If you're looking for a place to wear that sample sale piece sitting in the back of your closet, try one of these restaurants.
KGB Bar
KGB Bar is a divey Soviet-themed bar in the East Village that hosts readings for the local literary scene.
Le Dive
Le Dive is a busy little wine bar in a very busy part of the Lower East Side, and it's a great spot to drink, snack, and take in a scene.
Lullaby Bar
The next time you're looking for a bar that has house-party energy and interesting cocktails, head to Lullaby on the Lower East Side.
Cosme
Cosme is an upscale Mexican restaurant in Flatiron that’s much more approachable than it appears to be.
Minetta Tavern
Minetta Tavern in Greenwich Village is home to some of the best steaks, chops, burgers, and overall feel good vibes that New York City has to offer.
Cervo’s
Despite the wait times, we wholeheartedly recommend having a fun, seafood-dominated meal at Cervo’s on the Lower East Side.
Don Angie
Don Angie is a modern Italian restaurant in the West Village that’s best enjoyed with a small group.
Mission Ceviche
Mission Ceviche is a fun Peruvian restaurant on the Upper East Side where you should bring a group.
Miss Lily’s
Miss Lily’s is a very sceney spot in Greenwich Village where good looking people can go eat spicy, tasty Caribbean food and stare at each other.
Bar Pitti
This sceney restaurant in Greenwich Village has a big outdoor patio where people go to be observed—but the classic Italian dishes are the real draw.
RedFarm
While RedFarm doesn’t deliver the most authentic dim sum experience, it is delivering quality food.
The East Pole
The East Pole is a restaurant where you should meet a friend for a martini in the east 60s.
Macao Trading Co.
"Look for the red lantern," instructs the Macao Trading Co. website. This is how you will know you have reached your destination - the Portuguese colony of Macao circa 1952, "a fugitive's heaven from which there is no turning back." Awesome. We're apparently having dinner at Universal Studios tonight.
Locanda Verde
The Tribeca restaurant is less of the celebrity scene it once was, but still makes very good Italian food.
The Grill
The Grill is the revamp of the legendary Four Seasons restaurant, run by the people behind Carbone. It’s very similar, very expensive, and worth it.
Acme
Acme has dropped its impressive Nordic menu in favor of a pretty standard Italian/American one. It's now much more about the scene than the food.
