 This palace of fried seafood leapfrogged over 125th Street recently into glamorous new digs. Thankfully, the fried whiting sandwich is as good as ever: three crisp, lightly breaded fillets deposited on white or whole wheat; squirt on the sauce from the phalanx of bottles on the counter. Hint:... More >> |

 The city's only full-blown Ivory Coast restaurant (other establishments we would characterize as coffee shops) is named after a bustling Abidjan neighborhood, and the excellent cooking reflects the combined tribal and Gallic roots of the cuisine. Peppe soup de poisson is really a... More >> |

 This airy and comfortable truck stop wrested the palm from La Hacienda as the foremost Mexican restaurant in El Barrio. The fiery red pozole is the best of its type, heaped with "flowered" hominy and small cubes of pork, served with a fulsome condiments bar and three fried tortillas for crumbling. More >> |

 Don?t be dissuaded by the fast-food glow of the premises, and surfaces covered in acres of brightly colored Formica?El Aguila (?The Eagle?) is a very serious taqueria, and even though they often can?t offer you half of the wall menu, the things they always have (tacos, tortas, quesadillas) are...

This home-grown burger mini-chain seeks to outflank places like Five Guys by offering similar prices, but also an expanded menu that includes wraps, salads, and lots of fried sides (including such far-flung items as the Caribbean batata tuber). But that?s not the end of the gimmicks. There are... More >> |

 The menu of this pink palace of pig, located on one of East Harlem's busiest corners, also encompasses Dominican dishes, including seafood, soups, and batidas, but we dream about the codfish fritters and alcapurrias, meat-stuffed torpedoes with a yautia and green plantain shell. More >> |

 Where's the best place to get a torta? At a Mexican bakery, of course, where the round telera roll is fresh out of the oven. The milanesa torta bombs a razor-thick breaded steak with mayo, jalapeños, onions, avocado, and lettuce. More wildly, you can get your torta topped with two tamales. More >> |

 When East Harlem lost its best Italian restaurant, Andy's Colonial, Patsy's expanded its menu to include such southern Italian soul food as eggplant rolatini, cavatelli with broccoli rabe, and an unusually good pasta fagioli soup.

 With a name more fit for an Eastern European dominatrix than an Indian restaurant, Polash debuted not long ago in a section of East Harlem that must have been frankly surprised at the appearance of such an establishment.
