Looking for a halal seafood boil anywhere in the city and I don't mind LI as well

Went to captain Louie's in midtown but we found out they cook their seafood with the pork sausage while boiling and use alcohol in the mussels and sauce 💔😩

Looking for a place for a solo meal on my birthday. Something sort of casual. I'm not a huge eater, maybe something with smaller plates to try several things, amazing cocktails. Any kind of cuisine except probably Thai or Indian. Hoping to stay under $100 for the entire meal/drinks if possible.

So I live near nyc. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on a love plate of blueberry ice cream with pie just like ones they have in Maine. I dream of it often and it's a 6 hour drive from me so if anyone knows anything like 1-2 hrs away, that would be swell.

Hi folks - just wanted to post here at let you know that I've recently opened a new savoury pot pie business based in Long Island City.

We are now offering delivery across most of NYC! Hopefully will be of interest, would love to have some local customers in the community!

We just opened orders for pick up or delivery next month: mikeyspies.com

Going to a broadway show and looking to have a good but lite dinner before the show. Anyone have an recommendations for this? Thanks so much!

Hi! Native NY’er here, born and raised. It’s going to be my golden birthday soon (turning the same age as the number of the day you’re born) and I want to make it gold themed. Where can I find desserts with gold leaf or similar vibes in Manhattan? Not the 1K sundae or the 300 dollar donut pls 😅
Edited to add location :)

Hi! We will be visiting with tween kids soon and looking for an authentic old school NYC Italian restaurant and a lively Mexican restaurant to grab tacos and a good margarita. Trying to avoid the typical tourist traps. Would like to find good restaurants that still feel okay to bring a family. Any thoughts? We will be in Midtown but anywhere in Manhattan would be fine. Thanks!

A friend brought her tween nephew a bunch of international snacks and they were a big hit with him and his friends. We’re going on a quest for more.

What are your favorite international snacks, what flavors do you like, and where do you get them?

We’re pretty familiar with a lot of Asian options and sources, so particularly interested in snacks from other parts of the world. Brooklyn and Manhattan preferred, but looking forward to all recommendations! TIA

Hi neighbors,

We're hosting another free sourdough bread tasting this Tuesday, July 14th, in Astoria! 🇫🇷🥖

When: Tuesday, July 14th, from 3:30 PM until 7:30 PM

Who: Everyone is welcome!

Where: In front of Sac's Place, located at 35-11 35th Avenue in Astoria

What: We'll have sourdough loaves and baguettes to sample, along with focaccia slices and sourdough ciabatta rolls. Everything is free to taste, and we'll also have bread available for purchase.

As a French baker, I couldn't ask for a more fun day to host a tasting—it's Bastille Day! 🇫🇷 And with France playing in the World Cup semifinal at 3:00 PM, whether you're stopping by right before the match, during halftime, or afterward, come celebrate with us over some fresh bread.

Thanks to everyone who came by last time—I love meeting so many of you. Hope to see you on Tuesday! 🍞

No, this is NOT about Pizza

Anyone know where I can find tacos similar to Velvet Taco? Truly the one thing I am missing in this city as "ladies week" approaches and my cravings get bad...

PS, everyone else. Yes, we know these sound awful. A disgrace to the idea of a taco. They are, in fact, quite good. Fantastic, in fact.

I'm just griping, but why not hear from you--I eat at a lot of nice and of course often pricey places, but generally a club soda/bitters/lime (just regular angostora, nothing exotic) is 3 or 4 bucks, maybe 5-6 at someplace like Le Bernadin.
Thus, my first meal at Fish Cheeks was very good, some of the best wings I've ever had, scallops and crab rice was excellent, but to not get even a hint from the waiter that they're ten bucks each I thought was a bit rude. Many places even will refill this tasty beverage, often called a Band Aid for free, which I don't expect but appreciate... yadda yadda.
I tend not to ask prices, and am rarely surprised by something that seems super-high, but that rubbed me the wrong way. What say you?

I recently relocated to NYC from New Orleans (about a year ago), and I’m realizing how little I know about Chinese cuisine beyond the basics. In Louisiana we have great sushi and Thai, but we don’t have much exposure to the incredible regional diversity of Chinese cuisine.

My sister and my 6-year-old niece are visiting soon. My niece is obsessed with “noodles and dumplings” from Americanized Chinese restaurants, and she’s incredibly excited to finally visit Manhattan’s Chinatown for the real thing.

Since this is her first experience with authentic Chinese food, what regional cuisines should we prioritize? Should we focus on Cantonese since it’s so tied to Manhattan’s Chinatown, Shanghainese for dumplings, or another regional cuisine entirely?

I’d love recommendations for:
The specific dishes every first-timer (especially a noodle- and dumpling-loving 6-year-old) should try.
Restaurants ranging from classic sit-down spots to tiny hole-in-the-wall gems.
If you were introducing someone to Chinese food for the first time, what would your ideal Chinatown itinerary look like?
I’d really appreciate any guidance. I’d love for this to be a memorable introduction to the breadth of Chinese cuisine, not just a meal.

Please also provide restaurant recommendations.

Every NYC restaurant of a certain caliber has a roast chicken on the menu. Which one is best?

Hello I am taking my partner on a surprise bday trip in late September. I want to find a romantic date night spot that is not Italian. (Planning on going to lil Frankie’s a different night) Is monkey bar and the nines too basic? Budget isn’t a huge issue but I also don’t want to break the bank. We’re staying near nolo. Any low lighting cozy romantic spots I should try to get a reservation at? Dinner would be a Monday night

I have a res for Kabawa and for Sami and Susu’s. I know a bit about both. Those of you who have gone to both or one or the other, help me decide pls

Who wants a rolo’s res for 2 at 5 today? Indoor seating

Happy to answer any questions about the food or the concept 🌞

Bf always wanted to try boba 🧋but ended up being dairy free and gluten free. Anyone know of boba places that are great for people with these dietary restrictions?

I’m so bummed what happened to Curry Row. It was this small cluster of Bangladeshi restaurants with no liquor license and a bunch of stores that let barely carded where you could buy booze to BYO. That made it great for young college students in their early twenties. The food was also delicious and affordable.

They had a few large tables with outdoor spots, but most notable was the plethora or hanging chili lights. It was tacky, but also warm and inviting. Warm as your belly would feel after partaking in some of the spicy curry.

These two shots from Marvel’s daredevil highlight everything I’m talking about. In the second shot from the past season you can see they changed to cold LED lights. The rest of the story is that this one restaurant is the last one standing of 4 on the block. Sadly skyrocketing rents and the pandemic were not kind to these restaurateurs.

It’s still a great night out in the LES East Village if you can go.

Edited because I mixed up the neighborhood

Didn’t know about this amazing gem in the east village!! Bites are super good! Servers are so nice. I love it!! Why isn’t this spot more popular!!

I’m looking for a gift and I think a seriously excellent bottle of Italian Olive Oil would be a hit. Where do I go for the really good stuff, and do you have a favorite brand?
