So you wanna eat good food eh? Well you’ve come to the right place! Here’s my list of restaurants that I think is worth checking out.
Most of them are 3 and 4 stars, those are the ones I think they’re worth your time, money and stomach space. I’ve sprinkled a few reviews here and there where I think it’s popular in NYC, but less worthwhile, so you’ve been warned!
I’ve already done the hard part of doing all the research of only eating at the best of the best places for you. I hope these posts saves you from Food FOMO. The last thing you should be thinking when you dine out is “Crap, I should have gotten that instead!! *RAGE*”
I’ve separated these into two different lists: Everyday Eats and Special Occasions.
Click on the restaurant’s name to see my review. Right now these are sorted by star rating, but you can also click the headers such as Neighborhood to sort the table. Please let me know in the comments below if you have any fave restaurants I should check out ASAP!
Caveat: the sortable table below might not work in older browsers. Sorry!
