| Aria Wine Bar, a neighborhood gem in the West Village |
Let us know which off-the-radar eateries should be included - that hole-in-the-wall pasta joint, or maybe that totally cozy bistro that is always buzzing but never too crowded that you can't get a table. You can give us your nominees in the comments, or email buzz@zagat.com with your thoughts on who should be included (and throw some photos in there if you want!). We'll collect all the entries, and narrow the list down to a collection of the best neighborhood gems that NYC has to offer. Stay tuned.
cafe buon gusto on UES! it honestly has great, cheap italian food.
ReplyDeleteSylvia's in Harlem
ReplyDeleteBacchanalia Restaurant in Chicago......A HIDDEN GEM!
ReplyDeleteGreat Italian Food, Wonderful Portions, and Friendly Staff, and Owners very Accommodating and So Down to Earth. A Must Try Restaurant in Chicago!!!
Hanci Turkish Cuisine on 10th Avenue between 56th & 57th. A family run spot that has a simple, authentic and limited menu with extremely fresh food that's reasonably priced. The owners and staff are very friendly and warm, and the atmosphere is very inviting.
ReplyDeleteTeddy's in Williamsburg--always the real thing in a neighborhood that can be too precious for words.
ReplyDeleteDonguri! A total gem!

Noodle Pudding in Brooklyn Heights...best Italian comfort food anywhere.
ReplyDeleteKasadela on E 11th
ReplyDeleteCeleste on Amsterdam & W. 84th
ReplyDeleteCacio e Pepe on 2nd Ave near 11th st is my favorite Italian (Roman) restaurant. Their namesake dish of pasta and cheese with black pepper is the "best" mac and cheese in NYC.
ReplyDeleteHENRY'on the Upper West Side. They were the first to open a serious dining room up there and they are still the best. Chef Mark Barrett makes great modern American bistro food with a strong influence from his time in Italy and at Babbo. And one of the great rooms in town. Oh, and the only all-American wine list on this island.
ReplyDeleteHenry's on Broadway @ 105th Street is a great upper west side restaurant, bar, and hang out!
ReplyDeleteChef Leth is a magician and high priest of comestibles at the Vinegar Hill House. Solipsists stay away! Hemingway's ghost is welcome...
ReplyDeleteLove Henry's! Not much going on in this neck of the woods, but I can always count on Henry's to give me delicious food at reasonable cost. And it's great to have a late night bar open with food being served for those midnight cravings!!
ReplyDeleteDA SILVANA FOREST HILLS ALWAYS EXCELLENT
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see Henry's listed! For the UWS, it's easily our favorite neighborhood restaurant. My husband and I bring our friends there weekly, the food is lovely and everyone is so charming. We were there Tuesday night since they are the only place nearby that serves food after 11pm.
ReplyDeleteGascogne on 8th Ave & 17th/18th by far is a true gem. We have been going here for over 10 years and it has never, EVER disappointed - it has only continued to enchant. The charming back garden is wonderful in good weather, the inside restaurant cozy in poor weather. The food is impeccable every single time, as is the wine. This is now my 9 & 14 year old's daughter's favorite NYC restaurant as well!
ReplyDeleteParadou in the Meatpacking District - best brunch ever!
ReplyDeleteGascogne 8th Ave and 18th Street. I love this place! Great food and wonderful service.
