There’s a new chicken spot on the block called Pickup Pollo and the concept is simple: chicken done in all different ways inspired by different cultures. #thebronx#dominican #picapollo #friedchickenicecream

Save this spot for your next birthday dinner or date night ✨ ilili just opened a gorgeous Midtown location and the vibes are perfect. Colorful chandeliers, elegant decor, and a menu full of delicious Lebanese classics with modern touches. 📍 @ililimidtown 157 E 53rd St, New York, NY #nycdinner#nyc#nycrestaurants #foodontiktok#nycfoodie

Checked out Limusina for a girls dinner and it really delivered across the board. The space is dim, intimate, and inspired by 1970s limousines which makes sense since it used to be a taxi limo depot! The menu leans modern Mexican with a lot of bold flavors throughout. Cocktails are agave-forward, definitely on the spicy side, but the Frozen Vampiro was a favorite at the table. For food, the yellowtail aguachile was incredibly fresh and flavorful, the elote brûlée was easily one of the best things we had, and the long bone short rib quesabirria is a must order, tender, cheesy, and perfect to share. Also don’t skip the chocolate masa torta for dessert. Definitely a spot to go with a group so you can try a bit of everything. 📍 @limusinanyc 441 9th Ave, New York, NY #nycrestaurants #nycfood #newrestaurant #datenight

Just tried the new 3-course brunch at Sirrah in the Meatpacking District and it’s one of those experiences that actually feels worth the price. For $60 you’re getting: 🥂 2 glasses of champagne (and they’re not stingy) 🥐 Fresh bread + pastry service (we cleaned that plate 😅) 🍽️ Your choice of entrée + unlimited crispy fries 🍓 Berries & crème to end We went for the berries & cream French toast + steak, both hit. Fries kept coming, sauces were on point, and they even came around with caviar bumps which just made the whole thing feel a little extra in the best way. If you wanna level it up, their cocktails are cute too, the Coconut was giving summer vibes. Perfect for a girls day, date, or a chill brunch. 🗓️ Brunch is now available on weekends (double check current hours before going!) Save this for your next NYC brunch plan 🍴✨ 📍 @sirrahnyc 1 Little W 12th St, New York, NY #nycfood #nycrestaurants #nycbrunch #manhattan #nycspots

Finally made it to Don Angie and yeah… that pinwheel lasagna is that girl. We caught a last minute 9:30pm reservation on Open Table and grabbed it. Started with the garlic flatbread and immediately ordered a second. The salad was giving Caesar but a little elevated, super cheesy, really good. The gnocchi was soft and rich, and the steak al límone was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our waiter recommended it and she did not lie. And of course the lasagna… sooo soft, incredibly cheesy, just melts in your mouth. I get the hype. Finished with the black cocoa tiramisu and couldn’t get enough. Also, if you’re trying to book a reservation, look for a table for 4… way easier to snag than 2. 📍 Don Angie 103 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY #donangie #nycrestaurants #nycfood

If you haven’t tried chino latino cuisine yet, this is your sign 🇵🇷🥢 China Grande is blending Chinese + Puerto Rican flavors in a way that just makes sense. From that bacalao Caesar to the thrice cooked chicharrón with guava BBQ (a Puerto Rican staple btw), every dish tells a story. favorites: – chorizo eggroll w/ spicy duck sauce – ceviche ají verde (that sauce is drinkable) – drunken chicken (MUST ORDER) – rice + beans… I need the recipe asap – pops flan to finish it off been here twice and already planning my next visit 😋 📍 Chino Grande 253 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY #chinolatino #puertorican #nycrestaurants #brooklyn

Found a spot near Grand Central that I actually loveeed Giulietta just opened in the MetLife Building and it’s from the team behind La Pecora Bianca, with a bright coastal Italian vibe. The cheesy garlic bread alone is worth it (do not skip it), plus good cocktails and a well-rounded menu. Favorites: garlic bread, cacio e pepe arancini, ricotta toast, and the Diavola pizza + burrata. Ended with their tableside chocolate mousse and it was a good call. Definitely a strong addition to the area. 📍 @giuliettanyc 200 Park Ave, New York NY #nycrestaurants #nycfood #newrestaurant #grandcentral

New restaurant in Hells Kitchen worth trying ✨ Such a fun girls night spot, beautiful ambiance, strong cocktails, and a menu with so many hits. Still thinking about the cornbread madeleines, French onion flatbread and that crispy skin salmon. And shoutout to the staff for steering us right all night. Definitely adding this one to my go-to list. 📍 @BarLolanyc 346 W 46th St, New York, NY #nycrestaurants #newrestaurant #hellskitchen #nycfood

