Looking for a place to eat or have coffee, come here!!!…read more It is a hidden gem in the Upper East Side. If you are just meeting for coffee and dessert or dinner after the museum this is the spot. It is a small yet cozy place where the food is fresh and though it's a small stuff, they are extremely efficient. I had a cappuccino as well as a very delicious cherry soup. I also had their cappuccino and their different type of strudels, including cabbage and poppyseed. Service is good and hard working I strongly recommend you to come here.

He was not dissapointed. The rest of us got a burger, Hungarian sausage, a panini, and steak. Our waitress was very pleasant and I was impressed with her creepy contacts lol. We'd told her it was Alex's birthday, and were surprised to see his birthday dessert come out on fire - with 2 donut people impaled by sticks and oozing strawberry jam. It was very cool. I got an espresso creme brulee and my parents shared pistachio cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Not to mention the vibe in the restaurant was very relaxed while slightly eerie. The decorations were very appropriate for Transilvania. Its a little bit of a drive for us, but I'm looking forward to going back soon

Schnitzels Stony Brook, NY…read more@eatschnitzels Schnitzels is a German-American gastropub known for its awesome variety's of schnitzel, German beer, and pub fare. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and serving up amazing meals at each. Choose from 5 different gravies and then your schnitzel. Traditionally served with pork or veal, but they do have chicken or eggplant as well! I went with the classic Weinershnitzel which is traditionally served with veal schnitzel and served with brown gravy. Lindsey got the Chicken Rahmschnitzel which is schnitzel topped with a creamy white reisling-infused mushroom gravy. Both were filled with flavor and we were very impressed! All schnitzel is served with spätzle, seasonal vegetables, and red cabbage. This was the definition of a comfort meal that. We started with their Bavarian Cheese Board, and classic German appetizers - potatoes pancakes paired with this insane apple butter, and potato dumplings with your choice of gravy. We loved the vibe in there. Great pub style feel but also nice indoor and outdoor eating. Our server Eden was amazing and such a great help! We truly loved this place and we can wait to go back!

The counters are packed, the shelves are stacked with imports you haven't seen since childhood, and everyone behind the counter treats you like you've been coming here for decades. The kolbasz that tastes like home The star is the kolbasz. Deep color, real smoke, that sweet‑warm paprika profile that hits you right in the memory. It's the kind of sausage that doesn't just taste good, it tastes correct. The gyulai, the cserkesz, the hams, the salamis, all of it carries that old world confidence. Nothing rushed. Nothing modernized in the wrong way. Just tradition done right. The vibe It's cozy and full of regulars who know exactly what they're here for. You hear Hungarian, English, and that universal language of people pointing at meats they've been dreaming about all week. It's a cultural anchor for the neighborhood, and you feel that the second you walk in. The only heartbreak They don't ship nationwide

My mother was Hungarian and I grew up to appreciate Hungarian cuisine, especially their smoked…read moresausages. The Hungarian Meat Center, owned and operated by the Rozsa Family since 1988,specializes in everything Hungarian. The store is on the small side but upon entering smells of smoked sausages, garlic, paprika and cumin which permeate the air. When in the area, I stop in to pickup some Hungarian delicacy or another. This last visit, I bought a gyulai $16, Cseresz kolbasz $8, and a container of prune and apricot jam, $4.75 each. It's difficult to find Hungarian products in Northern New Jersey let alone at reasonable prices and at this quality level. I must add that their apricot jam has the right texture, no added sugar however the sweetness of the fruit remains. I love it. They also offer torta, punies, kremes/sampit, spices and seasonal candies.

From owner, Jeremy Salamon: "After five years, Agi's is…read moreleaving Franklin Avenue and will find a new home. This decision didn't happen overnight. The basement floods. The refrigerators are too small. There are fewer than 30 seats. Every year we've asked a little more of this tiny restaurant than it was built to give. We kept making it work because that's what restaurants do. You patch things. You mop. You move the boxes. You come in early. You leave late. You convince yourself one more busy weekend might solve a problem that isn't really solvable. Last fall, when we needed help, you gave it. In a big way. The support from this community carried us further than I thought possible. It gave us the chance to make changes, find our footing, and imagine a future here. But eventually the room tells you when it's time. And this one has given us everything it could. So before circumstances made the decision for me, I decided to make it myself. Our last dinner service will be June 14. Our last lunch service will be July 5. Between now and then, we'll cook some old tavorites. The tuna melts, the cheesecake, the deviled eggs, the borscht. All the things that somehow became bigger than the little room they came from. Mostly, I just want to say thank you. For every seat filled. Every celebration. Every regular who became a friend. Every person who took a chance on an Eastern European inspired restaurant with a crooked basement and ambitious ideas. I don't know exactly what Agi's looks like next. I only know that restaurants are never really the space they're in. They're the people who remember them long after the chairs are stacked and the lights go out." Folks, I cannot express how sad I am but know Jeremy and his incredible staff and restaurant will be back... If you have not dined at Agi's do not wait! This is a gem of a restaurant! I recommend everything! Loyal patron now and in the future!

Amazing staff and cute designs as well. I'll be back to try more items on the menu.

I went to this restaurant with a group a good while back, as can be seen from Andie's old review…read more This is one of two Czech restaurants in the city, along with Bohemian Spirit, located in the Bohemian National Hall, and the food here reminded me much more closely of what I had in the Czech Republic, or rather, now, Czechia. The inside looks and feels like a tavern, and there was the typical no-nonsense staff you find in Central and Southern European restaurants. They have a very reasonably priced beer menu, especially on tap, and I got a BrouCzech Dark for $7 for half a liter, with a 1/3 liter option for $5, with the other tap options being the pilsners Czechvar and the more standard Urquel. They gave us some free bread to start, before our very heavy shared meal. The first thing to arrive was the Boiled Perogies, consisting of 12 pieces for $25, topped with bacon and sour cream. I usually slightly prefer the fried version, but these were very tasty. It wasn't super doughy compared to most spots, and it had a nice filling. As per usual, the dumplings, which were a bit rich, were balanced by the sour cream. In short, I preferred these over the boiled pierogi from Karczma, among other spots. While we were eating, another smaller plate arrived, the Broiled Klobasa for $13, served with horseradish sauce. I am very particular about sausage quality, as my old hometown has a butcher shop that makes 25/30 homemade products, including many sausages, and this was very tasty. The klobasa had a good smoky flavor and had a good snap. The horseradish, mustard, and pickles on the side helped with the richness. I would recommend this also. For most people, their favorite dish of the evening was the Halusky for $27, or potatoes spaetzle with sheep cheese, topped with bacon. As per the other dishes, the portion size was very generous. The spaetzle had a good texture, and the dish was quite rich, creamy, and salty from the cheese and bacon. This version was comparable, if not better than, the excellent versions at the various Eastern European spots in Manhattan, and I would recommend this as well. Our least favorite dish by a lot was the Pork Schnitzel for $28, made with a potato pancake batter and topped with cheese. This came with a salad and a side item of our choice. The salad was very plain but fresh, with some potatoes and pickled vegetables on the side. The schnitzel lacked a bit of flavor and salt compared to the other dishes. This was the only miss of the evening, but it was still decent as the chicken had a nice breading. Next time, I would probably try their Svíčková, or in other words, beef and cream sauce, to compare it to Spirit and other dishes, such as the roast duck, if it's hopefully available as one of the specials. This was an above-average spot serving a less common cuisine, and I would recommend it.
