Food Scene
There's a “sultry”, “wine-cellar vibe” in play at this “gorgeous” LES basement offering “delicious” Venetian small plates (and particularly “wonderful” pastas) to a crowd of “hipsters, artists and the Uptowners who love them”; "flickering candles" keep things seriously "romantic", so it's "perfect for a date."

Amazing brunch/breakfast/lunch spot. Very popular and the wait can be quite long. But if you can get there early enough on a weekday it typically won't be too long of a wait. The blueberry pancakes are what they're known for.

This little restaurant has great cocktails as well as a good "New American" style menu. I love going for the Gincognito and some of the great appetizers.

"This Southwestern cantina/beer bar's got a great beer selection, which you can pair with their counter-service eats, like a pita grilled cheese or fish and chips, while playing a game of backgammon or chess."

Doughnut Plant

This is our favorite Dim Sum restaurant. The soup dumplings are absolutely amazing. The atmosphere seems very traditional, it takes a little to get used to the no music, but we go here probably 2 or 3 times a month.
