 This long-running downtown seafood spot (founded 1997) was conceived as something of a counterweight to the ponderous Oyster Bar at Grand Central, a looser and hipper spot where, nonetheless, the number of raw oysters offered was impressive. The place is even more relaxing today, because the... More >> |

Skip the plain burger for the signature Bash one, juicy and laden with bacon jam, caramelized onions, and American cheese--it won the People's Choice award at the 2009 Burger Bash at the New...

 Though the old cast-iron oven notes it was made in 1905, Lombardi's bakery dates to 1898. This is the place that invented American pizza, and the pies are still damn good;thin-crusted and brushed with tart tomato sauce. You can't go wrong with sausage and extra garlic, but if you want to take a... More >> |

 This place is so confident of its sushi, there's no sign outside, though you can see four chefs working furiously through the window of the narrow, wood-intensive space.
