Visiting NYC

"Hand pulled noodles that are delicious and cheap. Seating is laughably tight and limited so be prepared to go elsewhere with your meal."

"If you’ve never experienced live jazz in a tiny club, I can’t recommend it enough. Reservations are best, but if you show up really early you can often squeeze in on the waitlist. Grab a seat on the side of the stage and you’ll feel like you’re in the band. "

"Fun diner vibe. Bagels and smoked fish are the staples here. Try a fountain drink or maybe matzo ball soup."

"Love their bagel lox sandwich. Right next door to the grocery store which is legendary and fun to roam around in."

"Great Thai food and if you're dining solo, the bar is a nice experience. Happy hour drinks and oysters until 5pm every day. "

"Been hitting up since stumbling upon it over a decade ago. Decor inside is covered in golden lamps. Good vibes and solid Thai food."

"If you're lucky enough to get in here, do not hesitate to order the burger."

"A NYC classic! Like to head here after a visit to the met or for a night cap when in UES. Grab a martini and do some people watching. If you're able, sit in the piano room. You might even spot some famous faces."

"A bit of a scene, but the food was great. Get the dumplings and the khachapuri."

"Cozy up to the bar and have the friendly bartenders bring you a burger and a vesper martini. "

"You’re here for the burger. No reservations so line up early. If you want the 4 Charles burger but can’t get in the door there, get a similar burger here. "

"Must have Cinnamon bun. Cakes also good. "

"Seating is limited but the space is a decent size which means if you find a seat it’s relaxing, not chaotic. "

"Everything was good but favorites were the branzino, the butter chicken wings, and the rice which was infused with aromatics."
