'Inoteca 1 User Reviews
98 Rivington St. Italian $$ Lower East Side  
Whether acquired cold from a panel truck at a rural corner, or hot from a village macelleria, porchetta is Italy's favorite sandwich meat. Though duplicating this fennel-stuffed roast with the copper crackling skin in this country is patently impossible, 'Inoteca has made a noble stab at it.... More>>
10 Downing 1 User Reviews
10 Downing St. New American, Soul Food $$$$ West Village  
Chef Jason Neroni�s latest adventure is a staid Village bistro with wonderful views of Sixth Avenue and interesting art on the walls (plus a newly opened sidewalk seating area). Despite the eclectic menu, his interest in pork and Spanish food prevails. Baked feta is the best bar snack; striped... More>>
A Taste of Seafood 1 User Reviews
59 East 125th St. African, Seafood $ East Harlem  
This palace of fried seafood leapfrogged over 125th Street recently into glamorous new digs. Thankfully, the fried whiting sandwich is as good as ever: three crisp, lightly breaded filets deposited on white or whole wheat; squirt on the sauce from the phalanx of bottles on the counter. Hint: the... More>>
Aamchi Pao Write a Review
194 Bleecker St. Indian, Vegetarian $ Greenwich Village  
This small spot is dedicated to the Mumbai street foods based on pao, or pav (pronounced pow), a soft, junky white roll, usually buttered, that's served with many delicious, spicy things. The most iconic of these is the vada ("wada") pav, a sandwich filled with a fat, crispy, heavily spiced... More>>
African American Restaurant Maryway Write a Review
218 E 170th St. African $ Bronx  
This splendid Senegalese still cooks with palm oil, and the national dish of cheb arrives tinted a brilliant red-orange. The tiny grains of broken rice are heaped with eggplant, carrot, cabbage, yuca, and fried fish, and if you ask the cook, she'll give you a dab of pima—a red pepper... More>>
Agnanti Write a Review
7802 Fifth Ave. Greek, Middle Eastern $$ Bay Ridge  
This handsome restaurant focuses on the Greek community of Istanbul, turning out food that’s Mediterranean fusion, par excellence, with more conventional Greek food (emphasizing meat over fish) thrown in for good measure. The rooster stew is superlative, a tough bird turned tender in savory... More>>
Akdeniz Write a Review
19 W. 46th St. Mediterranean, Turkish $$ West 40s  
We felt lucky to stumble on this Turkish spot, whose doors were flung open on a warm afternoon to reveal an inviting pastel interior just below street level. We plowed through a half-dozen mezze, finding the fresh fried anchovies, octopus salad, and baba ghanoush especially tasty, served with a... More>>
Al Di La Trattoria‎ Write a Review
248 5th Ave. Italian $$ Park Slope  
Nominally Venetian, this Park Slope fave branches out into the cooking of Liguria, Emilia-Romagna, and Tuscany, always with an eye for quirky recipes and little-known wines. Ravioli stuffed with beets? Whipped salt cod with grilled polenta? Al Di La satisfies a taste for the earthy, the oily,... More>>
Alexandra Write a Review
455 Hudson St. Bistro $$$ West Village  
Bare brick, lots of mirrors, an aura of intimacy, and a well stocked bar: This West Village bistro has the decorative elements in place. The spaghetti, featuring cauliflower, prosciutto, and feta cheese, is a surprise favorite. The hamburger is also good ; moist and pink and nicely charred. The... More>>
Alexandria Restaurant and Fish Market Write a Review
537 West Side Ave. Egyptian, Seafood $ Jersey City  
This is the sixth seafood restaurant coming out of Alexandria, Egypt to appear in the metropolitan area, slinging whole fish blackened over charcoal (called "barbecue" here �� you must remove the skin before eating), or by deep-frying, the latter with a kooky spice coating that includes salt,... More>>
Ali Baba Write a Review
212 E. 34th St. Mediterranean, Turkish $$ Murray Hill  
What looks like a fast-food joint from the outside turns out to be an excellent and rather formal restaurant inside, a perfect date spot with its convincing fake fireplace. The ambitious menu takes some time to read––there are 10 lamb entrées alone––and includes plenty... More>>
Ali Baba Write a Review
912 Washington Ave. African, Indian $$ New Jersey  
Offering an expansive combination of Syrian, Palestinian, and North African fare, Ali Baba provides a handful of dishes unavailable in the usual restaurant of this genre. Any of the homestyle lamb stews ––which come in with a big plate of yellow rice––are totally dope,... More>>
