A solid local spot, not touristy at all. The atmosphere is lively, but it does get loud. You&#39;ll need to raise your voice a bit for conversation. Good for a casual meal.

Steak&#39;s always cooked right. Kosher spot so it&#39;s pricey, but the quality&#39;s there. Quick bite for lunch.

Cozy spot with a real Southern feel in NYC. The history on the walls is a nice touch. Had the shrimp and grits for a late lunch - solid portion, well-executed. Service was efficient. Good for a business lunch near the office.

Solid brunch spot. The French toast with berry syrup is a winner. The three-cocktail brunch option is a nice touch, though I wish the pairings were a bit more adventurous. Went with a classic mimosa.

Perfect for a quick bite. Grabbed a slice of their pizza - honestly some of the best in the city. Service was fast, got me in and out during my lunch break. The fettuccini looked great too, maybe next time.

Love that they have a happy hour until 8 PM. Grabbed a $6 pint after work, which is a steal for this area. The bar itself is cozy with these nice, worn-in wooden stools. Just a good, no-fuss place to unwind.

Stumbled in to escape the rain near the MET. The macchiato was strong and hit the spot. Raspberry scone was nice and buttery, not dry at all. Busy place but they kept things moving. Solid spot for a quick coffee break.

Stopped in for a quick bite. The lighting is really warm and cozy, especially in the evening. Sat outside and it was nice. Staff was friendly, no complaints there.

Solid lunch spot. Their lunch specials are a good deal. The vodka penne was the highlight - creamy sauce, good portion. Service was quick, no waiting around.

Stopped in for a quick slice. The BBQ chicken one was really good, even after I took it home and reheated it later. Solid spot for a cheap, tasty bite.

Been coming here for years, and the clam chowder is still the best I&#39;ve found. For the price, the portion is generous&mdash;a proper bowl that&#39;s a meal on its own. It&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.

Came by on a whim. That crispy cauliflower is seriously good&mdash;light batter, still has a nice crunch. The salmon salad hit the spot too. Music later in the evening was a fun vibe. Solid spot.

Their chocolate chip cookies are exactly how I remember from years ago. Still the same great quality, crispy edges and soft middle. A solid spot.

The covered patio with heat lamps is a lifesaver on cold nights. Grabbed a table out there last week when it was freezing. Felt cozy, didn&#39;t need a jacket.

Solid drip coffee here with chocolate and nutty notes. Baristas are always friendly. A bit pricey for a regular cup, but it&#39;s my go-to spot when I&#39;m in the area.

This restaurant offers a great set menu for under $20, with generous portions and delicious food. The staff was friendly and made our dining experience enjoyable.

Been coming here for years, and the vibe is always the same. Just a chill, cozy spot to unwind. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Love the old-school deli vibe here. Feels authentic, like stepping back in time. The fresh cuts and bread are solid, and it&#39;s way more affordable than other places in the area.

The dim sum is a steal here, most plates are under $5. I was surprised they don&#39;t accept tips, so the final bill was exactly what I expected. The shrimp har gow were plump and fresh.

That burrata with honey was a standout. The creamy cheese and sweet honey just worked so well together. A really nice start to the meal.

Decent spot for a working lunch. WiFi is solid, plenty of outlets. The half-underground setup is quiet, good for focus. Coffee refills were prompt. It&#39;s a practical choice if you need to get things done.

The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. It&rsquo;s definitely on the expensive side, but that&rsquo;s pretty much what you&rsquo;d expect from a place like this.

Looks basic from the outside, but the food&#39;s solid. Got the chicken platter today. Huge portion for the price, no complaints. Quick service too, perfect for a fast lunch.

The farm-to-table thing is real here. Had the roasted carrots and they were so fresh, almost sweet. You can really taste the difference. Portion was a bit small for the price, but the flavor balance was spot on.

The creamy slaw was a nice side, good crunch from the purple onion and celery. I also had the Cookies &amp; Cream shake, which was pretty good and not overly sweet.

The staff surprised us with a little cake and a song. It was a really nice touch. The whole place has this warm, cozy vibe that just makes you want to linger.

The chicken makhani Frankie was really good. The roti was just right, not too much or too little filling.

It&#39;s been years since I last visited, and the vibe is still so warm and inviting. Just a really comfortable spot to settle in. Our waitress was lovely, though it did feel like they could&#39;ve used an extra hand or two.

The space is cozy and stylish. I really liked the low lighting and the comfortable booths. It felt relaxed, not too loud. A nice spot to just sit and enjoy a meal.

The bagels here are so good, especially with their cured fish. It&#39;s a solid spot for a savory breakfast and a coffee. Just a bit pricey for what it is.
