Recommendation Roundup!

Hey fellow foodies,

Here are a few of this week's recommendations which were requested from our readers. Enjoy and keep them coming!

Burger joints, UWS, $$
5 Napkin Burger just opened a new branch in the old Ollie's space at 84th/Bway. It usually garners rave, or at least high-end, reviews.

For a little more substance, and a little less style, give Shake Shack a try at 77th/Columbus. Be prepared for a bit of a wait though, depending on the day/time you go. They have delicious custards & concretes as well.

Another choice is Toast, with a fun, casual vibe, plus it's known for its burgers.

Finally, you can't go wrong with a low key American bar & grill staple like Firehouse, it's a neighborhood favorite.

Indian, downtown, (up to) $$$$$

Banjara- supposed to be a stand out in the midst of Indian Row in the east village.

Brick Lane Curry House- a nicer & bustling Indian spot.

Madras Mahal and Chennai Garden are a couple of popular vegetarian options to consider as well, located in Gramercy.

Chinese, UES, $$
Cafe Evergreen- garners much praise for its dim sum & varied menu selection.

Wa Jeal- known for spicy, Szechuan food.

Shanghai Pavillion- seems to be an UES favorite for Chinese, though on various foodie sites, it draws very strong opinions, in both directions... could be exciting to give it a try.
