By far the best pizza anywhere. When in NY I want to eat there everyday. Their Original is a marguerita (sp?) pizza that is STOOPID GOOD. You will like it. The wait can be long but worth it.
Pros: Their Original Pizza, Ambiance, History, Neighborhood
Cons: Not Any

We have always been huge fans of Magnolia, so when we got married we had a cupcake tree instead of a wedding cake. The Magnolia staff (Misty in particular) were amazingly helpful and sweet (no pun intended) in getting the details just right for us.
We ended up giving away cupcakes in individual boxes as favors as well. All together it got to be pricey, but not more than a normal wedding cake.
I'm going back Saturday to get a red velvet cake for a friend's birthday and the Magnolia cook book is a favorite of mine for baking at home!
Pros: Amazing cakes and cupcakes (of course)
Cons: the calories

Used to live down the block from here; due to the perpetual out-the-door wait, I would pop by an hour before, go eat elsewhere, and then head back for the reason to go--the dessert. The frozen hot chocolate is a much-imitated but unequaled classic. Not the cleanest joint, but chock full of retro, cute ambiance. Skip dinner and eat up dessert. Want to try the Vegas one next time I'm there.
Pros: Delicious desserts
Cons: Always a wait, lackluster entrees.

I have only come here for their weekly Drum n' Base/House party on Tuesdays so that is what I'm basing my review on.
Sin Sin is the THE spot on Tuesday nights for electronic music fans. Their Camoflauge party has a great rotating lineup of DJs, including some big names in the Drum n' Base world.
The decor is a little cheesy, but at least the music is great, there's a lot of energy, and there's plenty of space to mingle and dance. Drinks are pretty reasonable and the bartenders are super sweet.

My husband and I have been dining at Three of Cups for years and have always had a great meal. There are a variety of great Italian meals to choose from. The soups, salads, pizzas, pastas, and entrees are all incredible. If you want a great meatball then you must visit! The owners always come around to greet you and the staff is very friendly. Linguine and white clam sauce, cesaer salad, risotto specials, etc... are all delicious!!!! Dining here is a must!!!!!!!
Pros: Good food, good service, always accomodating
Cons: none

We recently had our first experience at Balthazar, but definitely not our last. Atmospher and service were great. Steake frites and creme brulee were delicious.

I love Trailer Park. On Tuesdays night they have a burger, tater tots and beer (PBR) special that not to be beat. Their frozen margaritas are so tasty and strong. Vegetarian? No problem -- they have many veggie options (veggie burger, veggie sloppy joe). They also have turkey burgers. The decor is --- well --- as if you were in a trailer park. I love the pregnant, smoking, curler wearing, flamingo slipper wearing mannequin. I highly recommend this place!

I don't usually write reviews, but I have to tell you Gonzo is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. You can always count on them for a great meal. Their pizzas are amazing. So thin and crispy because they're cooked on a grill. And you can't go wrong with their pasta, especially the papperdelle with veal ragu. The other thing I really like about this place is that the menu appeals to everyone, not like some restaurants with menus so limited you might find one thing you like. I can take anyone here and know they're going to find something they like. In these tough economic times, I don't want to waste time or money going somewhere I'm inevitably disappointed. I know if I'm dining at Gonzo, I'm going home happy. This is why Gonzo has been around for over six years and has definately become my LOCAL.
Pros: Always consistently good
Cons: None
