Where I Go Out

$$$$, French, Reservations, Wine Bar, Full Bar, Seafood, Midtown
"This dish is a great combination of foie gras, croutons, raw tuna, and olive oil."
Dry aged côte de bœuf
$$$, Burgers, American, Steakhouse, Greenwich Village
"The côte de bœuf is the benchmark for all other steaks in this city, and that Black Label burger has a really great blend of meat. What does he put in there?"

The Prime Meats Burger
$$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, New American, German, Bar, Carroll Gardens
"This is one of the best restaurants in New York City. It does everything really well but I like to get its perfectly balanced Old-Fashioned and the burger, which is made with aged beef. It’s just an outstanding hamburger with a nice beefy flavor and good portions."
Cavatelli
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Wine Bar, Full Bar, Breakfast, Italian, Carroll Gardens
"This is one insanely simple and deeply satisfying pasta dish. It's also totally New York City, and I love that. It's equally as great if you're sitting at a table at one of the Frankies or if you're eating it ice-cold from a to-go box straight out of the fridge at 3:30 a.m., while using your fingers as utensils."
