Came for a little catchup lunch with my longtime friend and everything was delicious. We also talked for hours and weren’t rushed despite how popular this place is. I got the chestnut ravioli, french onion soup and my friend got the lamb sandwich all were tasty. Cream puffs were okay.

A staple restaurant for a ny trip, especially for their brunch! The bread basket is absolutely worth it, much better than buying individual pastries. It same with a good selection of sweeter pastries like sticky bun and breads, also came with generic jams but not really needed when the pastries are so good by themselves. I also tried the Eggs Norwegian, the eggs Benedict with salmon. The highlight is their hollandaise sauce which was perfect consistency and flavor. The potato’s were crispy and flavorful, everything you want for a side. Service was exceptional, with all the staff being very attentive and lovely. My water glass and coffee were never empty the entire time there. Also would suggest trying to go on a weekday for breakfast, weekends get extremely packed in. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with great food and service, completely worth going to at least once!

As good today as it was twenty five years ago. We visited on a Saturday for breakfast. Very warm reception from the hosts at the door. The Croque Madame -excellent Herb omelette - excellent Pancakes -excellent Applewood bacon excellent. It cost 100$ for three of us. It was worth it. Fast and efficient service. Very busy.

What a lovely treat! Service is amazing here. We tried three desserts and we would not be able to choose the best one. All of us had steak frites and they were delicious.

This was the best restaurant from our whole trip to NYC. We had made reservations before even landing in New York. It did not disappoint. From the food to the service everything was awesome. Everyone loved what they ordered. Worth every penny. Definitely want to come back.

Super fast service, iconic food. We arrived around 5:30pm on a Saturday and we were seated before 6pm. Expect a wait, it's a popular place. We got the pepperoni pizza and an order of meatballs and both were delicious. The meatballs came in an ample amount of sauce which we scooped up with the crust of the pizza to make sure none of it went to waste. It's cash only, so make sure you bring cash or are prepared to use the ATM. I also really enjoyed the classic feel of the decor and the celebration of heroes on the walls.

Lombardi’s is a historic spot and definitely worth a visit if you're in NYC! The atmosphere is classic and cozy, and the service is friendly and attentive. The pizza is solid—authentic, with a great thin crust and quality toppings. However, I found the garlic to be a bit overwhelming for my taste. It was very garlicky, which took away from the overall balance of flavors. If you love garlic, you'll definitely enjoy it, but for me, it was a bit too much. Still, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of NYC pizza history!

Ok, born and raised in Brooklyn and I've never been here in 40 years. My family come to visit from Wisconsin and talks non-stop about this place. What and amazing Italian pizza experience. Definitely worth the meal. FYI... Cash only!
Leroy Thompson - a week ago

My daughter and I visited Lombardi on 1/1/2025 and were their first guests of 2025. The service was great, the food was amazing- fresh herb and sauce, pasta and pizza portion are great (we are from TX), and the bread sticks were still steaming when they came to the table with nice crunch outside but soft inside. They packed our leftover pizza so well so we could easily take it to the Liberty Island for the rest of day. In the end they surprised us with a piece of cherry cheesecake and told us our lunch was on them because we were their first customers of 2025! 😄 We were in disbelief and surprised and so beyond thankful to their kindness. We ate the pizza leftover the same evening after watching a show and they were still yummy even without heating it up. Thanks to John and the other staff. You guys made our 2025 begin with wonderful memory and blessing.

stumbled upon La Esquina Brasserie entirely by accident, walking along Lafayette Street in New York, but what a find it turned out to be! A tour guide had mentioned it, but discovering it on my own made it feel like a hidden gem. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. You head down the steps, and it’s like stepping into a secret speakeasy. The lighting was just right, creating a warm and inviting vibe. The barmen were fantastic—friendly, professional, and really added to the experience. The food was another highlight. Their tacos and other dishes were delicious, and the drinks paired perfectly. What surprised me most was how reasonably priced everything was; it felt like a luxury experience without breaking the bank. The crowd there was equally wonderful—friendly, relaxed, and lovely to chat with. It added to the charm of the place. I’d recommend La Esquina Brasserie to anyone looking for a unique and memorable spot in New York. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience you won’t forget.

