probably the best Korean restaurant in manhattan.

C as in Charlie

Korean restaurant · NoHo

The Four Horsemen

Restaurant · Williamsburg

one of the best meals I’ve had in the past year - managed to make me like sweetbreads????

Lucali

Pizza restaurant · Carroll Gardens

probably the best pizza in NY if you're willing to wait - go at 3:30, wait in line until they start putting names down for seating (usually at 5pm) - plain cheese pizza is my personal favorite & their calzone also amazing - comes with a side of sauce so u can dip pizza crust into

L'Industrie Pizzeria

Pizza restaurant · Williamsburg

actual best slice in the city & AMAZING pistachio soft serve

Dhamaka

Indian restaurant · Lower East Side

goat. biryani.

Fish Cheeks

Thai restaurant · NoHo

amazing thai food - coconut crab curry is spicy but worth the pain

Yoon Haeundae Galbi

Korean barbecue restaurant · Midtown West

Kbbq spot on price par with cote but in my opinion much better than cote

Raku

Udon noodle restaurant · SoHo

homemade udon noodles - my personal favorite is their niku which has tripe and short rib

Awash Ethiopian Restaurant

Ethiopian restaurant · East Village

my go to ethiopian spot - great combo meals that are v affordable and SO delicious
