15 Great NYC Neighborhood Restaurants - New York - The Infatuation

"You know that feeling when you’re introducing your new boyfriend/girlfriend to your family or your coworkers or your cat? You’re really into this person, and a small part of you is terrified that whoever you’re introducing them to won’t be that impressed. That’s how we felt the first time we started taking people to Lighthouse - we knew we had found an incredible under-the-radar spot, and we weren’t ready to deal with anyone who disagreed. Luckily, that’s yet to happen. Lighthouse is the neighborhood restaurant that’s cooking the kind of interesting yet super-satisfying food that’s way beyond anything you’d expect from a regular neighborhood restaurant." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
