Japanese |

East Village |
|
 Itzakayas have lately taken the city by storm. These Japanese pubs have added creative dishes to the national canon, and thus expanded our idea of what Japanese food can be. Ariyoshi’s menu is a multiplex document that could take a half-hour to study, but includes every Japanese dish you’ve ever... More>> |

B & H Dairy Restaurant |

Kosher |
$ |
East Village |
|
 This vestige of the theater district once known as the Jewish Broadway is also one of the few kosher dairy restaurants remaining in town. Their dreamy soups––mushroom barley, borscht, cabbage, and vegetable, in descending order of preference––come with two thick slices of buttered challah bread... More>> |

Asian, Indian |
$$ |
East Village |
|
 Though the prices are 50 percent higher than surrounding Indian restaurants, the surcharge is well worth it. Among the usual curries, and tentative attempts to evoke regional cooking, is dumphakt, a magnificent round pie filled with nut-fragrant chicken chunks. The tandoori-fired lamb chops also... More>> |

Belcourt |

| 84 E. 4th St. |
Bistro |
$$$ |
East Village |
|
 The green premises with antique bar and banquettes suggest a bistro, but Belcourt is slightly more. It offers such speculative bistro fare as oil-poached octopus with cardamom-pickled vegetables in an appetizer portion, and an entrée trio of roasted pork belly, sausage, and cheeks. Skip... More>> |

Curry-Ya |

Japanese |
$$ |
East Village |
|
 Curry-ya takes the most plebian of Japanese dishes and elevates it by gentle tweaking. Every order consists of a ring of rice, curry gravy, meat or chicken, and a selection of four substances to be strewn on top: pickled green-onion bulbs, daikon dyed red, raisins, and flakes of dehydrated...

DBGB Kitchen & Bar |

East Village |
|
 Daniel Boulud's most populist restaurant yet is dedicated to homemade sausages and beer. And what sausages! There's boudin Basque, crafted from pork blood and pig's head that forms a black, sticky round on the plate and tastes completely wonderful; the Parisienne is composed of pale, plump links...

East Village |

 The 15-item menu of small plates touches on the tropes of molecular gastronomy. Three or four make a meal. There's an egg cooked at 147 degrees (the temperature at which albumen coagulates), a squid body stuffed with lentils and chorizo, and a savory mussel broth topped with celery foam... More>> |

Desnuda |

Seafood, South American |
$$$ |
East Village |
|
 Desnuda looks like a typical upscale wine bar, but feels like a night in your stoner friend's basement –– a friend who just happens to have a cooler full of fish, a rack of nice wine, and a head full of good ideas. The place specializes in South American wines and "new world ceviche" which... More>> |

East Village |

 The room looks a Pinkberry crossed with a submarine. The jalapeño hush puppies are marvelously well fried, the fried trumpet mushrooms on the Greek salad look like onion rings, and the carrot risotto is a shocking shade of orange — like carrot distilled to its essence. It’s all a bit trippy, not... More>> |

East Village |

 Nothing better on a blustery day than one of H.C.’s meal-size soups––ruthang momo, for example, beefy homemade dumplings immersed in a thin broth pleasing subtlety. As you dive deeper, you’ll find freshly shelled peas, cilantro, baby spinach leaves, and, finally, a nest of bean-thread noodles,... More>> |

Hummus Place |

| 109 St. Marks Pl. |
Mediterranean |
$ |
East Village |
|
 With admirable economy, this tiny restaurant concentrates on one foodstuff, and one alone. Luckily, the hummus is superb—creamy, garlicky, and paradoxically dense and light with alternating forkfuls. Of three configurations, the best involves the warm fava bean stew known as "fool" poured... More>> |

Jimmy's No. 43 |

| 43 E Seventh St. |
Bar food, Bistro |
$$$ |
East Village |
|
 Handily bridging the gap between a creative modern bistro and a beer bar with exotic pulls and bottles, Jimmy's strives to be underground in more ways than one. The menu changes daily, and the chef takes plenty of chances. We inhaled the sausage snack, the creamless corn soup, the heirloom... More>> |

East Village |

|
For the money, this is one of the best lobster rolls in the city––sweet, large chunks of lobster meat stuffed into a properly squishy, buttered and toasted hot dog bun. At four ounces of meat for $14, you can‚t beat it. There are also perfectly delicious crab rolls, and shrimp rolls. Order yours... More>> |

Asian |

East Village |
|
 There are a half-dozen Asian-noodle palaces in the East Village, but this one manages to do it with a twist. The focus is on ramen;the Japanese adaptation of Chinese lo mein;but with Korean flourishes. Thus you can get a fiery bowl of radish kimchi or a quintet of meat-stuffed dumplings as an... More>> |

African |

East Village |

 The brik alone makes this new North African worth a visit, a half-moon turnover fashioned from flaky warka pastry, filled with tuna, capers, parsley, and an egg that gets cooked as the brik fries. Among entrees, the prune and lamb-shank tajine rules. Note that neither it nor the less desirable... More>> |

Num Pang Sandwich Shop |

Cambodian, Sandwiches |

East Village |

 Num Pang means "sandwich" in Khmer; the restaurant is single-minded in its eponymous devotion to Cambodian sandwiches, offering six different versions and nothing else to speak of, although the blood orange lemonade is very tart and refreshing. The sandwiches are petite, about half the size of... More>> |

Persimmon Kimchi House |

East Village |

 Persimmon has just one small room and one long, communal table. The four-course, prix-fixe menu, which changes every two weeks, lists three choices per course to select from. Some items seem to be perennials: classic Korean soups like kimchi-pork stew (jigae) and short-rib stew, as well as... More>> |

East Village |

 This single-minded sandwich shop serves only one meat;porchetta, or Italian roast pork. The lush meat is garlicky and rosemary-scented. It's wonderful tucked into a ciabatta roll with a scattering of cracklings that are as crispy as potato chips. The place is tiny and sweet: blue and white tile,... More>> |

East Village |

Despite the dull-as-dishwater name, The Smith is among the finest gastropubs in the city. The lamb schnitzel sings with flavor, and you get two massive slabs poised on a potato salad zapped with French grebiche sauce, laced with mustard and capers. The joint pays special attention to vegetables,... More>> |

 This bare-bones but jolly pub is dedicated to high quality German sausages and beer. Currywurst, a Berlin street-food favorite, here consists of a juicy pork-veal sausage, blanketed with reddish curry sauce, which tastes like equal parts ketchup, barbecue sauce, and Japanese curry. Skinny fries... More>> |

 Spawned by a remarkable Isaan (northeastern Thailand) café in Jackson Heights, Zabb City specializes in dishes you're not likely to find at other Thais. That means loads of tart meat and seafood salads, oodles of noodles, and plenty of meal-size soups. What really knocked us out were the... More>> |
