NYC 2022 dining journal

March 2022 (new). Sexy. Get the fried chicken and the hot sake

March 2022. Will always have a soft spot in my heart, but WHY is everything here so fucking salty now?

March 2022. Margs still as strong as I remembered, guac is solid

March 2022 (new). Best Korean fried chicken in NYC, also I love this vibe-less cafeteria

March 2022. Fried brussels sprouts always A1

March 2022 (new). They are NOT managing the hosting process well, but fun place to try some Jewish/Israeli classics. Heavy but delicious. Still need to try the famous bagels

March 2022 (new). Good, but Misi is better

March 2022 (new). Over-hyped in terms of the pasta, but good wine list and perfect maritozzi

March 2022 (new). Decent nachos! Albeit Bedford Ave is the hotspot for running into an ex if you've ever dated anyone in Bed-Stuy

March 2022. Want to hate it here because of the crowd, but there's no better French onion soup / croque madame / profiteroles

March 2022. There will always be someone annoying turning 21 here, but the saganaki and the octopus are worth it. And always get the cheesecake

Jan/Feb/March 2022. Yes, this is my favorite sushi experience in the city right now. Still need to come and do the tasting

Feb 2022 (new). The mixed reviews scared me, but everything was so, so good. Cocktails were out of this world. Service slow, but didn't matter

Feb 2022 (new). Fun!! Fried chicken and mochi butter cake were the best.

Feb 2022 (new). Wowowow. Worth planning ahead to get a res, loved everything and already need to go back. They also very effectively use rosewater here, which I rarely say

Feb 2022 (new). Kind of a weird vibe, like it wants to be a party. Really good hummus, skip the vegan moussaka

Feb 2022. Service is never great, but brunch menu is bomb. Japanese curry shakshuka is a must

Feb 2022. Decent food, amazing cocktails, always a party. Garden variety margarita until I die

Feb 2022 (new). Drinks didn't quite live up to the hype, but tacos here are very good

Feb 2022. Always hits the spot for Korean comfort food

Feb 2022 (new). Meh, didn't love it? Want to come back for drinks when it's more lively but didn't compare to my love Cervo's

Feb 2022. Happy CNY <3 cabbage is the sleeper hit

Feb 2022 (new). Really good cocktails and PDQ sliders, also sexy lighting

Feb 2022. Bean and cheese taco + salad + queso + chocolate cake + mezcal cocktails = perfection

Feb 2022. KBBQ all dressed up, Butcher's Feast is worth it and the cocktails here are killer

Jan 2022 (new). Lots of fun, and you definitely need the fried pizza. Want to come back in the summer with a big group

Jan 2022. Always forget how good this place is. Order every dip

Jan 2022 (new). Need all the Japanese bar snacks

Jan 2022. Soba and udon > ramen

Jan 2022 (new). Makes me miss Mexico City. Want to come back and do more mezcal tasting

Jan 2022 (new). So sceney, but tbh the food was actually pretty good, albeit overpriced. Vibes are on point though

Jan 2022. Last ate here pre-pandemic: still good! Cocktails are fun. Want to come with a bigger group during prime-time
