Stopped by this very traditional deli when I was around doing errands. The place is a little stuffy and old, but that is also what gives it its charm. The turkey sandwich is definitely great.

Convivium Osteria is definitely great. You are transported to an italian antique house upon entering the restaurant. The service was a little confusing at times, but very professional and courteous. The highilights of my meal were definitely the sweet ravioli with peking duck ragu and the rabbit with polenta. Both dishes are so unique and well done. Two of my favorite italian dishes in NYC so far. Would definitely recommend.

Fradei is impressive. The food was incredible, with unexpected yet delicious flavors, like in the wagyu beef tartare with sesame seeds. Please go try their food. The ambient is a little cramped and not much effort was put into the decor, which is fine. We had to wait for 30 minutes for our reserved tables, but service flowed wonderfully once we were sat down.

Ulivo is a beautiful restaurant. Went to lunch on a weekend and it was pretty empty, which I loved. The fried octopus was the highlight of my meal, the gnocci was also very tasty, but I didn’t care for the dessert that much. Worth to go on a date!

Went to Momofuku Ssäm Bar for a friend’s birthday, and it was worth it. Very nice ambient in the restaurant’s dining room, where we had the tasting menu. The service was excellent, and we had the sake pairing with the dinner, which was a nice addition. The food was very good. The initial dishes were excellent, though the mixed greens and the fluke ceviche did not wow me. The meat portion of the meal was heavenly. They were prime beef and pork cuts, and it showed. The dessert sorbet was very light and refreshing. Would recommend for a special occasion.
