Sol:Pepperoni slice is the best Sicilian you can get, better when fresh so eat it right away.

J Crowley:No joke - the Vodka Sauce slice is one of the best I've ever had. Grab a side of Prosciutto balls (with ricotta) and a window seat. People watch and stuff your face like a Creepy McFatso!

jake furst:everything you could want in a New York slice: thin and crunchy crust, sweet and tangy sauce, fresh mozz and the whole thing's so damn hot that it burns the roof of your mouth. YES.

Ting:One of my fave salad chains in the States. Love their changing seasonal menus and their locally sourced ingredients.

Noah Weiss:The best salad in Soho that won't cost you $20. Ignore the organic propaganda, just focus on how good it tastes. Guacamole greens, kale caesar, and whatever the monthly special is are great.

Varun Shetty:If Gwyneth Paltrow made you salads, she'd make you these salads. The fall special apple pear pecan salad is great. Earth bowl is solid too

Gee-Wey Yue:Viet coffee (hot) is can’t miss. My favorite amongst places visited in Houston and NYC!

E Alix:YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO

Ray Lin:One of the rare quality banh mis you can find for under $5. Next to the dumplings nearby, the best cheap eats in the area.

Noah Weiss:This is the best falafel sandwich in America. Try all of the balls.

Ray Lin:In a neighborhood where lunches under $10 are hard to come by, a $6.25 breath of fresh air in the form of the excellent, surprisingly-filling falafel sandwich.

PizzaSnobo pizzasnobo.com:Just north of Little Italy, the pies are thin, crisp and delicious.

Kristin Connor:The food is pretty bland and the service is terrible. Our waitress was very rude.

Ryan Williams:Best two tacos: crispy fish, juevos con chorizo

Jorge Ortiz:A "combi" is a Volkswagen Type 2 bus: made in Puebla and ubiquitous in Mexico until the mid-90s. I rode the back of a combi to pre-school every day; now you can watch your tacos made inside one.
