Tuome was more exciting when it first opened, but it’s a fine option for a snack and some wine.
Sixty Three Clinton
If you’re interested in trying a tasting menu, but you don’t have hundreds to spend, check out this LES spot.

Get a casual drink and one of the best burgers in the East Village at The Lions.
Hard Rock Cafe
The Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square is fine for looking at music memorabilia, and buying merch from the gift shop.
Henry Public
Henry Public is a great place to spend a quiet night in Cobble Hill with a friend, a burger, or just whatever book you’re reading.
Dave & Busters
It's a good thing Dave & Buster's has plenty of arcade games to distract you from the food.
Applebee's
We’re slightly worried about the Times Square outpost of this worldwide chain. Fun drinks, though.
Hoexter's
Hoexter's is a throwback to the 1970s, complete with gorgonzola bread and flannel wallpaper.
Swoony's
This Carroll Gardens restaurant does “American bar and grill” (and creamed spinach) better than your local neighborhood spot.

Frog Club
It’s almost impossible to get a table at this secretive West Village restaurant. And that’s for the best.
333 Lounge
This lounge in Prospect Heights is a good post-dinner spot if you’re in the mood for some drinks and low-key live music.
Baba Cool
Baba Cool has grain bowls, sandwiches, and a cute backyard where you can sit and read a Staff Pick from McNally Jackson.
Bar Miller
Bar Miller does an exciting, $250 dollar omakase dinner that almost exclusively uses locally, and sustainably, sourced ingredients.
The Standard Grill
If you’re going to drink at The Standard, you might as well eat a pork chop there too.
STK Steakhouse
This infamous steakhouse isn't as much of a scene anymore, but the food is still solid.
Fig & Olive
