New York places to eat

Written on August 31, 2007 by Alisa

so now Klaus from Helsinki (www.fiaskodesign.com) is going to New York and we promised him some sug­ges­tions to keep him busy…

Again, first things first, places to eat, none of these places are overly pricey:

We have already men­tioned B & H dairy here on the blog but since it is our FAVORITE and every­one should go there I men­tion it again, the best french toast, fresh juice, old school, radio play­ing, tiny space, got to sup­port and say hello from us, although they have no idea who we are:

B & H Dairy
127 2nd Avenue
New York, NY 10003
tel: 1 212–505-8065
–east village–

For Ital­ian, although it can be a wait except at lunch which can be nice with a glass of wine, we really like good-olde:

Bar Pitti
268 Sixth Ave.
New York, NY 10014
tel: 1 212–982-3300
–west village–

For an Amer­i­can seafood expe­ri­ence, although more on the pricey side, always a wait and con­sis­tently good:

Pearl Oys­ter Bar
18 Cor­nelia Street

212.691.8211
Lunch Mon-Fri: 12pm — 2:30pm
Din­ner Mon-Sat: 6pm-11pm

Speak­ing of oys­ters, we don’t like the food except for the creamed spinach and oys­ters but it is a great place to duck into for 6 extrav­a­gant oys­ters and a wine, and then to be hun­gry the rest of the night because you blew your allowance on 6 oys­ters and a wine

Grand Cen­tral Oys­ter Bar
Grand Cen­tral Sta­tion
tel: 212.490.6650
–mid-town–

For break­fast, Egg in Williams­burg is the TOPS! I LOVE the bis­cuit with a scram­ble on it and roasted tomato plus their cof­fee rocks, yum, I am head­ing over there now…damn, get me a south­ern break­fast any day

Egg
135 N. 5th St.
Brook­lyn, NY 11211

For the per­fect Japan­ese meal, can we say any­thing more? OMEN… you can go cheap here with the “Omen” soup and some rice or all out with the sea­sonal menu, one of my favorite things it to go here late night on my own and have a small dish, a vodka soda with lemon and lis­ten to the grand­fa­ther clock tick­ing, very poetic, almost a pre­cur­sor to a sui­cide… but really, I have had some of my best meals there

Omen

tel: 212–925-8923

Pizza, this is it, hop in and grab it by the slice at the bar, hot out of the oven, amazing

L’Asso

New York, NY 10012
tel: 212–219-2353

For the other pre­fect Japan­ese meal, some soba, my favorite is the eel tem­pura with hot soba, super duper get me some
