"[I]f it happens to be on the menu when you go, try to get the kogashi miso ramen. It's a specialty of Ippudo's more upscale sister restaurant Gogyo in Tokyo. It's a 'burnt' miso ramen made incorporating the oil from charred garlic. Really great." – Notorious P.I.G. on Ippudo
"A big round of applause ... Steamed mussels, broccoli rabe, sauteed salmon, fettuccine carbonara (they were happy to substitute linguine when I asked for it), great bread, great service—plus a warm, relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere that's becoming harder and harder to find in any borough." – badantdee on Antonio's Trattoria in the Bronx
"A few slices at Joe's (try the fresh mozzarella one, too), then a croissant at Claude's, gelato at L'Arte de Gelato, try some of the wares at Murray's Cheese or Amy's Bread. Yum! You could also stop for a cocktail or two and some light bar snacks at Pegu Club when they open around 6 pm or so. Or a glass of wine at the bar at Otto. Babbo would then be a short walk away from either." – kathryn maps out a chow crawl in the Village
