A favorite spot for many and for good reason. The food is thoughtfully prepared and served. New takes on traditional ingredients. I especially appreciate the falafel encrusted artichoke appetizer. We ordered the Greek paella, perfectly portioned and prepared for two. The atmosphere is eclectic and relaxed, church pew seating, well rubbed bronze accents, Mediterranean tiling with weathered wood all combine for a delightful dinner. I’m never disappointed when I visit, and the staff are all wonderful.

An excellent pub in Brooklyn Heights. The bartender and entire staff are on point, swift and smart. The food is good pub fare, I had the fried chicken sandwich, and while a bit dry, it hit the spot. I’ll be back as often as I can for this staple in NYC pubs. Nachos are great!

Clearly a bar for Minnesota transplants. And it seems like all the games featuring Minnesota teams are displayed on their two or three TVs behind the bar. Beers are 8 bucks or more. They do can and shot specials for the same price. No food, so I bought a couple of slices from up the way and drank a beer. The bartender I had was fast and on it.

After seeing a live amplified performances at another historic venue, my appreciation for Carnegie Hall has been renewed. Comfortable seating, well lit and attentive staff make this NYC landmark live up to its reputation. Always worth a visit.

An excellent authentic dining experience with conscientious staff and an awesome atmosphere, or vibe as it’s now called. I had the Cochinita pibil or “Yucatán special” which is a delightful marinated pork, you won’t be disappointed, be brave when ordering.
