"The healthy dishes here would be right at home in LA, on a similar wavelength as famous cafe Sqirl: colorful, flavorful, and prone to copious Instagramming. Critically acclaimed executive chef Gerardo Gonzalez left in 2016 but El Rey still serves relatively virtuous, attractive food, mostly in toast and bowl forms. There’s an annex location tucked inside menswear store Todd Snyder on the northern edge of Madison Square Park." - Alexandra Ilyashov
