Probably the most underrated place in the midtown renaissance, but maybe one of the most special? It was redone a little while back by the same people who do 4 Charles, and while it's not the exact same burger, the food and the vibe are really special. It also, as of right now, is not overrun by TikTokers, so that's a plus too.

It's small, so the tables can be tricky to get, but it's really worth it and have never had a not delicious meal here.

It's rich, but it's also really delightful and great. Here are the things I like to order (* for the things I think you have to get): beguni (eggplant), ajwani paneer tikka* (fried cheese), sigdiwala (whole little chicken), tabak maaz (lamb ribs), champaran* (mutton), paneer methi, goat neck biryani*, dal* and roti....

In the last few weeks, whenever someone's asked me where they should go for "a nice dinner," I've said Le Rock every single time. You're definitely paying a little more, but I think you feel it in the quality of the food (not just the room or the vibes). I think you have to get the bison au poivre, the leeks, everything on the raw bar, and also weirdly the sausages on the raw bar are really delicious.

A set menu, but has honestly been one of my favorite meals in a long time and doesn't feel stuffy at all. Please go there.

The easy place to get good Thai food.

Underrated by some, overrated by others, but great vibe and foods.
