thur's (smoothies) & Sun's (pizza). See my pic for other frozen food deals & enjoy! :)
If you're hungry and with another friend, the Madhatter is the best deal for you. You get two sandwiches, three scones, two pots of tea and dessert for $23/person!
Get the French toast. Scones are fluffy and awesome, too. And if you like floral tea, you have to try the house tea blend.
AMAZING Eggs Benedict and French Toast! This will definitely be a regular spot to take my family and friends when they come to visit.
Get the chicken sandwich... The buttermilk scones are to die for!!! And one rule: always ask for extra cream and preserves!
Delicious artisanal cakes by the slice in an ethereal setting. The cheesecake is the star attraction. The crepe cakes and strawberry shortcake are also outstanding.
Simply the best scrambled egg/cheese/tomato sandwich on UES. Don't know what they put in it - but its a no brainer
The gallery's store offers one-of-a-kind and limited-edition prints and products by artists from Damien Hirst and Richard Prince.
Don't forget to check out the lower level...hidden gem full of Damien Hirst's pieces
Shop in front, smallish gallery in back and also appears to be entrance to GAGOSIAN's sushi restaurant
Established in1939 where German was a common language. The result? Giant, plate-flopping schnitzels and sausages. Beer garden downstairs. Winner of Best of NYC Critics' choice for Best German!
Appetizers are good, but don't waste that precious stomach space. Portions are huge. You can always get Apfelstrüdel for dessert.
If you get a schnitzel, get the paprika sauce. Delicious and totally worth the extra dollar.
The best pork chop they used to have as a signature menu is now called 'Lemongrass Pork Shoulder' and the number is 44 on the menu. Still awesome.
Everything is fabulous - healthy, delicious Asia-inspired lunch, brunch and high tea. Great wi-fi and cappuccino too
Fantastic food -- try the cactus fries or avocado salad -- one side comes with meal which is a lovely bonus. We had fish tacos and chicken torta -- they get the bread fresh daily from local bakery.
Great food and atmosphere!! Guacamole and the Ceviche were excellent as well as the fish tacos! Will be coming back for sure!!
Skip the sushi and go for speciality dishes such as the fake pastas made from seafood (uni cauliflower pasta), uni risotto, & beef fois sukiyaki. Great Austrian dessert wine! Bad selection of teas.
The restaurant is inside Gagosian Gallery. Along with traditional sushi and entrees, you find some unique stuff like fish pasta. Desserts all have slight Japanese twist!
The creamy Half uni shell (I would share this dish) beef sukiyaki, and Peking duck foie gras tacos were standouts
Best Asian fusion fast food in the area! Love the Kobeyaki burger w/ teriyaki sauce, grilled teriyaki chicken or beef bowls, udon noodle soup, & sweet potato fries w/ wasabi mayo & teriyaki ketchup!
Happy that a Taiwanese boba (bubble) tea + SHAVED ICE shop finally made it to UES! M's White Peach Green Tea & my Lychee Black Tea Slushee w/ lychee jelly tasted great (healthier than boba)!
Decent sushi-better than other UES Chinese-owned spots. Toro scallion roll was pretty fresh-not best. Why it's pricier than Yasuda's is beyond me! Cooked items are bland/average. No A/C + club music?!
Best Neapolitan pizza in the UES - my fave is the Diavola (w/ spicy Spressata)! Their red sauce, eggplant (Parmigiana Di Melanze), & Rigatoni Alla Bolognese are my other craves!
I'd lose a fortune & gain a ton if I lived any closer...The most heavenly, delicate macarons have arrived from Paris to NYC: orange blossom, rose & ginger, blackcurrant violet, & many more.
Absolute fave: French Onion soup!! ;9 Choucroute is also good. Had Steak Frites w/ both Au poivre & red wine sauces on side-both great but I prefer the wine sauce. SKIP Les Halles & come here!
