105 North 6th Street between Berry and Wythe Streets, Williamsburg, Brooklyn718/963-0608 $150 for three, with three drinks, with tip Nothing on the menu tops twenty dollars at Sweetwater and that’s a very good thing. Even for dishes under that price, portions are generous and we wonder why we do not go to Williamsburg more often.…

7 East 47th Street 2nd floor between Madison and Fifth Avenues212/317-2802$350 for two, with four beers, with tip Dining in Kurumazushi is no joke and that’s apparent as soon as you walk in the tight second floor space in midtown Manhattan. The entire staff greets you loudly and the attention given doesn’t wane until you…

13th Street on Ninth Avenue, New York City212/675-2322$150 for three, with three drinks, without tip You walk into Spice market and you immediately think, This place is massive! The place is beautifully decorated, if not a little too dark, and utilizes a lot of wood instead of glass like 66, another Jean-Georges restaurant. Spice Market…

176 Perry Street on West212/352-1900about $150 for two, with two drinks, without tip Whenever I tried to make a reservation at Perry St., my only option was either 6pm or at 11:30.

5 Mott Street at Worth, New York City 212/566-8388 about $60 for two, without drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ I never thought I’d say this but I love vegetarian food! That is, if it’s from Buddha Bodai.

331 West 4th Street at Jane 212/242.9502 about $45 for two, with a few drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ Possibly the best burgers in New York City besides Le Parker Meridien’s, people wait at Corner Bistro not just for the $2.50 McSorley’s but also for the Bistro Burger, a slab of juicy beef so…

60 Clinton Street between Rivington and Stanton 212/253.1960 about $100 for two, with two drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ I rarely go to an Italian restaurant because I can’t, and don’t want to, eat a whole big bowl of pasta. Falai serves the familiar but transcends at the same time because of the imaginative…
