"The River Café is a Michelin-starred restaurant that is located directly under the Brooklyn Bridge. NY-eater.com describes The River Café as a romantic eatery that has been “serving imaginative American food with gorgeous views for 40 years.” Lastly, it is a restaurant that caters to special events like anniversaries, marriage proposals, and weddings, featuring a classic American dinner menu with items like River Café Oysters, Hot Foie Gras, Colorado Lamb, Niman Ranch Beef, and desserts such as Chocolate Brooklyn Bridge and Pear Souffle."

"Since the 1950s, Junior’s has attracted notable customers from all walks of life – mayors, presidents, Hall of Fame athletes, authors, singers, movie stars and more. This famous restaurant serves all kinds of all-American grub, from fried shrimp and chicken wings to burgers, sandwiches, and barbecue with all the fixings. Junior’s has also established a reputation for the best cheesecake in New York City."

"Junior’s is famous for their signature New York cheesecake, and this place is a must. With several locations in the city, there’s no excuse to miss out. Their original branch is located on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, so stop by for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and/or cheesecake."

"Cheesecake and Junior’s go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly, pen and paper, and Cher and Nicholas Cage in Moonstruck. Ask anyone in NYC where to get the best cheesecake and they will direct you to Junior’s. Their cheesecake is world famous, after all."

"Restaurants American Lower East Side. The folks forming queues outside this stroller-friendly bakery-café aren't doing so for their health. Instead, it's for the kitchen's wildly popular pancakes: fluffy, golden griddle cakes that you can (and should) smother liberally with Maine blueberry jam and warm, luscious maple butter."

"The Lower East Side restaurant is one of the most famous brunch destinations in the city. It’s best known for its stacks of thick, fluffy pancakes, but don’t miss the latke eggs Benedict with smoked salmon, or the Southern breakfast plate with fried green tomatoes, cheesy, creamy grits, and sugar-cured bacon."

"Clinton Street Baking Company is a Lower East Side institution famous for its pancakes, which have been consistently voted best in the city."

"Restaurants Cafés Little Italy. Michelin-starred chef Armand Arnal (France's La Chassagnette) brings Southern France to Soho with this pint-sized French café, awash in country charm, with reclaimed farmer's tables, vintage colander chandeliers and spindle-leg stools parked at window counters. Partnering with Experimental Cocktail Club co-founder Benjamin Sormonte and baker-event planner Elisa Marshall, classically trained Arnal pulls recipes from the trio's respective families and honors his own Montpellier childhood with dishes like quiche lorraine, chickpea galettes and Nice's take on pizza, focaccia pissaladière."

"Founded by Michelin-starred chef Armand Arnal, Maman specializes in high-quality French cuisine at a bakery level price point. The cookies are made with sea salt, French chocolate, macadamias, almonds, and walnuts for a sweet and gooey treat you won't want to miss. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the aesthetics of this cute open air cafe."

"Maman is an idyllic Fench Cafe and bakery serving breakfast with eight locations around NYC. Tribeca has the most spacious location with plenty of seating. Enjoy soup, salads, and sandwiches along with other brunch and breakfast favorites in a gorgeous heated outdoor setting."

"A post shared by Dinosaur Bar-B-Que (@dinosaur_bbq) on Jul 18, 2017 at 10:00am PDT. Located on Union Street, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que is a great family restaurant serving delicious barbeque dishes. This place is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, so the whole family is welcome to dine in."

"GowanusRibs, brisket, BBQ pork, and burgers from Dinosaur Bar-B-Que’s Brooklyn location are calling your name. Luckily you can cure your craving with takeout and delivery of its full menu.How to order: Via website"

"Just the thought of these dry rubbed and slow smoked St. Louis ribs is enough to get your mouth watering. Seriously, we won’t judge you if you lick your fingers clean after a full plate."