Don't sit by window! Hostesses are stupid & rude to seat 4 ppl @ these tables meant for 2 ppl!! TO OWNER/CHEF: As a result, we ordered LESS to fit our tiny, uncomfy table & didn't even order dessert!
You can't go wrong with the tagliatelle or orecchiette special if it's available. The burrata app and Brussels are also great. But whatever you do, get the eggplant. And of course pay with Cover!
Schweinshaxe bavarian pork shank was good! Sausage Platters,bauernwurst, weisswurst, & bratwurst with potato salad, red cabbage sauerkraut were yummy.
Decently priced & best in UES for the Chinese milk tea, Lychee green tea (w/ coconut jelly not boba/ bubble), fresh fruit & green juices & smoothies!
❤️'s: brunch French Toast, dinner-pickled veggies, Root Veggies, Burrata w/ Grilled Peaches & Mussels. 😐's: Peekytoe Crab & Avocado Toast, Burger, Lobster Roll, Cauliflower Gratin & Truffle Fries.
Pricy and not-so-large portions. The quesadilla and indian wrap appetizers were flavorful and delicious. The dumplings weren't as good.
Great for vegans and vegetarians. Impressive bar program and cocktail menu. Sit at the bar or request downstairs. Upstairs can be tight for parties of 2. Food is on-point. Try the spinach ravioli.
Gluten-free heirloom tomato and zucchini lasagna with cashew ricotta is to die for! Great staff, great atmosphere a definite must try for any vegan/vegetarian new yorker!
I'm hooked! DoughLoco donuts, housemade bacon caramels, milkshakes, floats, snowballs, Peoples Pops, ice cream, sorbets, & vegan options for H. too!
Love the iced green tea w/ simple syrup! When not all gone, decent banana bread, donuts, scones & even vegan cookies.
Service is slow w/ only 1 server & 1 hostess. Oreo Chocolate Chip scone was AMAZING. New England Clam Chowder w/ rosemary bread is SO GOOD!!
Very small so call ahead of you are coming after 10am on weekends (or plan on grabbing a cup of coffee nearby while you wait)
Love the tables in the window, summer peach tea, and lemon blueberry scone
My call has been transferred to this location 12+ times...phone just kept ringing & ringing w/ no answer. Now I'll never know if I'll get in & will need to find alternative place to go to!
$5 draft craft beers during Happy Hour, Mon-Fri until 7pm. Oysters are $1 during HH, but are tiny in size. Both Pastrami sandwiches & spicy Beef Jerky are delicious. Backyard Patio closes at 7pm.
90+whiskeys+24 rotating craft beers on tap. HH Mon-Fri 11AM-7PM+ Wed-Sun 12am-4am. $1 oysters@HH + ALL-DAY@bar. Late Nite Eats Sun-Thur 'til 1am. Live Music on Thur@9PM + Sun@5pm. Dancing+DJ Fri+Sat
Stop in to get a ham & cheese croissant & their amazingly refreshing Summer Tropical Garden Herbal Iced Tea -a blend of mango, pineapple, papaya & peach flavor! 😋
the tofu is surprisingly good! also recommend their uni and sweet corn tempura
Make sure u get the soba with sea urchin & roe!! Pretty much all of the dishes are amazing!!
Reminder for next visit: don't get the whitefish salad one rye bread-it's too salty! On a toasted bagel is best. And a bialy possibly better? Nevertheless, the whitefish is like crack!
I'm hooked! Love their whitefish salad & lobster salad (w/ bits of celery & not too mayoey) sandwich was a deal for $12.99! ;9
Unimpressed by their Rice-too warm, mushy, vinegary & totally overpowered fish. Shoddy service & setting & pricier than most top NYC sushi places?! Ridiculously pricey 4 overall quality!
TODAY's the opening day of La Esquina in the UES! Excited a decent Mexican taqueria came to our hood & can't wait to try the tacos, tortas & Aguas Frescas!
