Location: 151 East 57^th Street, New York, NY

Cuisine: South American

Best Dish: Fish Ribs are a thing and you need to experience them at least once. Imagine all the flavor and texture of tender baby back ribs with the healthiness of grilled fish. Fish ribs are outstanding and as far as we know this is the only place that serves them.

Price: $$$

Overall: Enter Pulperia and prepare yourself for a good meal in a lively atmosphere. The menu is mostly seafood so bring your seafood-loving friends here for a night of Reggaeton Latin Pop and sexy cocktails.

La Barrita Brings Argentina to Brooklyn (Review)

by xoJohn December 6, 2016

Location: 132 Montague Street, Brooklyn

Cuisine: Argentinean

Best Dish: Though we would happily eat our way through a swimming pool of their decadent wild mushroom sauce, the star of the evening was the bone in short rib, a carnivore’s dream come true.

Overall: A quaint casual eatery with warmth and charm to spare. Add it to your date night roster or weekly happy hour rotation.

Restaurant Review: Scarpetta

by Desha Winborne June 24, 2013

written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 355 W 14th St, New York, NY 10014

Cuisine: Modern Italian

Items: 3 appetizers, 3 pasta dishes, 1 entree, 2 desserts, 4 cocktails

Best Dish: I’m not much of a seafood eater but the Braised Octopus was amazing. Tender octopus with just the right amount of smokiness. This was simply divine! The Pancetta wrapped pork chop comes as a very close second. Both items in the same meal are a grand interpretation of classic surf and turf, a must have for all foodies.

Overall: Despite the fancy decor and stylized plating the atmosphere at Scarpetta is surprisingly relaxed. It is like having a meal at a very wealthy friend’s beautiful home. It is instantly opulent and relaxed a good space for a special family dinner or a night out with your favorite foodies.
