A stunning greek diner!! The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. Their scrambled eggs and greek potatoes with tzatziki are absolutely delicious. I recommend this place to everyone I know haha!
Baby Blues Luncheonette
Don't get me started on their breakfast burrito!!! It is a blend of amazing flavors and the seasoned potatoes paired with the chorizo, cheese, and avocado send me to a place that resembles heaven. I absolutely LOVE it.
Ceremonia Bakeshop
You cannot go wrong with any of the pizza flavors/combinations they offer here. My personal favorite is the fig jam & bacon white pizza — perfectly salty and sweet! The hot honey is a nice touch as well.
L'Industrie Pizzeria
They have a variety of beautiful flavors here. My favorite is their guava & cheese doughnut! the walnut crumble on top is such a nice touch.
Fan Fan Doughnuts
If you are a BBQ lover this one goes out to you! Chill atmosphere and flavorful dry-rub BBQ. And tasty beer!!

My first time coming here was seven years ago and I still come back all the time. I always order the shrimp pad kee mao — it never lets me down! It is savory and rich in flavor.

The Salted Brown Butter & Oat Latte is absolutely phenomenal. I dream about it every day. I could chug a gallon of it!!

The bagels here are a work of art. They have a beautiful golden exterior and are always super fresh. My personal fave is the salt bagel. Another cool thing that they do is change up their cream cheese menu. They have a few staples (plain, scallion, e...

This place is so special and warm to me. Every time I go I get the spicy squid bibimbob!!
The Kunjip
The massaman curry short rib fell off the bone! and the kimchi fries were super yummy too!
OBAO | Midtown East
Queens
I come here for the AYCE sushi, and it just hits every time! They do not skimp out on the sashimi either! And I love that they have a section on their AYCE menu for cooked food, just in case you come with someone who is a little iffy about sushi.
Akino
Don't get me started on the salteñas and papitas!!
Bolivian Llama Party
This place definitely leans towards the fancier side. I would recommend this Latin American restaurant for a classy date night. Nice drinks! I loved their sangria. A plus is that it's right by the water (Gantry Plaza State Park) which makes for a nic...

Delicious Dominican food! The portions were good and everything was flavorful — I loved the beef stew and mofongo con camarones!!
Ajo y Oregano
It is so hard to find authentic Vietnamese flavors in my immediate neighborhood but I don’t mind traveling a bit out of my neighborhood to get to this place! They have delicious pho!!
Cơm Tấm Ninh Kiều
I've been coming here for seafood ever since I was a kid. It holds a special place in my heart and is what sparked my love for seafood. I always order the lobster in some capacity — broiled, fried, with pasta.
