Reviews of New American Restaurants in New York City

116 East 16th Street between Irving Place and Union Square East 212/254.1600‎ $129 for three, with beers, with tip ♥ Wow, they made a big deal about the burgers here. Don’t get me wrong: they were satisfying, but nothing more incredible than what other places in the city has to offer. It also didn’t make…

54 Carmine Street on the corner of Bedford 212/255.2100 $90 each for a group of three, with a bottle of wine, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ Is it too early to name my favorite restaurant of 2009? Last year, I ate at Dovetail the day after Christmas (and a week after its official opening) and…

72 Hudson Avenue between Front and Water Streets, near DUMBO Brooklyn 718/522.1018 $40 each for a group of 5, with drinks and tip ♥ ♥ If you’re tired of the lumberjack look because you’ve seen enough of the same style at Freemans, Hearth and even the J. Crew Men’s Shop in TriBeCa, you’re better off…

178 Broadway, right under the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn 718/387-7400 about $350 for five, with a bottle of wine, with tip, cash only ♥ ♥ Our waiter spilled porterhouse juice all over my sister-in-law’s hat. She wasn’t wearing it at the time, but it still sucked when she realized it outside. It was windy and…

4th floor of the Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle at 60th Street 212/823.9335 $900 for two, with drinks, with extra tip apart from the included service fee ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ As soon as our waiter brought out a footstool for my purse so that I didn’t have to put it down on the…
-
110 East 7th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A 212/777.2151 $9 for a pork sandwich, without tip ♥ For Italians, porchetta means boneless pork roast that’s moist and juicy. Chef and co-owner Sara Jenkins doesn’t stray away from that definition: my $9 pork was no joke. The meat was shiny; its own fat glistening…
-
163 First Avenue off 10th Street https://reservations.momofuku.com/ about $300 for two, with beverage pairings, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ I was so busy at work last week that I didn’t even have time to be excited about our upcoming reservations at Ko. When Cameron told me she wanted to take me out to thank me…
-
568 Amsterdam Avenue between 87th and 88th Streets 212/799.7400 about $70 for two, with two beers, with tip ♥ I’ve never been big on moderation and that’s why a lot of the time, I find myself eating and drinking too much and paying way more than I can afford. At The Mermaid Inn, the Dr.…

403 First Avenue corner of 12th Street 646/602.1300 about $80 each for four, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ I don’t think I’ve met a more sincere maitre d’ than the petite woman at Hearth. We didn’t have reservations when four of us stopped by. We were hoping to get seated at the kitchen pass,…
-
462 Broadway corner of Grand Street 212/219.3300 about $120 for two, with four drinks, with tip ♥ L’Ecole’s five-course dinner is probably the city’s lowest-priced prix fixe at $40, but at that unbelievable price, how does the food taste? Well, like $8 apiece. The restaurant prides itself in using sustainable seafood but I missed any…
-
225 Park Avenue South at 18th Street 212/533.2500 about $40 each for four, with a pitcher of beer, with tip ♥ ♥ Sorry, we’re out of the pork spare ribs. A long pause from our table and then, what do you mean you’re out of the pork spare ribs? Well, you can try the Memphis-style…

354 Metropolitan Avenue near Havemeyer Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn 718/963.3404 about $60 for four, with a gallon of beer, without tip ♥ ♥ In case it hasn’t been obvious, I love pork. I was having a bad day and all I wanted was to get a couple of drinks where I can sit outside and enjoy…
