Starck design lounge - cool and weird, fun place to go, also there is library lounge section as well
An upscale fun experience, relaxed and different then most bars - each drink is in a different container!..sizes vary!.. enjoy
This is designed by famous architect Tadao Ando, (one of EchoDA's favorite architects), a purely zen like experience in an upscale setting.
in addition to the cool food, the underground dinning space is glamorous, as well as library section at the lower level is a must see.. out of this world experience
This space has been around for ages, and still has that modern appeal, especially the skylight, as it is sandwich'd between two buildings!
Celeb sightings galore and hot hot staff! Request the Loft Suite- you will feel like you’re in my apartment! -Derek, The A-List: New York
Mario Batali's osteria maybe be his best effort in New York; it's certainly his most relaxed and consistent. The cacio e pepe is world class. [Eater 38 Member] Baca selengkapnya.

Babbo Ristorante e Enoteca, opened by Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich in June 1998, is an exuberant celebration of the best of Italian food, wine and lifestyle.
Skip the pizza and go straight to the dessert. The best gelato in NYC! -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef
This is a must-stop for me when I’m in NYC, but you can’t go wrong at any of David Chang’s restaurants. -Monica Pope, Top Chef
Make sure you’ve got clean socks on when you dine here – removing your shoes is required before entering the dining room.
This landmark has something for everyone, including history buffs (JFK owned a pad there), jazz lovers (see live sets in the Café) and celeb watchers (it's Tom, Katie and Suri's home away from home).
For an appetizer, get the pasta trio. You can choose any three pastas on the menu, and they will bring everyone at your table a sample of each. It's worth it -- this is some of the best Italian in NYC
This classic eatery hasn't been around for 100 years for no reason - the smoked fish, latkes, and friendly waitstaff are legendary. But beware - you'll never settle for subpar lox ever again!
Kind of an under-the-radar pick, but the burger here is one of the best I've had in NYC. Also, if you don't order the Scotch Egg I'm going to come down and punch you in the face. It's delicious.
Sit upstairs in the corner and look out over 2nd St & Ave A. One of the best seats in NYC to have a drink. Hint: don't try this one weekend.
One of my top 2 go-to spots for dinner in the East Village (the other being Casmir). I always go for: strip steak medium rare, béarnaise sauce, fries, escargot, cabernet. (ps: decent brunch too)
Walk the whole thing (sunset = best). If its night time, look for the exhibitionists Doing Their Thing in the windows of the Standard Hotel. Sit in sunken mini-theater (you'll know it when you see it)
Trivia: "angel's share" is a term that describes the wine that escapes through evaporation during the barrel aging process. (I learned this at a bourbon tasting down in New Orleans)
Feels more cool than the food is good (hidden staircase, no sign). Pass on the paella, but shoot for the chinese sausages. ps: BYOB.
Winter time + midweek + Backroom + fireplace = one of the better spots on a cold night in Lower East Side (backup plan: fireplace @ The Delancey). Just watch out for the dbags!
Underground cocktails in the East Village by master mixologist Jim Meehan.-Jimmy Bradley , Top Chef
Reynolds is the best mixologist I've met. I highly recommend the Waterloo Sunset.
From Thrillist: "Each piece of poultry perfection is marinated in fish sauce & palm sugar, deep-fried, then tossed in garlic and caramelized Phu Quoc fish sauce." Baca selengkapnya.
The fried chicken dinner is delicious, relatively inexpensive, and the most stress-free way to enjoy noodle bar.
Sample quirky treats like the decadent Salty Pimp, a chocolate-dipped vanilla cone with dulce de leche and sea salt. The shop is small, so get your cones to-go. Baca selengkapnya.
The Spears Building on West 22nd Street featured loading docks that led right onto the High Line. Those docks now help support the 22nd Street Seating Steps in the park's second section. Baca selengkapnya.
The door can be tough (though easier than Top of the Standard's next door), but Le Bain has developed some nifty, eclectic programming spanning top-tier house D.J.s and decadent gay nights. Baca selengkapnya.
Looking for Pepsi or Coke? Don't try this hotel's vending machine. Instead of snacks and drinks, their trendy machine dispenses $88 bikinis. Baca selengkapnya.
“Spice Market makes me forget that I'm living in one of the busiest cities in the world! Every single dish is amazing and the decor is so therapeutic!” – Meredith, Setup Squad
The fried poached egg sandwich is insane. It's a poached egg. Somehow, fried, with the yolk still running. Boggles the mind.