"Located on a corner in the heart of Greenpoint, this iconic restaurant is one of the more well-known diners in Brooklyn and has been around since 1928. The restaurant gets its name from what they pride themselves on, the classic diner triple-decker sandwich, which has an entire page dedicated to them on their menu with various options. While one can expect all the diner classics, the most noteworthy selections are their “All-Stars” sandwiches, named lovingly after Brooklyn and New York sports teams."

"I went here for one really fun hungover breakfast situation with friends, which sealed the deal for me, but this place is: alarmingly fast (which means they can seat you quickly, too), so much more affordable than most other West Village breakfast spots, and it has very good chocolate chip pancakes. Go-to order: My weekend-breakfast usual: two sunny side up eggs, side of bacon well-done, buttered rye toast and hash browns, but I also ate half of my boyfriend’s chocolate chip pancakes because the best breakfast combo is savory and sweet."

"Don’t let the fancy name fool you: this cash-only dive slings cheap American eats in an unassuming setting, complete with bright blue vinyl stools and a Formica counter. A refreshing change for the posh West Village locale, it’s the place to enjoy simple-yet-satisfying food -- stacks of pancakes, omelettes anyway you like 'em, old-school milkshakes -- and maybe catch a celebrity sighting. All for only a few bucks."

"This West Village cash-only haunt has a modest storefront emblazoned with vintage Coca-Cola signs. It’s the greasy American classics on offer – ranging from burgers and ham-and-cheese sandwiches to pancakes and an omelette with hot dogs in it – that have kept this diner open since the early 1930s, but doesn’t hurt that most dishes cost less than $10."

"You may not fully understand her (seriously, how?), but you can get her this legendary chocolate-caramel-sea-salt tart. 81 Broadway (at Berry St.), Brooklyn; 718-384-1441 or marlowandsons.com. RELATED: 14 Things You Need to Eat (and Drink) This Fall"

"Surf and turf with poached lobster and filet mignon are among Ocean Prime’s specialties. Located on the same avenue of The Modern (a two-starred Michelin restaurant we went to celebrate my best pal’s birthday) and MoMA, Ocean Prime is one of those places where you go before watching a Broadway show or bring your clients to sign a big deal - classy, sophisticated, and modern with world-class food and a fantastic wine list. They are famous for their seafood and perfectly grilled steaks, but it is the seafood that stands out."

"Located in the heart of Manhattan, Ocean Prime serves up tasty seafood dishes, prime cuts of steaks, and signature cocktails. They have a very large menu but don’t let that intimidate you. Some of the popular dishes are their Lobster Rolls, Lobster Bisque and their Lobster Mashed Potatoes."

"Restaurants Seafood Sheepshead Bay. Have a seat on the deck overlooking Sheepshead Bay, and enjoy Clemente’s all-you-can-eat crab special. You may end up with more meat on you than in you, but the tasty critters—coated with Old Bay or steeped in garlic and butter—are more than worth the mess."

"Every Wednesday evening, this Brooklyn institution features an all-you-can-eat special on Maryland blue crab. Your choice: traditional Old Bay seasoning, or garlic style. Round out your meal with a bunch of oysters or Little Necks, a side of crab chowder, or a couple of crab cakes doused in chipotle remoulade."

"A New Orleans vibe is the inspiration behind this restaurant, which is owned by Joshua Boissy. The interior is a gorgeous salon that has green walls that have been fogged to give a lived-in look to the restaurant. The two main reasons to visit this restaurant are the oysters and the absinthe, both of which are staples in the New Orlean’s French Quarter."

"This taste of New Orleans in the middle of Brooklyn is a prime spot in the middle of Williamsburg. This is the perfect place for anyone catching a movie at the nearby Nitehawk or W..."

"Natura Spa is absolutely one of the friendliest spas in New York City. Come here once to meet your therapist for the day and walk away, prepared to re-book with your new favourite practitioner for the foreseeable future. It doesn’t matter what you’re turning up here for – be it a massage, a haircut or a wax: by the end of your treatment you’ll not only be on first name terms but also verging on friends."