But WTF... what shaved ice shop doesn't have fresh fruit - ONLY UNHEALTHY TOPPINGS like cereal & candy?!
Called 3x searching for lost sweater. Either the business phone number is wrong on Yelp + 4SQ or train your workers to speak English!!!
HH All-day M+Sun's / 5-7pm Tue-Fri: $8-10 sake drinks; $3 edamame, octopus or pork gyoza; $5 pork, oyster, shrimp, soft-shell crab or ckn buns; $7.50 shishito peppers; $8 wings or Japanese fried ckn.
Overrated esp since there are much better Thai's in UES! Bland Pad Thai, salty Tofu & Broccoli; dry Ckn Lettuce Wrap & Bangkok Basil. Every dish lacked balance of flavors typically in Thai cuisine.
To manager: I called yesterday ~4:40pm asking re: my 4pm Seamless order & a guy w/ bad attitude rudely talked over me saying restaurant was closed & refused to give his name-inexcusable customer svc!
Boasts 1 of largest selections of pre-owned LV, Chanel & Hermès bags & accessories in NYC, w/ rows of gold baubles & belts. Buys used designer items for $ or to put toward your next purchase.
"Deal here: if u need to use their computer, charge is a min of $2/min + 10¢/ B&W pg but if u don't & email it to them, charge is 20¢/ B&W pg (60¢ min total)." See my pic 4 fax prices.
Love their fresh & good "Prince of Green" juice & relaxing environment! They have FREE wifi & also sell coffee, shakes & sandwiches.
Decent AYCE $25 sushi dinner incl. sushi rolls + extra add-on's (eg., shrimp tempura, uni & desserts like Mochi) for under $6/ each. $20 AYCE Lunch is good too but has way less options.
Flamenco (W 7:30pm)+all-day jazz Mon's. Food is not fresh & 2 saucy. Pricey HH All-day Mon's + 12-7pm Sun-Fri. Stick w/ 1st FREE drink 4 ladies (Mon 5-7pm), margaritas, guac & corn+cheese empanadas!
Moistest cupcakes ever! Decent Red Velvet but my faves are the Key Lime & Carrot cake! Will need to try their scones, pies & cheesecake - just wish they had strawberry.
OK Malay-Chinese $8.95 lunch specials. Beef Rendang had so-so beef quality but was tasty. Don't order the Golden Crispy Squid. Decent Tofu Fish Fillets, Wonton soup, spring rolls, steamed dumplings.
B health rating & C sushi rating. Average at best & FYI raw salmon shouldn't be slimy & mushy & you have to suspect freshness when "crunchy" is used in rolls.
Authentic Thai noodle joint! Pad Thai done right! Dip Jalapeño sauce w/ Chive pancakes. Tom Yum Bolarn (soup noodles w/ minced pork+fish balls) + Pork Kaprow w/ overeasy egg on rice are MUST-try's!
They're stingy w/ it but ask 4 Jalapeño vinegary sauce-instead of sweet soy sauces-to offset oiliness of fried Chive pancakes (like turnip cakes from Canto dimsum)
Luak Jim (app: mix of steamed seafood cakes/ balls w/ spicy seafood sauce), Pad Pukk (chicken w/ veggies in oyster sauce w/ over-easy egg on rice. Request less sesame oil) are also my MUST-try's!
FREE Whiskey Shot w/ Yelp check-in + cheap drinks but daily Karaoke for $2 / song is way pricey!
Tiny Neopolitan pizza sis (w/ lil' seating) of better San Matteo (90th St / 2nd Ave). Same great pizza, less menu options. Called 2 workers here who didn't know addy - how do U get to work daily?!!
Great Asia-inspired healthy, fresh food, good vegan too. Great weekend brunch and afternoon high-tea
Great cozy seating. La Columbe coffee is the standard-awesome. Croque Madame is brunch worthy. Apple turnover, to die 4. Pain au chocolate, sometimes is still warm--Ridic! Run there, don't walk.
