Breadivore - Review - Park Slope - New York - The Infatuation

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

As advertised, Breadivore smells strongly and sweetly of bread products the moment you step inside. The South Slope bakery is a small but mighty operation, with a bell at the cash register, which you can ring if the people who own this place are busy in the back. Every bakery needs an internet ambassador, and Breadivore’s is the egg cup. It’s a laminated pastry—inspired equally by egg tarts and alt-croissants—that’s filled with a smooth mix of ricotta, yolk, funky garlic chive and parmesan.
Un Posto Italiano

1 week ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

If you live in Park Slope and haven’t heard of Un Posto Italiano before, it’s probably because your neighbor is trying to keep it a secret. The Italian cafe and grocery store has a no-laptop policy Friday through Sunday, and the seating area in the back—and the backyard if it’s nice out—is always full of Park Slope parents splitting intricately layered sfogliatelle and drinking beautiful Italian espresso. As far as the menu goes, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
13 Quiet NYC Restaurants Where You Can Actually Have A Conversation

At this Midtown East restaurant, expect your server to explain each dish and the nutritional value of various mushrooms in an ASMR-inducing near-whisper. Bodai seats no more than 12 guests at a time for a $99 vegetarian tasting menu inspired by imperial Chinese cuisine. The loudest noise in the dining room is the gentle burbling of the water feature in the corner zen garden.
The Best Things Infatuation NYC Writers Ate In March

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

There are a lot of great things to eat at this Woodside Filipino institution—like the shatteringly crisp lumpia—but no dish is quite as spectacular as the grilled tuna jaw, which looks like a fossil unearthed from the deepest layer of the ocean floor. It's smoky, wonderfully fatty and fishy, and an absolute pleasure to attack with a crowd. During a recent meal at classic Midwood establishment Taci’s Beyti, a young diner stood up (at the prompting of her mother) and played the violin for everyone.
Two cuisines share a roof and a kitchen at VPho & Pizzeria - Review - New York - The Infatuation

4 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

VPho & Pizzeria serves two entirely distinct menus—one Italian, and one Vietnamese—in a pizza parlor covered in laminated photographs of banh mi and summer rolls. To understand how it exists, you first need to know about Sorrento’s. The Morris Park pizzeria opened in 1973, and for 50 years it was a local favorite for their Sicilian slices. When the owner decided it was time to retire, his neighbor Michael took over the space. For a year, it was business as usual.
Where To Get A No-Fuss Burger

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

P.J. Clarke’s burgers were the most recommended by readers for this guide, and their cheeseburger is a definite best in class. The inch-thick patty is griddled perfectly to spec, with seasoning that stays out of the way, so you mostly taste juicy meat, melded with a square of american cheese. The bun—“scented” with rings of raw onion—is a basic-but-soft Arnold roll that sogs up on the bottom without falling apart.
25 Iconic Dishes That Define NYC

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

Katz’s is touristy, but it is not just for tourists. The famous Jewish deli is, first and foremost, for New Yorkers who need a mountain of the finest pastrami. Warm, thick, salty, and smoky, the pastrami pulls apart like a fresh croissant and leaves grease on anything it touches. The rye used for sandwiches could be a little more moist. But we promise you won’t be paying attention to the bread.
The Oldest Restaurants & Bars In NYC

Alexander Hamilton dined here. Now, there’s wifi. This sprawling Financial District restaurant is NYC’s oldest standing structure, and it was pouring pints of ale to the first US president. George Washington supposedly favored Fraunces Tavern’s chicken pot pie. We’d have to agree with him on that.
No longer a landmark, Grimaldi's did put Dumbo on the pizza map - Review - New York - The Infatuation

1 month ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

Grimaldi’s originally opened in Dumbo in 1990, but since then it’s been sold, franchised, and relocated to a bank building a few storefronts down from the original. Now, it's a chain restaurant with over 40 locations nationwide, and even in that beautiful bank building, the merch for sale up front and the calories displayed on the menu make this place feel a little corporate. The pizza, too, just never seems to quite achieve that signature char that drew Lucali-rivaling lines when it opened.
Ignazio's - Review - DUMBO - New York - The Infatuation

1 month ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

Dumbo has an impressive number of pizzerias, but Ignazio’s is the only one with a water view. In a neighborhood named for its location under two bridges, that's got to mean something. The cash-only spot isn't talked about as much as Juliana’s or Grimaldi’s up the block, but it's a good option if there's a line at one of those, or if you're just looking for a slice to take on a walk through Brooklyn Bridge Park.
