Taqueria By El Prieto

6 days ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

Any time a taqueria from Southern California opens in New York, it immediately garners a lot of attention—such is the case with Taqueria By El Prieto, a counter service spot (with a bit of seating) that hails from the San Diego area. It turns out the social media hype this place received initially isn't so warranted, but if you’re in the area and the line at nearby Los Tacos No. 1 is too long, you could do far worse than grabbing lunch here—especially if you work in the area.
DubuHaus - Review - Koreatown - New York - The Infatuation

6 days ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

Howoo, a new KBBQ spot in Koreatown, is entirely focused on beef—DubuHaus from the same team and in the same building locks in on tofu. The tofu is made in-house from Korean soybeans, and served in dishes like dubu jorim, in bossam with braised pork, and mushroom perilla seed soondubu. Non-tofu items on the menu include perilla oil buckwheat noodles and beef yukhoe. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

In the former Greenpoint Beer & Ale space (the one with the pretty stained-glass watertower on the roof), Scrappleland is a pinball bar with tons of vintage cabinets. According to Pinballmap.com, they’ve got 30 different games, as well as a full bar. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.

Madras Dosa Co., a fast casual Indian chain from Boston, has a second NYC location in Chelsea (the first is in Times Square). They’ve got both meat and vegetarian fillings for their dosas, and some other things like idlis and pulaos. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Unveiled - Review - Williamsburg - New York - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

Underneath Little Fino is Unveiled, a night club. It opened a few months ago, and comes from the same team as Manhattan spot Virgo. They seem to have relaxed their highly selective door policy, with reservations now available online. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Jost Jollof - Review - Midtown East - New York - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

Parked right outside of the Consulate General of Nigeria in Midtown East, Jost Jollof is a food truck from the DF Nigerian truck team. They’ve got both meat and vegan options, in things like fufu egusi soup, meat pies, and of course, boxes centered around jollof rice. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Skinny Louie NYC

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

New York restaurants move down to Miami all the time. So much so that our Sunshine State colleagues wrote a whole guide about it. Sometimes, the reverse happens, like with Pura Vida and now Skinny Louie, a smashburger spot that has their first NYC location in Nomad. Single burgers start at $7.49. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Xisan De Classic - Review - Brooklyn Heights - New York - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

Xisan De Classic is a Thai spot in Brooklyn Heights that focuses on Northeastern Isan cooking. They’ve got all the classics—ping yang skewers, som tum salads, and crying tiger. They’re also selling two boxes—one with crying tiger, and one with fried chicken—served with sticky rice and som tum for $25. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Son Del North West Village

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

In the West Village, Son Del North has a second location for their housemade flour tortillas. They’re slinging burritos stuffed with things like carne asada and eggs and rajas in a slightly larger space with a few tables. As always, they’re making a point that they don’t put rice in their burritos. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
Go Go Sing - Review - Flatiron - New York - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Will Hartman

Go Go Sing is a new karaoke bar inside Coqodaq, the clubby Korean fried chicken spot from the Cote team. It’s more of a karaoke performance space, with a communal stage, as opposed to individual rooms. The space has a shorter version of Coqodaq’s food menu, with access to the whole bar menu, and reservations can be made for 90 minute slots. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists.