Really cool place - if you didn’t know about it, you’d probably walk straight past it. The front looks like a very small ‘hole in the wall’ eatery but once you’re in, they direct you downstairs, through the kitchen, into the restaurant. Nice bar area, nice ambiance. A bit dark inside and loud music, tables quite close together, but good food and great service. Definitely worth a visit.

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the underground speakeasy restaurant La Esquina. Reservation is required to access this one via a guarded door leading to the underground scene with cramped but very lively bar, restaurant and dj scene! Food is generally very good but nothing that particularly stands out as deserving five stars.
Eric D - 4 months ago

You have to try this place! you walk up to a very unassuming deli-like restaurant and note that you have a reservation for La Esquina - the place was empty - no tables, nothing. The host radios to somebody else that hes sending a party of 2 down. Then a hidden door in the wall opens and we are led to the basement of this building which is likely 100 years old - Very cool! - food was great and service was great too! Neat place!

My husband and I both really enjoyed our food. The tacos were great and so was literally everything else that we ordered. I also loved my spicy cocktail, cant recall the exact name. The waiter was very sassy, but I wouldn’t say he was rude. I found the vibe to be great as I really enjoy people watching. We paid around 300 usd which isn’t little for a street place like this but I think it was worth it 🍹

Worth the wait and the slightly cramped space. Everything we ordered here was surprisingly great. The pictures alone look great - but they taste even better than they appear. But the highlight for me was the Tie-Dye Pie. It doesn't make sense how good it is. It is super light and crisp, yet the vodka sauce gives it a richness. It is so well balanced - probably my favorite thin crust pie anywhere.

I asked my cousin to take me to a yummy New York Pizza. This place was amazing! The house made sauce was so flavorful, and the thin crust had the perfect crunch. We came in hungry so we ordered the Heirloom Tomato Caprese as an appetizer and that was a great. We also ordered a pasta dish plus the amazing Pizza! Everything was so delicious that we left full and no leftovers! We ate it all :-) The atmosphere is amazing, with a rustic vibe that’s both cozy and comfortable. The service was equally impressive, very attentive and friendly staff, always making sure we were enjoying our meal and keeping our water glasses full. If you’re looking for a spot for an amazing NYC Pizza with fantastic food and a welcoming ambiance, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Abby Rivera - 3 weeks ago

The pizza was very thin like almost crispy tortilla dough! the sauce was tasted like homemade not too strong which was good! We also loved the salad and mozzarella sticks. I would not say that this is the best pizza in nyc but def worth to go here!
Jina Yim - 2 months ago

Wow what can I say about this place that nobody else has! The service was incredible, from spot on recommendations, attentive (and meaningful) check ins, to even just being able to get me a great spot to eat (slight glitch on my part with reservation for two but I was only one). Those who complain about the pizza being like a cracker… that’s because it is, it’s super thin and crispy. I actually think the style is named such and that you can find recipes online. It is amazing! I nearly ate the entire pie myself, on top of the most delicious pasta I’ve ever had. Short rib… and wow, if it’s on the specials list - get it. Cheers and happy eating.

What is the best Italian spots in all of New York City! The service is always great, the food is absolutely always amazing. The drink menu has something to offer for everyone. The mixed drinks were great also. Do yourself a favor and make reservations…

Tried this place out based on a recommendation.. elote was delicious. The sandwiches were really good, and the garlic dip for tostones was sooooo good 🤤. Ended up ordering food to take for lunch the next day! The seating is a little tight, but atmosphere is cute. Outdoor dining gives you the most space.

