"The preparation is brilliant. Steak and potatoes. If I recall there were maybe a couple mushrooms, porcini maybe, but just a couple. A few roasted potatoes and then a couple cloves of perfectly roasted garlic. ... And then the key, the drizzle of some very HQ balsamic and olive oil over the meat. More people should prepare steak this way." – conordog on Babbo's grilled rib-eye

"As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are tons of good options (my favorite is the Guyanese Tropical—fried sweet plantains, avocado, and mild Guyanese cheese). ... My meat-eating friends swear by the pernil, pabellon, and baby shark arepas. ... Go for brunch: The café con leche is smooth and creamy, and the new brunch menu offers several platters of Venezuelan breakfast specialties." – CitySpoonful on Arepas Café in Queens

"About 17 years ago on a rainy September morning, my dear, sweet dad drove into the city to this store and bought dozens of bagels and a huge assortment of sides and cream cheese for me and my sisters and best friends. A few hours later, he walked me down the aisle. I'll miss you H&H." – southernitalian on H&H Bagels, which closed its flagship Broadway store last week
