I love this neighborhood cafe because it's intimate and has the best of everything: coffee and espresso, pastries, gelato, plus small dishes and a great wine selection.

The best brick-oven pizza and it's right around the corner. They only take cash, but it's worth it. Try the Pizza Giulieta (roasted pumpkin and pancetta) and the classic Margherita.

Okay, I don't frequent this place but just about everyone else does! Revved up macaroni and cheese (spinach and feta, for example) served in hot, cheese bubbling iron skillets.

One of my favorite spots - perfect for a special night out. Upscale but affordable, authentic Greek cuisine. Decor is chic but relaxed; it makes one feel beautiful. Reservation recommended.

Wonderful food; updated Sicilian cooking remains faithful to the original. It's so authentically East Village, the Coen Brothers used it as a location for their new movie, Inside Llewyn Davis.

Enchanting French bistro with a good wine list and home made charcuterie. (Scallops in raisin sauce is a personal favorite.) Garden seating in warm weather.
