One of the hardest reservations in all of the city, Lilia is one of those places where if you get the chance to go… you go. Want to check out Misi (Lilia’s sister restaurant) now to compare. Word on the street is everyone who has been to both has a CLEAR favorite… but that favorite isn’t consistent between everyone. Power ranking of dishes:
1. Focaccia 2. Sheep’s Milk Cheese Angolotti 3. Ribeye 4. Olive Oil Cake 5. Soft Serve 6. Mafaldini Send this to someone you want to go here with📤

They should honestly trademark that Cookie Dough Roll. That thing makes it worthy of you checking out Mamanoko by itself. You can run the bill up easily here, but that’s one you just can’t skip out on. Power ranking of dishes:
1. Cookie Dough Roll 2. Umami Sliders 3. Dojo Roll 4. Toro Cakes 5. Citrus Roll Share this with someone who could eat that whole cookie dough roll by themselves🫄

If you want the biggest pot of biryani you’ve ever seen, you’ve come to the right place. From Unapologetic Foods - the same restaurant group that did the Michelin-starred Semma, you know you’re in for some good grub. If you’re in Manhattan’s Lower East Side craving Indian food, this is your spot! Send this to your squad you want to share the biryani with

THE BEST smashburger in the city and I don’t want to hear any arguments. Vibes off the chain at this place & all of the other dishes hit too. Also, haven’t done it yet, but they have a 7 COURSE tasting menu for $49‼️ Power ranking of dishes:
1. Legendary Cheeseburger 2. Whipped Ricotta Toast 3. ‘Chopped Cheese’ Rice Cakes 4. Nowon Fried Chicken Send this to someone you want to come here with🇰🇷

THE BEST bagel in the city… and it’s now in West Village too. 73 Greenwich Ave open Thursday through Sunday🥯 Sourdough, open-faced bagels. It’s not a traditional NYC bagel, but if you can set aside your pride for 10 minutes it will absolutely blow you away. Send this to someone you want to try Apollo Bagels with📩

I’ve never done a full kitchen AND wine cellar tour at such a popular, upscale restaurant. This alone made Bern’s standout against other steakhouses I’ve been to. DO NOT miss on the dessert room either. And definitely get the macadamia nut sundae. Make sure to ask your server about the tour & dessert room at the beginning of your meal! Power ranking of dishes:
1. NY Strip Steak 2. Macadamia Nut Sundae 3. Loaded Baked Potato 4. French Onion Soup 5. Caesar Salad Send this to someone you want to do the tour with🍽️t

Ok this place is an absolute GEM in Chinatown. The best Greek restaurant in the city🤷 Absolute hole-in-the-wall. No reservations, no signs outside, and a pretty cheap menu too. Power ranking of dishes:
1. Saganaki 2. Greek Yogurt 3. Lamb Chops 4. Pastichio 5. Grilled Octopus Share this with someone you want to go here with if you’re real

The best breakfast sandwich in New York City? Yeah… it is. Best coffee in the city too? I mean, it’s definitely up there. Oh and the pastries & baked goods will put up a 12 round fight with any bakery you’ve been to. It’s called “Coffee & Breakfast” for a reason.

It’s a hole-in-the-wall located on 7th & B in the East Village. The staff are the nicest people you’ll ever meet, the vibes inside are incredible (they have a vinyl wall and rip incredible tunes all day long), and of course we’ve already addressed how good the food actually is.

I’m here at the very least once a week and the fact that you’re not is laughable. You better change that… like NOW. Share this with a friend to put them on🤝

Ok, yes… this IS a seafood restaurant. And the best in Atlanta, at that. BUT - the yeast rolls are the real star of the show. I could’ve eaten 10 by myself and it’s worth going here just for that. Send this to a bread addict to put them on🍞