Title: Café Habana: A Cozy Nolita Spot with Standout Grilled Corn Review: After a demanding workday, I recently dined at Café Habana, a quaint Cuban-Mexican eatery nestled in Nolita. From the exterior, the establishment appeared closed, but a quick peek through the windows revealed its doors were open. The interior is compact, exuding more of a bar or tavern ambiance than a traditional restaurant. This cozy setting contributes to its unique New York City charm. The service, while not particularly swift, was satisfactory; however, I noticed that staff didn't check in during the meal, a touch often appreciated in dining experiences. For my meal, I chose the grilled chicken cutlet plate accompanied by rice and black beans. The dish was enjoyable, aligning with standard offerings at similar Cuban establishments. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the grilled corn—a delightful combination of mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chili powder, and fresh lime—that lived up to its acclaim. It's no surprise that many patrons rave about this signature item. One aspect that stood out was the absence of dessert options, which was unexpected. Additionally, the music selection leaned towards hip-hop and other genres, differing from the Latin rhythms I had anticipated. While it didn't detract from the experience, it was a notable deviation from the traditional ambiance one might expect. In summary, Café Habana offers a cozy atmosphere with standout dishes like their renowned grilled corn. While some elements, such as music choice and dessert availability, differ from traditional expectations, it's a spot worth revisiting to explore more of their menu offerings.
Digital Hassan - 3 weeks ago

The food was very delicious, the margarita was one of the best. The corn was almost too good. The service was fine. The restaurant was very busy, which is great…and kind of loud. No deal breaker, but, because it was so busy, the server never came to check up on us once we received our food. Plus, we were sitting by the door, so people would bump into us. Also: Pet Peeve: the app only had 20%, 23% and 25% for tipping. Nothing over…nothing under. All the same, my kid and I look forward to returning…on a slower day. lol.

This place was OK. I will do my research first before coming to this restaurant. The name is a little deceiving as is not a fully Cuban restaurant. They don’t have many of the typical Cuban food cuisine, however, we were surprised to find the food was good not the most delicious but it wasn’t bad. It had a good flavor I will say that this restaurant is more of a Mexican cuisine than Cuban. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the corn on the cob was on point. We will definitely come back when we need a quick bite, but not when we need a full meal. The service was OK, but they seem to be overwhelmed by the amount of customers that the restaurant can handle we had to ask for napkins like three times also getting the attention of the servers was a difficult as they’re moving around a lot. The bathrooms are very tiny, the lighting is very dim, There is lots of posters and graffiti, but it goes with the neighborhood , I did not feel an AC running inside the restaurant so I am not sure if they run the AC during very hot days .Overall, not a bad place but again make sure you do you your research and check the menu before going in.

Wanted to come here for years but never did and finally my dad mentioned it while in town and we decided to go. The food was so so amazing, we both got the cubano with elote on the side. The price was part of my initial hesitation but as soon as I started eating I realized it was pretty worth it at $20 a person which isn’t so outrageous. The staff was super nice and friendly and the whole vibe was very fun. Definitely want to come back to try the breakfast at some point and will absolutely be back for the elote.

Great place, we were walking down the street and got caught with the view of the low windows into the restaurant, and we decided to book a table. We had good time, excellent food, they have also vegetarian option, we took the ravioli. Recommend on sea food if you're there, and we also tried one of the sushi rolls which was good as well. Would recommend if you are in the SoHo area and love seafood to try it out.

This photo was taken at our last visit, in July. My husband and daughter had dined here for lunch on a couple of occasions and this was our first time for dinner, all four of us. It’s nestled in one of my favorite parts of town, and there’s something about the busy-ness of the place when it’s packed. Everyone there seemed to enjoy themselves, great food, good drinks, great service! We celebrated our daughter’s birthday this day. She didn’t want us to tell anyone so we kept it mum, but after several visits we can say it’s a great place to eat. Love the atmosphere, too.

