The 27 Best Restaurants In The East Village - New York - The Infatuation
"On a quiet stretch of East 9th Street, in a semi-subterranean spot that resembles a sexy submarine lies Smithereens, one of the most exciting places to eat seafood in the neighborhood (and the city). It’s a New England-inspired restaurant, and true to theme, you’ll find a lobster roll, a cocktail called the Ben Affleck, and Narragansett lagers for $5. But it’s also from a Claud alum, which means that the lobster meat is so gently poached it’s almost rare, and the Ben Affleck cocktail might turn you into a pumpkin spice latte devotee. Start with a seawater martini, order the beans, and try the candied seaweed for dessert." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
