The “It” Bars Across America Right Now

2 days ago | theinfatuation.com | Allie Conti |Willa Moore |Garrett Snyder |Nicolai McCrary

In NYC, novelty and exclusivity constitute cool. And one of the city’s current hottest bars is a tiny, quasi-secret spot that’s only going to stick around through the end of summer. To get inside Los Salvajes, you have to be a “friend” of the bar, but in our experience, the term is used loosely.
The Best Dishes Infatuation NYC Reviewers Ate In May

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

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.
Mr. P’s Homemade Ice Cream

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

On a hot day, you might find a little line outside Mr. P’s, a Caribbean ice cream shop with a loyal following of soursop enthusiasts. Open since 2022, the Flatbush store is run by a father (Mr. P) and his son, and their sweet-and-tangy soursop ice cream is our favorite too. But every guest gets three free samples, and you should use them all. That way, you can also try beets and ginger, coconut, or a vegan avocado, which tastes like the real thing, with just a light sweetness.
The Most Fun Sushi Spots In NYC

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore |Will Hartman |Allie Conti |Molly Fitzpatrick

Situated on top of a jazz club, this sushi speakeasy in the East Village is like a house party, in a house that also happens to have a standout $80 omakase. In one corner of the room, chefs at the four-seat counter serve buttery yuzu scallops and shiso sea bream with obvious swagger. Other guests eat sushi a la carte, sitting at high tops or on couches. But the most fun touch? A DJ that helps transition the evening from eating fancy fish to drinking many, many after-dinner cocktails.
Kikoo Upper West Side

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

You technically don’t have to do all-you-can-eat sushi at Kikoo. But that’s what most people come here for, and the $45 AYCE ($50 with all-you-can-drink) is really the best use of this Upper West Side restaurant. The fish shouldn't be studied under a microscope. It should be topped with too much eel sauce or spicy mayo, and washed down with a sake bomb. Rinse, repeat, and don’t think too hard about it, and you’ll have a fun evening.
Josh Duboff’s Favorite NYC Neighborhood Haunts

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Brennan Carley |Molly Fitzpatrick |Chris Stang |Willa Moore

“This is the classic, and it’s definitely been my number one for years now. I will never forget the first time I entered The Odeon in my early twenties and an older relative whispered that Definitely, Maybe had been filmed there—one of those New York memories that gets seared into your brain. Recently, I’ve been fixated on the cucumber martini and caesar salad with chicken paillard, but you cannot go wrong with this menu.
The Spots Of The Summer, NYC Edition - New York - The Infatuation

2 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Molly Fitzpatrick |Willa Moore |Will Hartman |Sonal Shah

If, on a nice summer Saturday, you’re wondering where all the Citi Bikes have gone, they’re probably just clogging up the stations in Red Hook. At the center of the action is Strong Rope Brewery, where people sip flights of beer on a waterfront patio in the presence of Lady Liberty. There’s usually a food truck or two parked out front, but you can also bring your own snacks.
Red Coffee Stand

3 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

Red Coffee Stand is predictably all red and wedged beneath the stairs of an otherwise very gray building on Front Street. You won’t see it from the street, but you will see a small sign that says, “Red Coffee Stand” in masking tape. Less predictably, they also sell soup. Though that detail starts to make more sense when you consider that this is a collaboration between Hot Soup and Ants Coffee.
Fontainhas - Review - DUMBO - New York - The Infatuation

3 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

Dumbo has a lot of crowded coffee shops serving mediocre lattes for around $8.50, but Fontainhas is different. The all-day Goan cafe on a quiet stretch of Jay Street is generally sunny and full of people who live nearby. Sometimes a few well-informed tourists find it too, and drink a bottle of wine in the middle of the day because they can.
Butterfield Market

3 weeks ago | theinfatuation.com | Willa Moore

People like to compare this Upper East Side market to LA’s Erewhon, and we sort of get it. It feels a little more like a quaint, family-run gourmet market than the Hailey Bieber smoothie seller does, but NYC’s ginger juice enthusiasts need somewhere to go, and Butterfield, with two locations in the area, has become upper Manhattan’s top choice.