One of my favorites when in town! Fun place with a weekend feeling. Cocktails are delicious and the food is such a treat! It gets very loud so not for the sensitive ears!
Helene Lennartsson - 2 weeks ago

The restaurant’s interior is super cool, with round, boat-shaped windows that make you feel like you’re on a yacht. I had the pan-seared black bass with sweet potatoes, while my husband enjoyed the steamed red snapper with Bok choy. For our appetizer, we shared the Hamachi crudo. Although the portions were on the smaller side, each dish was perfectly prepared and delicious. The service was exceptional—attentive and thoughtful throughout our meal. We’re already looking forward to returning to try more of the menu!

Heard a lot of positive reviews about this place had to give it a try, especially for my daughter who has an elephant sized sweet tooth😉. This place does live up to the hype. It’s a very small shop, friendly service, no place to sit, however there is a standing bar table where you can stand and savor your cheese cakes. I tried the coconut and pineapple both were awesome. Will I go out of the way to try them - No ! I will give them a try if I am in the area and would like to have a bite size dessert.

I recently tried Eileen's Special Cheesecake and was blown away! The strawberry cheesecake was delightful, but the salted caramel cheesecake was absolutely incredible. The perfect balance of rich, creamy texture and sweet-salty flavor made it my favorite. Highly recommend giving it a try!
sıĕwHųï - 3 weeks ago

Eileen’s cheesecake is really special as the name of the store stays. You will enter in a tiny cute cheesecake store that will offer the best cheesecakes in New York. You will have the chance to taste more than one as they are mono portions. You will have the chance to take them with you, to eat them outside as there is a small table or directly inside the cute shop if there is some space. It is definitely worth a visit also for the kindness of its staff.
Cristina Senoner - a week ago

Yelp named this spot the #1 cheesecake in America, so I had to check it out! The staff was incredibly friendly, and they offer a great selection of flavors. However, there’s no seating or restrooms available, and while the prices are reasonable, the tart sizes are really small. If you prefer thick, dense cheesecake, you might prefer Junior's. But if you're into light, fluffy cheesecakes, this place will be perfect for you.
Kelly Lee - 4 months ago

Eileen’s is definitely legendary and has some of the best cheesecakes in the City. Many would argue that Eileen’s is flat-out the best. I don’t know, but I’ve been coming here for years trying to decide. Yup, that’s my excuse! Eileen’s is a tiny place, and is pretty much packed from opening until closing. The lines move very quickly, and no matter how packed the tiny space is, you’ll be in and out surprisingly fast. On this trip I got four; plain, pineapple, blueberry, and strawberry dipped in white chocolate. All were heavenly and I honestly can’t even tell you which one was the ‘best’, as they were all equally delicious. Lighter than say Junior’s, but the richness was undeniable. Eileen’s remains one of my go-to places for outstanding cheesecake. As long as they keep making them, I’m going to keep eating them. I promise you that if you go, you won’t be disappointed.

We ordered omelets and Dog’s breakfast. Everything was great and delicious. The portions were gigantic, really filling. Decorations and atmosphere were amazing. Also definitely recommend the hot chocolate.

Grey Dog is a fantastic spot! I loved the cozy decoration and the welcoming atmosphere. We came during the last 30 minutes of brunch, and the food was still excellent. The pancake and fried chicken were crispy and delicious, and the breakfast bowl with French toast is a must-try. Plus, they have a happy hour starting at 4 PM, making it an even better place to hang out. I’ll definitely be back!