An old fashioned speakeasy that allows smoking? Who knew! Great cocktails. Next time I'll have to try their food.
I love all of the fresh produce, flowers and baked goods that grace this market every Saturday morning. What a neighborhood gem!
HH drink & food specials Mon-Fri's 5-7 + Sat-Sun's 4-7pm: $1 BP oysters, $9 for 2 lobsters or burger sliders on a plate.
There's better Ckn Tikka Masala & garlic naan from much better Indian places in UES area + Indo-Chinese Chili Ckn & Gobi Manchurian was totally unauthentic. Cheap but everything was mediocre, @ best.
Try the Breakfast bowl, kale salad, root veg mash, cauliflower hummus, Rotisserie ckn, Veggie lasagna, Spaghetti Squash, Grilled pineapple w/ cashew nut, & Watermelon Water.
Something healthy for everyone: Vegan, Paleo, Non-GMO, Organic, grass-fed & GF fast food!
All the decadence of perfectly executed French pastries (like lemon-meringue tarts, profiteroles and chocolate-chip brioche), none of the gluten. Daha fazlasını oku.
One of the most wonderful dining and culinary experiences I've had in Manhattan. I recommend everything, but particularly the tuna tartar & the lobster dumplings. The staff is lovely.
I ❤️ the Welch's Grape, Strawberry & Cookies n' Cream froyo but NOT the dirty place & lazy & rude employees working here! Cashier rung me up w/o giving me credit on my 16 Handles app
Love their Jasmine Green tea w/ some simple syrup & the Underwest Vanilla Lavender donut!
Amazing garlic naan and chicken tikka masala! Loved mango lassi drink too. Food menus are 50% off during lunch hours.
Newly opened China Jade Szechuan on UES!👍🏻$8.95 lunch deals: Stir-Fried Ckn w/ Roast Chilis, String Beans w/ Minced Pork & Veggie Chow Fun were all tasty & spicy & not too oily or salty (by request)
Steamed veggie dumplings had a nice filling. Skins were nice & thin. Dumplings tasted good but didn’t seem homemade & possibly frozen & out of a bag- the way a lot of average Chinese joints do it.
HH food + drink specials ALL-day Sun's & Mons + Tue-Sat 5-7pm. See attached HH menu!
Maine Wild Blueberry Crisp Gelato is made with milk from Maine farms, blueberries from Down East, vanilla beans from Madagascar, and crunchy oat streusel baked in Brunswick.
The burger of the month (June) was really really good. Spicy Fried cheese curds and pickled onions. Server Fernando was great.
Get the King Combo or the Sausage Combo. Douse your curly fries with their delicious mustard and get their strawberry or mango drink.
Corn dog, curly fries, fried oreo. Tasty but not mind-blowing and definitely not good for you.
Pastas are definitely the more frugal option here, where golden orbs of salmon roe are tucked into a nest of Papillons (farfalle or bow tie pastas) and bathed in a lemon-creme fraiche for $22. Daha fazlasını oku.
Amazing, get the truffle roll, dynamite, and spicy spider rolls. BYOB, put your name in and wait across the street at Ryan's Daughter, they'll even chill your wine while you wait. Poke will call you
Tasty fresh sushi. Truffle roll! Cash only, $18 min pp. No sep checks! Rigid BYOB rules (something like: 1 wine bottle per 2 ppl- A 6-pack counts as 1 wine bottle- No magnum or liquor bottles)
I love this place. Great food, good vibes. Happy hour is 4-7pm and 12am till closing. Great live performances every Mon, Tues, Fri night. Brunch menu available weekends 10 am - 4 pm.
$1 E coast oysters + $6 wines + save $3 on beers @ the bar during HH 4-7pm + 12am-2am. Live music Mon, Tue & Fri nights. Brunch menu available weekends 10 am - 4 pm. Also, Yelp Cash Back spot.
Warm burrito bowl with melted cheese on top is so good. Just ask for an option to make a burrito (bowl) "Wet".
