Neighborhood favorite...a classic french bistro that is reasonably priced, with warm ambiance. Service could be better, but somehow, the back garden and casual vibe make it all worth it. Cote de boeuf for two, and the salade nordique are fantastic, as is a quiet breakfast by the window with your NYT.

The best cheap and cheerful in the hood...awesome vietnamese, and every item on the menu is fantastic. The papaya shrimp salad is fresh and light (but the eat-in portion is double the size of the take out version for some reason). Special sticky rice has crack in it...addiction forming!

Reliable, reasonable, good food and great service. They only need to see you once to remember you. Hands down the best diner in the 'hood, especially if you can get an outdoor table on a sunny day.

Fun, casual, comfort food. Great for kids and families, or a catch up with a friend. Love the creative spirit here.

Beautiful cozy space - standard cafe treats, but it's really the bright airy space that makes it special.

New York needs more places like this - casual, classic college cafe, where you can dwell for hours. Delicious sandwiches and freshly baked treats. Great locations.

Fantastic food, everything on the menu is something you want to eat. Try the oxtail - it falls off the bone! Also love the live cuban music, and friendly service.

Quaint back garden, nice menu, romantic and quiet - perfect for a date you want to get to know.

The bar has a great vibe (whoever did their lighting is seriously talented!) Nice bartenders - eat at the bar. Great burgers!