Dont forget to reserve a table if plan to come on a weekend. Packed! But food is great, service is fast and attentive. Pancake and french toast is moist , yummy. Our latte is strong they have good selection of coffee.
VG - 5 months ago

Grey dog is where you go when you want something that tastes familiar but elevated. The grilled cheese dippers and tomato soup (with a side of bacon)are perfect on a chilly/rainy day. You can’t go wrong with the classic grey dog breakfast. The pancakes with banana are fluffy and the perfect amount of sweet. Their bacon is thick cut and crunchy which I love. It can get a bit busy but the longest i’ve ever had to wait for 2 was about 10 minutes. Overall, really good breakfast that just feels like a hug… cant go wrong 🥰
Veronica U - 2 months ago

The food is just alright. I ordered the grey dog breakfast with French toast and I liked the orange syrup that came with them, eggs were done great, but I can tell the potatoes were from a frozen bag. I did get an iced latte here and it tasted great. Out server was also very polite, but when the restaurant got busy for breakfast it was hard to wave them down for coffee refills for the table.

Small spot with a few tables in the back and a bar to sit at up front. We ordered the rigatoni Carbone and chicken parm, both were great portion sizes (we both had leftovers) we also ordered the “famous” garlic bread. Flavor was great, chicken wasn’t too thin or over breaded. Rigatoni was tasty without being too spicy. The garlic bread was our least favorite, $8 for 1 sesame hoagie cut in half and we honestly couldn’t taste any garlic.

I’m a fan and I love Carbones Spicy Rig, so when I saw this in Nolita I couldn’t wait to go in. It was crowded and that’s always a good sign. This location has a really relaxed cool vibe. Sat at the bar and had a fabulous lunch. Spicy Rigatoni was excellent and the salad was delicious it was crisp, fresh, with bites of fig.

Seriously good - so much so that we came back for round 2 after eating here on our first trip to NYC in 2022. Rigatoni with vodka sauce is a delicious vegetarian option, and the chicken parmigiano platter was tasty too. Great service, even though they were quite busy. Luckily we got in before the lunch rush! Small location (would be hard for anyone with mobility needs).

Came here for the rigatoni carbone, it was pretty good. We also enjoyed the fresh mozz with prosciutto. The arugula salad had fig in it, I loved it but my friend was not a big fan. The spaghetti and meatball was ok. We came here for dinner on a Saturday. The line was quite long, as expected. The guy worked at the door was good, attentive, and communicated well about the wait time. It was a small and busy place, but our waitress was patient and welcoming.

4.5 🌟 Came here after 11pm and probably had the best seat in the house; tucked in the back left a perfect table for two. Our server was friendly and helpful in suggestions. The bone marrow was a delicious and fatty starter, although it’s always a toss up with how much you’ll get. And the burger was great to split. Unfortunately they were already out of the apple strudel, but it sounded great.

First time and we came at 9 PM stayed until midnight. Great vibes and great ambiance. Cristhian was our waiter and he is PHENOMENAL. It was very busy and he took great care of us. New favorite spot in the city cannot wait to come back here.
Summer Sanders - 3 months ago

Giving this pace 4 starts because 1. when we went in the summer there was no AC, so it was a bit hot and 2. I thought my salad was extremely mediocre and was very watery on the bottom. We were there pretty early on a weeknight (around 6:30pm) and didn’t have to wait in line to get seated, but the spot looked pretty busy around 8pm. Overall, if you’re in the area and looking to grab something and people watch, this is a good spot, but I wouldn’t travel to eat here.
Martina Ruseva - 7 months ago

We merely stopped here for a refreshment on a very hot New York City day. Cafe Select had a nice menu but alas, we were still digesting our lunch. So a coke and a margarita were on the order. Sitting up at the bar, out of the heat, we caught up on our plans for the rest of the day. The decor is absolutely gorgeous, with eye catching posters and prints and bud lights sprinkled across the entire ceiling. Had to take a photo of the Rolex clock mounted from the roof with Jim’s Omega watch in the foreground. Rolex’s fame of keeping accurate time didn’t hold up well against the Omega. 😂😂😂 If you come to dine, there is seating outdoors on the pavement which is enticing. That along with the funky decor and great customer service, makes #cafeselect one to put on your list. #thewanderingreviewer#newyork2024 @cafeselectnyc #caféselect #cafeselectnyc #omegawatch