Dinner and a movie… but make it Thai street food 🎬🍜 Godunk on NoHo is one of those spots that you’ll keep coming back to. The whole space is giving vintage cinema. Films playing on the walls, posters everywhere, and even the cocktail menu designed like a movie ticket with film-inspired drinks 🍿 But the real reason to go? The food. Everything was packed with flavor, but the choo chee prawns in that coconut curry broth alone are worth the visit. Definitely one I’d go back to. 📍 Godunk 332 Bowery, New York, NY #nycrestaurants #nycfood #thaifood #manhattan

If you’re heading to Barclays and need a good pregame dinner spot, keep Charm Bar on your list 👀🔥 The jerk flavors here do notttt play. From the wings to the lamb chops, everything had the perfect char, spice, and flavor. Plus the cocktails were hitting too 🍹 Definitely one of those spots that reminds you why you came back in the first place. 📍Charm Bar 448 Dean St, Brooklyn, NY #nycrestaurants #brooklyn #caribbeanfood #barclayscenter #nycfood

Bangkok street food flavors right here in Bed-Stuy 🇹🇭🔥 Finally checked out Ler Lers and the beef pad see ew alone is worth the visit. Sweet & savory noodles, tender beef, fun cocktails, crispy whole fish with spicy tamarind sauce… yeah they did their thing and the space is so pretty, perfect for the summer. Definitely one of those spots where you need to go with friends so everyone can order something different. 📍 @lerlersnyc 417 Tompkins Ave, Brooklyn, NY #nycrestaurants #brooklyn #thaifood #bedstuy

If you have Broadway tickets coming up… this is your sign to save this spot 🍝 We finally checked out La Pecora Bianca’s newest Theater District location and I already know we’ll be back. First of all, the ambiance is beautiful. Elevated but still cozy and the perfect vibe for a date night, girls night or dinner before a show. Food wise, they really did their thing here. The Too Much Fried Mozzarella is an absolute must. Imagine a supersized mozzarella stick sitting in vodka sauce with pesto drizzled on top… cheesy heaven okay. We also never skip the whipped ricotta because it never misses, and the Toscana salad had us talking about it the whole dinner. The ricotta + parmesan croutons added a nice touch. For drinks, the raspberry limoncello spritz was our favorite, especially if you like sweeter cocktails. And for mains, adding burrata to your pasta is mandatory in my opinion. The Vodka Rigatoni will forever have my heart. Also, if you’re catching a Broadway show nearby, they have a $55 three-course pre-theater prix fixe menu that honestly makes this spot even more worth it. And you can’t leave without ordering the tiramisu for two… which is honestly big enough to feed a small famil

Lowkey found a gem in LIC 👀 Recently stopped by Stories and honestly… this one exceeded my expectations. The vibe is loungey, sexy, and elevated without trying too hard — perfect for date night, drinks with friends, or when you want a spot that feels like dinner and a vibe. What we loved: ✨ The Stories Bowl served in a crispy fried plátano bowl (so good) 🍣 Fresh, flavorful sushi 🥩 Lamb chops that were seasoned the way they should be 🍝 Spicy rigatoni with burrata that actually had a kick 🍸 Fun cocktails with a story behind each one (Late Checkout & Riviera After Hours were our faves) ☕️ Their espresso martini? Don’t skip it. So damn good. Also, their weekday happy hour is actually solid 👀 Monday–Friday from 6–9PM with 2x1 margaritas, mixed drinks, wine, shots, bottles, + 2 apps for $25. Definitely coming back for that. 📍Stories 34-39 31st St, Long Island City, NY #nycfood #queensny #nycrestaurants #longislandcity #happyhour

I think I found one of NoMad’s prettiest spots 🌸✨ Recently checked out Park Rose and immediately loved the ambiance. Floral touches, tons of natural lighting, and a space that feels pretty without trying too hard. Definitely one of those spots that works for a cute lunch, dinner with the girls, or even a casual date night. We genuinely enjoyed every dish we tried. Started with the Whipped Ricotta and the mission fig jam with the warm flatbread was such a good combo. A Caesar salad will always be ordered by me and this one did not disappoint. And if you love charbroiled oysters like I do, the Oysters Casino are a must. The smoky flavor with pancetta and peppers was so good. For mains, our server recommended the Stuffed Shells and I’m so glad we listened. Stuffed with a four-cheese spinach filling and topped with lamb ragu… easily one of my favorite dishes of the night. The Branzino Piccata was also a good choice, the flavors of citrus and capers absolutely delivered. Overall, definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. 📍 @parkrose 444 Park Ave S, New York, NY #nycrestaurants #manhattan #nycfood #nomad #italianrestaurant

