"Who's Hungry?"

  • Food: New American
  • Decor: Cozy/Rustic
  • Service: Knowledgable
  • Cost: $$$
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

5 Ninth provided the perfect setting for a first date. The combination of the trendy setting, personalized service, and amazing food made my dining experience outstanding!

I began my meal with the Westside Mule cocktail, infused with polish vodka, canton french ginger liqueur, lime juice, and jamaican ginger beer. The creative mix was not overpowering. I then ordered the beet salad, which is served on raw Kale. I split the main course, Fregola Sardinia Pasta (assorted seafood, fregola, saffron broth, and peas).

I am looking forward to my second date at 5 Ninth!

Special Dishes:

Westside Mule Cocktail, Fregola Sardinia Pasta

"Authentic and Amazing!"

  • Food: Korean
  • Decor: Hip/Trendy
  • Service: Superb!
  • Cost: $$$
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

This was my first dining experience at a David Chang restaurant, and I was immediately impressed. I attended Momofuku Ssam Bar with three of my girlfriends, hungry for an authentic Korean dinner. The ambiance of the restaurant was new and trendy, overall an exciting setting to dine in.

We began our meal with the Pork Buns. They were the perfect combination of a warm bun, soft pork belly, and crispy vegetables. I also ordered the honey crisp apple kimchi, consisting of a sweet yet spicy taste. The unexpected combination of flavors worked in the dishes favor. I made sure to taste test my friends order of bev eggleston’s pork shoulder steak, consisting of piperade, pine nuts, and cauliflower. The delicately prepared pork and ingredients blended well together.

We splurged on the pear sorbet for dessert! A wonderful finale to a filling meal!

Special Dishes:

bev eggleston’s pork shoulder steak, peach sorbet

"Best Steak in NYC!"

  • Food: American/Steakhouse
  • Decor: Classy
  • Service: Attentive
  • Cost: $$$
  • Wine / Cocktails:

Overview:

I dare say that Sparks Steak House provided me with the best steak I've had throughout the 5 boroughs. I immediately ordered the Sliced Steak served with fresh mushrooms and bordelaise sauce. The meat was a large cut, and was cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of redness. I ended my meal with the Chocolate Truffle, which was rich and delicious.

I will definitely be returning to Sparks when I'm in the mood for a hardy steak!

Special Dishes:

Sliced Steak, Chocolate Truffle

"A Delicious Steak!"

  • Food: Steakhouse
  • Decor: Cozy
  • Service:
  • Cost: $$$

Overview:

Frankie and Johnnie's Steakhouse was a delightful dining experience! I especially enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the second floor. I settled on one dish, assuming I would fill up easily, which was true! I ordered the Surf and Turf, a smaller steak accompanied with two pieces of shrimp. The steak was cooked just way I prefer, juicy and delicious! If you are craving a classic steak in Manhattan, swing by Frankie and Johnnie's!

Once again, I was craving a classic juicy hamburger! I swung by Shake Shack with a friend for quick stop, and was easily satisfied. I ordered the tradition Shack Stack burger at the counter.
