Pinche Taqueria
Located in the Nolita neighborhood, this quaint little spot offers some of the city's best Mexican food. Besides being easy on the pocketbook, the food is so authentic that it even gets rave reviews from Southern California residents.
Decorated in a rustic and festive manner with strings of chili pepper lights and a bright mural painted over the exposed brick, Pinche Taqueria has charm to spare. The space is small and the layout tight, but the ambiance (and delicious carne asada tacos) will keep you coming back time and time again.

Corner Bistro
For more than 100 years, the Corner Bistro in West Greenwich Village has been serving customers in the same comfortable bohemian ambiance with the same friendly service. The last of the area's original bohemian establishments, it serves up sandwiches practically the size of your head for prices you won't believe.
Many New Yorkers argue that the Corner Bistro's half-pound, flame-broiled, messy-to-eat burger is the best in the city. The restaurant also serves soups, including fabulous chili, and its generous portions of fries are sliced on-site, always freshly fried to crispy perfection.
The Corner Bistro is also a tavern, serving its full menu of food and drinks until 4 a.m.