Queens, don’t walk… run 🏃🏻‍♀️🍽️✨ I checked out Coquito Blu in Whitestone and this spot surprised me in the best way. A modern Latin restaurant with flavors inspired by all over the Caribbean, Central & South America, craft cocktails, free parking and a menu where every dish really hit. Still thinking about the Mar y Tierra Montaditos, that perfectly grilled pulpo, the Coquito Blu cocktail and don’t even get me started on the Lechoncito Boricua, sooo JUICY. The paella was also a standout, the seafood was great but that rice really took it there. And because I clearly have no self control, we ended with the crème brûlée French toast and flan. No regrets 😅 Definitely adding this to my Queens faves. 📍 @coquitoblu 19-11 Francis Lewis Blvd, Whitestone, NY #nycrestaurants #queens #nycfood #puertorican #latinfood

A new Mediterranean restaurant just opened in the Financial District, and it’s definitely one to add to your list. ✨ Located on the first floor of the AC Hotel, Lithos has a beautiful ambiance with rustic stone accents and a warm orange glow throughout the space, perfect for date night. We started with the Pikilia, a selection of homemade spreads served with pita bread. The spicy feta was easily my favorite and a must-order. We also tried the Saganaki, which gets flambéed right at your table and is cheesy with a nice citrus kick. And if I see fried zucchini chips on a menu, I’m ordering them, so of course we had to try the Veggie Chips too. For mains, we shared the Lavraki, a whole branzino with capers and lemon that gave it such a nice flavor, and the Ribeye, served with thyme and an herb butter candle that gets torched tableside. For drinks, the Pineapple Martini has a nice kick to it, while the Maiden Lane is a refreshing cucumber cocktail if you want something lighter. They also offer weekday happy hour from 1–6 PM, with drinks ranging from $6–$10. Definitely worth checking out, especially since it’s right by the Seaport, perfect before or after a walk by the waterfront. 📍 @Lit

✨NEW✨ cocktail bar in the LES 🍸✨ I was walking through the Lower East Side when the street-side bistro seating at Ms. Alice caught my attention. Then I saw the open windows and that gorgeous bar inside and obviously… I had to see what it was about. Ms. Alice is one of the newest cocktail bars in the LES, inspired by European aperitivo culture, with martinis, spritzes, Italian-inspired share plates and a raw bar. Since it’s more of a cocktail spot and the food menu is pretty limited, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Tuna Carpaccio was INCREDIBLE. It sits on this lemon aioli that I could not get enough of. The burrata and spicy rigatoni were also great choices. For drinks, we tried the Strawberry Rhubarb Spritz, Salted Watermelon Spritz and Sticky Mango Punch. Both spritzes were refreshing and perfect for summer. The Sticky Mango Punch wasn’t our favorite only because we didn’t really get the fruits described on the menu, the toasted rice flavor came through the most. But if you want something different with a little kick, it’s definitely an interesting one to try. Between the open windows, bistro seating and the upstairs terrace, th

If you think Cookies N Cream is just a cookie shop… think again 🤤🍪🍦 With 20+ fun cookie flavors, from Ferrero Rocher to Biscoff plus ice cream, cereal swirls, milkshakes, cookies & ice cream, and even Dippin’ Dots, there’s truly something for every dessert craving. My personal favorites were The Sugar Brûlée with that torched, crackly sugar top and the Cinnamon Bun cookie that literally tastes like a cinnamon roll. And if you love rainbow cookies, pairing theirs with the rainbow cookie ice cream is a MUST. We also made a Swirlie with vanilla ice cream, Cap’n Crunch Berries & Crunchies and the combo was 🔥. My stepson went straight for the Choco Choco Chunk milkshake and said it was one of the best chocolate shakes he’s ever had, so there’s that. 😂 Cookies N Cream is officially taking over the Tri-State with locations across NY, NJ, and now PA, so check if there’s a location near you. #nycfood #cookiesandcream #desserttiktok #cinnamonroll #cookies

One thing about me… I’m always going to show up for Dominican-owned businesses. 🇩🇴❤️ I finally checked out Dulce by El Sazón in the Lower East Side and I love seeing our traditional dishes elevated while still keeping those flavors that remind you of home. A few favorites: ✨ Guavaberry Cocktail ✨ Yaroa Poppy ✨ Pescado Boca Chica (my MUST order 🤤) ✨ Tres Leches (one of the best I’ve had at a sit-down restaurant!) The Pescado Boca Chica instantly transported me back to DR. Crispy, flaky, packed with flavor, and those batata fritas were the perfect side. And don’t even think about skipping dessert—the tres leches tasted fresh, homemade, and had the perfect milk-to-cake ratio. Overall, I’d definitely come back, especially because now I need to try their brunch. 👀 📍 127 Ludlow St, New York NY #dominicanfood #manhattan #nycrestaurants #nycfood #dominican

Steak, seafood, FIREE martinis & a 17-layer chocolate cake… Carne Mare understood the assignment 🤌🏽🥩🍸 This Italian chophouse at Pier 17 is such a solid pick for date night or a group dinner. Great food, waterfront views and don’t sleep on that heirloom polenta! 📍 Carne Mare | Seaport, NYC #nycfood #nycrestaurants #manhattan #datenight #waterfront
