In our continued hunt to keep eating awesome pizza in New York, we stopped by this place shortly after going to Scarr’s pizza.
Got two pizza’s at this place. One was cheese, and the other pepperoni. Would stop by here again if I were in the area.
Scarr’s Pizza
This is apparently a popular pizza place in china town. Fortunately when we got there the line wasn’t too long.
They’re known I think for their thick square pizza’s. I got a pepperoni square pizza, but also a regular cheese pizza. Both were great.
What was also good about this place is that there is a bar to hang out at the back of the restaurant. That enhanced the vibe for me.
Forgtmenot
Checked out this bar in Chinatown (near the lower east side) to meet up with a friend and their friend from BM. Definitely had a dive bar feel.
Food was ok, but probably would not go out of my way to go there again unless I was in the area. For drinks, mainly just got black label on the rocks.
Tara Rose
Great brunch spot for a boozy brunch in New York.
This place has the standard brunch items (ie scrambled eggs, bacon, jalapeño poppers, fried chicken. Of course also got a mimosa, plus an Irish coffee, and some other drinks (haha, wish I could remember).
Vic’s
We went to this restaurant for our first dinner in New York in NOHO.
Overall, great Italian place an vibe. Would come back here again.
For drinks I mainly got an Aperol Spritz. For food, we shared several appetizers, and also each got our own main (not 100% sure what most things below are called, but would heat each of them again).
Souvlaki Story
Went here after a long night out in Mykonos.
I got a gyros (aka shawarma) plate. It comes with a lot of food (see below). Would grab this again (even for non-late night food).
Cookie Smart Bakery
Grabbed a quick desert pastry at this place.
Basically got a baklava type thing that was chocolate filled, plus a latte. Was pretty good.
Mykonos Social
We twenty to this place for dinner because Jason Atherton (head chef of this restaurant) is a Michelin star chef.
This restaurant is in a resort in what we called the “rich” part of Mykonos. You NEED a reservation to get into the resort (it’s guarded by a gate).
For drinks, we got a white wine from Santorini. Also got something called The Avenger (which had a mix of Monkey Shoulder whisky, and some tomato sauce. Almost feel it was derived from a Caesar, but it’s not spicey.
For appetizers, we got a salmon dish, a ham dish, a dish with feta and vegetables in bread, and sea bass with pesto. All great and would get them again.
For the main, we got a medium cooked tomahawk steak, penne with pesto, a Greek salad, and some sort of fish dish. All were great.
For desert, got a white chocolate cake thing. It’s good in small doses (wouldn’t get one for myself).
Eva’s Garden
We came here for dinner on our first night in Mykonos.
For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz. For appetizers, we shared a Greek meatball dish called Soutzoukakia. It tasted like a traditional meatball dish, but still pretty good. Also got some fried feta. It was alright, but prefer mozzarella sticks.
For my main, got penne with salmon. It was great, and again, great portion size.
Athinios Restaurant-Cafe
Went here to grab lunch before our ferry from Santorini to Mykonos took off.
Place was good, but wish they served cocktails (it was on their menu!).
For drinks, got a Rose (pretty standard). For food, we got tzatziki with pita (the tzatziki itself was really good, but the pita bread was meh compared to others we had tried in Greece), and a mixed salad (felt pretty refreshing).
For the main, I wanted to try something Greek. In the menu, they listed spaghetti and meatballs under it, so I gave that a try. It was pretty good, but didn’t really see what was so “Greek” about it (tasted like a traditional spaghetti).
Overall, a good place to wait for your ferry, especially since they had a screen you could use to watch you ferry come in.