Ali's Trinidad Roti Shop 2 User Reviews
1267 Fulton St. Jamaican, Trinidadian $ Bedford Stuyvesant  
There's a line out the door at this popular roti shack, where the marquee invites "Hurry, Hurry, Come for Curry." Of the rotis, our fave is conch—a plenitude of tender gastropod vying with potato for domination of the brown, thyme-inflected gravy. Or pick from curries of shrimp, goat,... More>>
Aliada 1 User Reviews
29-19 Broadway Greek $$ Long Island City  
Concentrating on the cuisine of Cyprus, Aliada complements the regular Greek menu with Middle Eastern flourishes. The horitaki salad adds the stealth herb cilantro to the tossed combination of cucumbers, caper leaves, arugula, scallions, lettuce, black olives, feta, and tomatoes, and even the... More>>
Alsalam Restaurant & Meat Market 1 User Reviews
7206 Fifth Ave. Middle Eastern $ Bay Ridge  
The chicken shawarma sandwich is the best in town—fresh cut from the homemade rotating cylinder, jammed in a pocketless pita with lettuce, tomatoes, sumac-dusted onions, and a powerful garlic sauce. With the surprise addition of split cornichons, it's then rolled in butcher paper and zapped... More>>
Alto Write a Review
520 Madison Ave. Italian $$$ East 50s  
From the amuse-bouche of cod mousse and pickled anchovy arranged like a delicate sculpture to the astonishing peach strudel, we enjoyed one of the best meals of the year here. The restaurant expresses a mature culinary vision—centered on the quasi-Teutonic food of Italy's Alto... More>>
Am-Thai Chili Basil Kitchen Write a Review
359 McDonald Ave. Thai $ Brooklyn  
As the name implies, the place really is just a kitchen, with a single table inside and another outside. Nevertheless, the Thai food is splendid, favoring the fare of Bangkok and the southern peninsula. This food tends to be rich in coconut milk, and most of the recommended curries are laced... More>>
Annie's Roti Shop Write a Review
127-07 Rockaway Blvd. Trinidadian $ Jamaica  
There's no better Trinidadian restaurant in Gotham, and maybe in Trinidad, either. The stuffed flatbreads called rotis are offered with a broad choice of fillings, including goat, chicken, conch, duck, and a potato-chickpea mixture. What's more, you can have further veggies added, such as... More>>
Anthos Write a Review
36 W. 52nd St. Greek $$$$ West 50s  
Chef Michael Psilakis took Greek food to new creative heights at Onera on the Upper West Side, amping up the vernacular cuisine of his ancestral homeland. But he outdoes himself at Anthos, incorporating all sorts of modern culinary notions into his cooking. The raw meze--a tiny, delectable... More>>
Ariyoshi Write a Review
810 Broadway Japanese $$$ 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>>
Treichville Write a Review
339 E. 118th St. African, Ivory Coast $ East Harlem  
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>>
Artisanal Write a Review
2 Park Ave. French $$$ Murray Hill  
A master of cheese in its myriad forms, capable of using it in every course, Artisanal is the rare restaurant that started out good but has become spectacular. This confident Parisian-style brasserie created by celebrated chef Terrance Brennan offers something for every taste, including a... More>>
Arturo’s Coal Oven Pizza Write a Review
106 W. Houston St. Italian, Pizza $$ Greenwich Village  
This is one of the original New York coal oven pizza joints; it was opened in 1957 and is still run by the same family. It�s crowded, loud and there�s live jazz (practically in your lap) every night. The pizza crust sports a nice char from the hot oven, and is thickish, salty and pleasantly... More>>
Arzu Write a Review
101-05 67th Rd Chinese, Turkish $ Flushing  
The city's second Uyghur restaurant—referring to a Turkic people in the Chinese province of Xinjiang—has opened just off Queens Boulevard. The menu features the usual Silk Road stuff: homemade noodles in beef soup (lagman), plump dumplings bulging with orange squash (manti), triangular... More>>
At Cafe Sim-Sim Write a Review
312 Ditmas Ave. Azerbaijani, Russian $$ Brooklyn  
Sim-Sim is one of New York’s rare Azerbaijani cafes, and just in case you’ve forgotten, Azerbaijan is an oil-rich former-Soviet republic in the Caucasus Mountains, a region sandwiched between Georgia and Iran. There are excellent charcoal-grilled kebabs, of course, of which our... More>>
