Cuerno - Review - Midtown - New York - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Bryan Kim

A hospitality group with 50 restaurants across Mexico and Spain is bringing a Northern Mexico-inspired steakhouse to Rockefeller Center. The bi-level dining room will channel a hacienda with hand-carved woodwork and custom leather banquettes, and the menu features grilled octopus, skirt steak tacos with roasted bone marrow, and a range of steaks cooked on a charcoal grill. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Chez Nous - Review - Greenwich Village - New York - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Bryan Kim

Margaux, formerly on the ground floor of the Marlton Hotel in Greenwich Village, is now all-day brasserie Chez Nous, serving leeks pavé, a niçoise salad, steak au poivre, and more. The redesigned room features mirror-lined walls, a glossy coffered ceiling, and crimson velvet furniture that should be able mask any red wine spills. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Where To Drink A Spritz On The Sidewalk In NYC

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore |Molly Fitzpatrick |Will Hartman |Bryan Kim

Bar Bianchi makes a good spritz, especially the crisp, not-too-sweet Giuseppe with elderflower. But more importantly, the sceney East Village spot is a good setting for a spritz: a corner of Avenue A and Houston transformed into something resembling a 1960s Italian piazza by the Le Dive team. Every spritz is available “regulare” or in “grande” fishbowl-sized glasses, which are great props for the three photo shoots happening on the sidewalk patio.
The 18 Best Restaurants In Fort Greene

Sailor’s striped awning and paintings of seafaring vessels will put you in the mood to eat something that used to live in salt water. This nautical-themed bistro from the folks behind Joseph Leonard and the former Breslin chef serves a lot of seafood, like skate cheek and peas in parsley sauce. The white tablecloths and flickering lamps make the space feel fancier than your average neighborhood spot, but lots of dishes hover around $20 or less. Use any surplus funds on wine and profiteroles.

The Most Affordable NYC Tasting Menus

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Bryan Kim |Willa Moore |Will Hartman |Molly Fitzpatrick

The only Korean-inspired tasting menus we’d recommend over Jua’s cost roughly twice as much. At $140, this place isn’t cheap, but it punches above its weight. In a spacious Flatiron dining room with concrete floors, you’ll kick things off with a bite of crisp seaweed cradling rice, caviar, and tuna tartare. After that, who knows. The menu changes, but expect things like a luscious prawn tartare and a small slab of galbi with a wreath of bite-size banchan.

Joe Jonas's Favorite Neighborhood Hangs

“Bar Oliver is a really cool, lowkey spot, with beer and wine and good Spanish tapas. The same people do Casino and Casetta as well—all their food is really good. It’s in such a cute little corner, and they've got great outdoor seating for when the sun finally doesn't play games with us and stays around. I get an Estrella Galicia beer and the tortilla española. Their mushrooms were really good the last time I went. And of course, the croqueta.
The Best Dishes Infatuation NYC Reviewers Ate In May

One of two dishes exclusive to the new Williamsburg location of Fish Cheeks. The plate of three crabs, each cleaved in half, comes with gloves—it might as well come with a fire extinguisher too. Though hot, the spices are perfectly dialed: the crabmeat tastes as clean and fresh as snow that someone just happened to sprinkle with fish sauce, lime and chili. A lot of people are talking about the exceptional bánh mì at Bánh Anh Em, including us.
22 Great LGBTQ+ Bars In NYC

Stonewall Inn feels historic right when you walk in. That’s due, in part, to the fact Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera resisted a police raid here, effectively launching the gay rights movement in 1969. But also because they probably haven’t renovated in several decades. There’s a long, divey bar on the ground floor, and upstairs you’ll find a small stage for drag shows.