Bolognese pasta was ok but more al dente, thicker & saltier than most. Sauce had no depth & lil’ meat. Seafood wasn’t good. Pricey for small portion. Prefer pasta from San Matteo’s & miss Maroni’s!
We loved their gelato! Chocolate was intense so you may want to order one scoop for starters:) Cheesecake is also delicious🍰🍰
Pain de Gruyere = to die for. Your mouth won't know what to do except smile :) Get a loaf to go if the bakery line isn't too long. If so, you can buy at the table at restaurant price for $0.50 more.
Best Baguette: baguette Monge-slightly swollen at middle & slender at tips, crackly outer crust yielding to a moist, almost damp crumb...tastes buttery w/o butter, rich & complex w. a subtle tang.
Delicious French pastries. Obviously the chocolate croissant is a must, but the Yuzu pastry is also good!
Chocolate almond croissants were some of the best I've ever had, not too heavy or oily. We had lunch - salad was good, salmon was amazing.
Their dogs come nestled inside some excellent Balthazar brioche buns, and the toppings are infallibly appropriate, though my favorite is probably the simple Bratwurst/Kraut/Mustard "Classic" ($7). Daha fazlasını oku.
Decent fried chickens and various versions of hot dogs that hit the spot! There is a seating area along with beer on tap inside, and one of the staffs last time was super friendly.
Vietnamese pork chop (Suon Nuong) was prepared well in ample portion. Food here is less salty than other Vietnamese places, so I was very satisfied with it.
Finally got the chicken sandwich and was quite delicious, hot and crunchy, plenty of sauce and full of flavour!!! Def better than your hate-filled Chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches
I love this Shake shack because it has the shortest line of them all. They also have indoor and outdoor seating.
Great food. Gobi app was very good. Chicken tikka, Malai kofta both very good. Lychee martini not so good. Coconut rice is nice.
A cozy little place; so cute, you may momentarily forget you're in New York. Order the Garganelli and the tiramisu for dessert
A little on the pricey side, but it's worth it. The gnocchi is one of the best I've ever tasted and the spaghetti bolognese is also quite tasty.
Even the dinner pastas are fascinating. The real vongole alla pescatora I ve been looking for.❤️
Amazing italian food of the highest quality, very posh as well. Def a celeb grubbing spot and tons of good looking upper eastsiders being cool and stuff. Also amazing rum raisin gelato.
This Lasagna makes me crazy. Why so good. Dare to say its the best lasagna in the city.👌
VERY BAD customer svc-Over 1-hr delivery & when we called, woman on phone wasn't apologetic & said that we're gonna have to wait anthr hr or she'll cancel our order. We're HANGRY!!!!
And a few more.. Massaman Curry, Lemongrass Pork Chop, Kway Tiew Gai Noodle Soup, Fried Rice Clay Pot, Mango Mousse Cake (w/ Mango Sorbet)
My fave Thai in Manhattan only 2 blks away w/ “spicy” (request) & distinct LOVEs: Up Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Jeed Jard Noodle Soup, Krapow Gai Sub, Kao Nar Gai, to name a few...
You can get European and American cheese. Coffee is from Counter Culture and bread from Bien Cuit. So they know what they are doing.
UES Flagship shop w/ focus on American cheeses + menu incl. grilled cheese sammies, soups, salads, charcuterie, wines, local beers & Noona ice cream. Will be back 4 Mac n’ cheese & everyday HH!
Bacon (pb and jalapeño) appetizer, grilled bucheron cheese appetizer, grilled octopus, and skirt steak were awesome. Monkey bread looked great, didn't get it. S'mores dessert was a nice finish.
IMPRESSIVE UES French bakery w/ FRESHEST Mixed Berries Tart, BEST Tarte aux Pommes + Flan Pâtissier I’ve had in yrs! Skip mediocre macarons! Quiches + Ham & Cheese Croissant are also MUST-TRY’s!
