    Crack Kale
    Ethan P.

    Whitman's!! It's just so... comfy. Most of the seating is in their basement downstairs, which is small but feels so warm and inviting with its fun assortment of throwback Americana/NYC decor and the stack of well-loved board games they keep in the corner. For what it lacks in vibrancy, it certainly makes up for in warmth. Walking in is easy, and the food is exactly what you'd expect. The juicy lucy is imperfect -- the pimento cheese is a fun concept, but kind of ends up being its own big blob instead of mixing in with the burger like it's supposed to -- but I mean, it tastes great. The fries are a good portion and solid, and the crack kale is honestly fantastic: light, airy, melt-in-your-mouth kale with plenty of Old Bay flavor. A great neighborhood spot for a perfectly respectable burger!

    Smash Burger
    Maddi B.

    Whitmans has propelled itself to the top of our smashburger list. This amazing smash deviated from the standard by lacking pickles, but we didn't even care. It's perfectly moist without being greasy, which is usually a con, but in this case, it was a major pro. The flavor was on point. The SIDES were AMAZING. The crust on the onion rings almost melted in my mouth, and the loaded tots were not only gorgeous but also delicious. They were giving gourmet with the smokey cheese and pieces of bacon. It is pretty expensive for a smash with a side, but it's worth it.

    Solid lunch spot in the neighborhood. The fries are far superior to the tater tots. Lamb burger was really tasty, but did think it was bizarre that the cheese came on the side. You can skip the fried pickles and just order some more fries.

    After a show at UCB we came here for dinner. It was busy on a Friday night upstairs but downstairs was dead. I have been here a number of times but it has been a few years. I got the juicy Lucy which was excellent and the fried pickles which were also very good. The fries are amazing as well. It's like a rump room style downstairs which is fun. Definitely come here for burgers if you're in the area!

    The ambiance was good and casual, great for friends. The service was not so good, took about 30 minutes to get the check. Food was decent, I would recommend getting a smash burger instead of the regular burger since the patty is very thick.

    Juicy Lucy

    Whitman's has a nice shack set up for outdoor seating with heat lamps for their three or so tables. It was a nice place for a cold Friday. We ordered a wedge salad and fried pickles to start. The pickles were very crispy and had a good sauce to go with it. The wedge salad was pretty good as well. I don't love blue cheese so I scraped a lot of the dressing off but the bacon bits went well with it. We shared the juicy Lucy burger between two of us. The burger was a bit smaller than I expected although it was quite heavy with all the cheese so we were still full at the end of the meal. Overall a cozy place to for outdoor dining. Service was a little slow although expected given COVID times.

    How have I not reviewed Zou Zou's? It's one of my favorite places. High points:…read more Decor- it's beautiful Service- every time I've been there it's been outstanding. I brought a friend with a specific allergy and everyone involved in service was aware and assured us that dishes didn't contain the offending nuts. Food- I live for their branzino. The duck borek is amazing. My friend who rarely eats meat proclaimed the filet on the skewer as the best steak she's ever had. The cheesecake is phenomenal. I really recommend the chef's menu. You get a sample of everything served family style and at $79 a person, it's a deal considering that if you ordered appetizers, an entree and dessert you'd pay much more than that in any restaurant in Manhattan. I've done that twice and still ended up taking food home. Drink prices are in line with mid-town Manhattan but $12 for a bottle of San Pellegrino is a little excessive. I'd be okay with $8 or $9 but I guess a few bucks in the grand scheme of things is not the end of the world. I've been there a few times and I'll note that I had reservations on a busy Thursday and was seated outside (which was lovely) but then it started raining hard and they were so helpful and gracious in finding us a place to squeeze in on the inside. Really top notch service. I'll also note that I brought a friend from Seattle and her husband is an architect for restaurants and she was wowed by the entire experience, which made me feel great!

    We all know that New York is home to so many great restaurants, yet I can confidently say that Zou…read moreZou's is one of the best. They have a lovely rooftop bar while you wait for a table. Then, when it was finally time to be seated in the dining room, I was so pleased with the upscale, romantic interior. Our server for that night was Ferdian, who was so attentive and had real class service. We made the reservation with OpenTable for 12 and ended up with 13 people. I love that the staff was so accommodating with the last-minute request We did the pre-fixed menu to make things easier. Everything was delicious from the beginning to the end. They were also able to accommodate gluten-free and dairy-free restrictions among those wonderful meals. My favorites were the dips, branzino, and hamachi. duck borek, and the desserts! The grilled pineapple was out of this world. Simple dish with complex flavors. The crunchy cheese cake was delicious too. I had the Road to Jericho cocktail, and it was yummy.
