Me Want Food

So I talk to a lot of people about restaurants when I'm out on shoots for my NY1 Zagat Segments. Here's an updated list of what's out there: 

Defonte's: Sandwiches: Try number 34 - the pork hero. 
261 Third Ave. at 21st St. 212-614-1500 

Braeburn: quail sausage, lemon tarts. 
117 Perry St., near Greenwich St. 212-255-0696

Tanoreen: Bay Ridge, voted Best of Cheap Eats by NY Mag. Apparently out of this world yummy middle eastern food. 
7704 3rd Ave., Brooklyn. Take R train to 77th and 4th. Walk to 3rd. 

DiFara's: Pizza in Midwood. Apparently people traveling from Philly bought 4 pies and ate them all. Older owner makes all of the pizza on his own so they're closed on Mondays and 
Tuesdays (This is all hear say!?) 
1424 Ave. J at E 15th St., Brooklyn, 11230 

Una Pizza Napoletana - Open Thursday - Sunday - 5:00pm until sold out. Only 4 options on the menu so they better be good. 
349 E. 12th St., Manhattan

Aurora: Supposedly the best Italian out there. 
70 Grand St. at Wythe Ave. 

Motorino: In Williamsburg, voted best pizza by blah blah and so and so 
319 Graham Ave. at Devoe St. 

Little Owl: Alumni chef from The Harrison and Pace. 
90 Bedford St. at Grove 

Perilla

Market Table

Bar at Moma

170 Thompson St. 

Cook Shop: Recommended for brunch to try Semolina Raisin French Toast. Same owners of Five Points and Hundred Acres. 
156 10th Ave. at 20th St. 

Five Points

Casa Mono

Hecho En Dumbo: @ The Dumbo General Store.  This one has been on my list for years. What can I say - I love DUMBO and I really enjoy Mexican food. 
111 Front St. between Adams and Washington 

Ed's Lobster Bar: Ooops he's in trouble for infringing on the intellectual property rights of Pearl's Oyster Bar but I'll add Ed to this list regardless. 

Orchard

Ino'teca

Pearl's Oyster Bar: Man I met today eats here at least 4 times a week 


Baby Bo's Cantina: Mexican Food 
627 2nd Ave.  nr 34th St. 

The Grocery: Carroll Gardens restaurant for New American eats (with the obvious Brooklyn organic, local etc. etc. etc)
