56 MacDougal Street between Houston and Prince 212/254.8640 about $120 for four, with drinks, with tip ♥ 12 Chairs tastes so much better from the outside than inside. We were famished, but another restaurant around the area couldn’t accommodate four people for at least another hour. We walked down one of my favorite streets in…

174 Elizabeth Street between Spring and Kenmare 212/226.4642 $32 for two, without drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ Good Mexican food is hard to come by in New York City, so when I find a place I like, I try to go back whenever I crave Mexican food that’s more filling than one taco off…

199 Prince Street between MacDougal and Sullivan 212/375.8275 $150 for three, with four drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ I’m pretty sure that when the poet Christina Rossetti wrote Goblin Market, she didn’t imagine a restaurant team to be inspired by it. There was something tempting, almost lustful, about the magical fruits the goblin-men were selling.…

28 Grand Street between Thompson and Sixth Avenue 212/625.0362 ♥ ♥ I used to go to Palacinka way back when during the dot-com days. When my job moved offices back to the West Village, I was eager to visit again and eat one of their crepes. In Central Europe, a crepe is called palaÄinka and…

71 Spring Street between Crosby and Lafayette Streets 212/966.5050 $120 for two people, with four drinks at the bar, with tip ♥ I haven’t been to a nice bathroom with communal sinks since my clubbing days–and I mean, like a real club, not the ridiculous Sea in Williamsburg, Brooklyn–and I’ve never been to AIX Brasserie…

58 MacDougal Street between Prince and Houston 212/674.4968 $90 for two, with a bottle of red, without tip ♥ ♥ I’ve walked by Salt many times and have always been curious. We stopped by on a Friday night without reservations. They were completely booked but the waitress invited us to sit down with a “We’ll…

38 MacDougal Street off Prince 212/475.7500 $80 for two, with 3 drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ Updated, 2008: Provence will reopen in May as Hundred Acres. I was delighted when I walked by Provence several months ago and saw that it was reopening with help from the owners of Five Points and Cookshop. I’ve eaten…

222 Lafayette Street between Spring and Broome Streets 212/343.3236 $90 for three with Birch beer and two glasses of sparkling wine, without tip ♥ ♥ Ed McFarland, another Pearl Oyster Bar graduate, has opened up his own seafood restaurant and rawbar. (Ex Pearl partner, Mary, left to open Mary’s Fish Camp.) The location is great…
-
265 Lafayette Street, off Prince 917/338.6207 $50 for two, BYOB for now, with tip ♥ ♥ I remember loving Falai when I visited two years ago. A panetteria has opened down the block since then, and now a cafe on the west side. Cafe Falai is BYOB and closes at 8pm while they wait for…
-
136 West Houston Street off Sullivan 212/228.4181 $150 for three people with six drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ I’m always walking on Houston Street, but I have to admit that I never pay attention to the restaurants on the street. There are a few off Sullivan Street, right before you turn towards Bleecker, but I’ve…

A Vietnamese sandwich, or bánh mì, has minced pork, potted meat, salami, carrots, cucumbers and cilantro. They are served in a slightly toasted French baguette with a special sauce that brings all the fillings together. Skip on the mayonnaise and order an iced Vietnamese coffee while you wait. There are also the neo-bánh mìs like…

132 Crosby Street between Houston and Prince Streets 212/965.1777 $7 for rice with two choices, with chai, without tip ♥ ♥ This hole-in-the-wall is only one of the stops a New York City cab driver makes during his daily route. For $7, the guy behind the Lahore counter will give you rice with your two…
