Going to a wedding in NY in June.
Any recs for restaurants around union square area. Doesn’t have to be right there but not looking to trek further than maybe 15-20 min.
Cuisines in all price ranges appreciated, but we are looking for a fun dinner, an expensive dinner, and maybe a nice brunch spot and always welcome the hole in the wall/mom and pops for a quick bang bang
Nice dinners: Union Square Cafe, 15 East. Fun dinner (if loud is fun for you): Freehold in the Park. Decent brunch: Lillie’s Victorian. But note that in 20 minutes by foot, you could be 10+ blocks in any direction, so you’ve got an awful lot of options. Might want to narrow your parameters.
You might consider Gramercy Tavern, one of the great ones. If into BBQ, check out Hill Country…each in the vicinity.
2 places we like in that area are Casa Mono and ABC kitchen.
2 meat centric places on my list for next visit are Cote and Hawksmoor.
Has anyone been to rezdora? Any thoughts?
I enjoyed rezdora, excellent antipasti and good pasta. the cacio e pepe salad; burrata with truffles and mushrooms; gnocco fritto and gramigna giallo e verde, were highlights.
expensive dinners, atomix and yoshino.
fun dinner torien.
Yes, concur with @PorkyBelly. My favorite was the raviolo.
And this salad, which I think is ricotta?
Union Square Cafe still poaches fish in olive oil. Damn, that place has been in business 38 years.
torrisi for fun
Gabriel Kreuther for expensive
And has remained very solid, if not terribly exciting. My favorite visit there was a restaurant week late lunch at a table followed by happy hour at the bar. I’m not proud of this, but I’d do it again.
