#SOMEEats: @r40lic is an innovative argentinian restaurant open kitchen equipped with a custom parrilla, a seasonal backyard oasis 🛖and locally sourced food prepared with intention. At r40 we embrace our love for hospitality through community, culture, and creativity. I linked up with OG Ace Hotel NYC’rs @moonfrankenstein and visiting @babyxg1113 at @g_noeazy restaurant. We all were working there in the early 2010s: Mon and Jen as front desk agents and Gio co-bellman. Lovely to see how good time has been to all of us and reunions.

#SOMEEats: Wild Maine Blueberry Pancakes with Warm Maple Butter and Spanish Scramble #foodporn #nyc #manhattan #lowereastside #les #breakfast This cute diner-like restaurant on the corner of popular thoroughfare of East Houston and Clinton in the Lower East Side shines around its neighbors, but that was all. The menu is visible in the following swipes. The prices high for low food. I assume the rent has been On a continual increase every year as New York landlords do, resulting in the prices. This is my first time here after having heard whispers throughout the years. The service was pristine and prompt. Onto the food, I selected the first one as it seemed to be the signature. The portion was reasonable, but kind of flavorless. The highlight was the strawberry preserves on the table alongside the warm maple butter. The Spanish scramble was heavy in cheese, but light in the usual salty cheesiness. The highlight in this was the sourdough toast and hash browns. The wrapped square slabs of butter that came out were refridgerated and came out chilled making me have to wait in order to use and opt for the preserves. The Orange nice was fresh squeezed tasting, but $5! One family of four near me made for the exit as soon as they gave the menu a couple minutes to glance. My cash-only establishment total with tip was $45, for orange juice,scramble, and pancakes. My first and last time here #swipeleft (at Clinton Street Baking Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TAqlOli3I/?igshid=l6b0e9gxccyg

#SOMEEats: Kale Caesar Salad. Wood-roasted garlic bread. Fried Calamari with Spicy Tomato sauce. Spaghetti Limone. Ravioli ricotta di bufala. Pappardelle with lamb ragu. #foodporn #pasta #italian #eastvillage #nyc #manhattan Me and Tron(see tagged name in photo), and #noigbritta went here on a suggestion from Lucas(see tagged). I had known of this place, but not been before. We got here before dinner rush and barely had to wait. We were offered a half hour wait or the window counter(“we aint waiting no fucking half hour” - me) it took a moment to order as the place was busy on a Saturday night. We went with a few starters, and 3 pasta dishes, all to share. The dishes were pretty filling and flavorful. The best was the spaghetti Limone, as simple as it was with the lemon, parmigiano reggiano, and butter. Sometimes simple is best. The worse? The wood roasted garlic bread; honestly burnt sides(probably intentional) and not fully edible. The atmosphere was great as we had a view of the street to people watch alongside the snobbery of various surrounding diners. Thanks for the experience. Our total at this establishment was 156 after tip. #swipeleft (at Lil' Frankie's) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uKq38FgfG/?igshid=17dywn67qzdlp

#SOMEEats: Emily Burger 🍔 #foodporn #burger #nyc #brooklyn #clintonhill At a place nicknamed Pizza<3Emily that is Pizza-based, the one item to try as the destination signature item is the nightly limited Namesake Emily Burger. A Pat LaFrieda meat dry aged beef patty with Tom Cat pretzel bun, EMMY sauce(mayo+gochujang-based sawce🌶), caamelized onions, Grafton cheddar, cornichon, and crispy thin fries. A handful, a mouthful, and overflowing was this messy burger. Get it with Abita or any other drink of choice. My total with drunk and tip left my pocket 40 bones lighter #swipeleft (at Emily) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1LomQ4FQ2w/?igshid=sf10hrm3b855

#SOMEEats: Combination Plates #nyc #williamsburg #brooklyn #chinese #fastcasual #foodporn #lazysius #eaternyc A small hole in the wall with a variety of options and affordability in fast casual dining. Open from 5:30-10(hours may change) this place has a 2 booth and multiple single seats interior, with great delivery or takeout options. The drinks are $3ea, sweet and flavorful, and heat sealed with paper straws. Those are the Passion Lemonade, Purple Punch, and a Hibiscus Tea(also available is cold brew on tap). The core of the menu here is a triple selection plate alongside various side options. The combination plate is pretty reasonably sized in portion that you’ll be full. I’ve been here a few times and tried to try many of the core. I’ve had the signature char-siu pork belly(must have with the golden pepper sauce) and spare ribs, alongside the fried rice(pork+Chinese sausage or tofu) and noodles(a lilttle on the oily side), and the long beans(spicy) or Chinese broccoli(shallot topped). I had a few sides which were the glazed chicken wings and the skewered shrimp. See the online menu for the side details. The combination plates were a great price and value every time. The sides are wonderful as well, the wings are twice fried then sautéed so crispy outside. The shrimps was pretty sweet. I was unable to try the lone dessert coconut rice pudding option as I was stuffed. The TV had 90s classics playing while the server Face was the was literally the face of the restaurant presently alongside chef Sean Scotese and another chef in back. #swipeleft (at Lazy Siu's) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tv-kBlQ2i/?igshid=15nnoo6bquu7b

#SOMEEats: Carrot Top dip swirl #foodporn #nyc #williamsburg #williamvale #brooklyn #food #icecream Carrot cake coconut cream cheese swirl with cinnamon strudel dip soft serve. The cone holder was 🔥 to catch any drips and keep shape. The little top garnish was actually a baby carrot. 🤤. I didn’t try any of the other menu items as I felt pressed for some time. The area that housed this food truck is a raised area just below the William Vale inanpark ares inside a Streamliner trailer. #swipeleft (at Mister Dips) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Zow11FyFa/?igshid=sb8di31o9gja

#SOMEEats: Choya Yowanai Ume Soda. Hokkaido Uni. Unaju. #eel #unaginyc #soho #nyc #manhattan #foodporn #japan #nolita This small place serves fresh imported eel daily all the time. The imported soda was fire which is kind of like a plum or apricot flavoring. The uni was from the Hokkaido Japan. The eel is freshly delivered weekly and can be seen swimming around in-store. The eel are served Kabayaki style over short grain rice; which is deboned and gutted, cut into filets, skewered, then dipped into a sweet soy-based sauce, and then grilled over Japanese charcoal all in front of you. It’s like they packaged a part of Japan and shipped it over. The Unaju(Kabayaki unagi over rice in a traditional lacquered box is served with a side of miso soup and pickles. Opening up earlier this year, this place is tucked next to Xian foods and Ramenlab on Kenmare street. My total was 100 after tax+tip so it’s relatively pricey. #swipeleft (at Unagi NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0J6eyXFp2y/?igshid=zdjrrlqj89yd

#SOMEEats: Provençal Half Chicken with Beurre Blanc sauce, French-style Macaroni+Cheese, and Coke. #foodporn #chicken #nyc #soho #westvillage #manhattan This French on-site rotisserie spot serves Provençal seasoned chicken. They serve 24-hour marinated chicken in their homemade brine (Fresh Thyme, Rosemary, Lavander, Guerande salt) that is gluten free, dairy free, nuts free. All of the locally sourced chicken is free of antibiotics, artificial additives or hormones, human raised, and veggie fed. The chicken was juicy and not dry like many places while flavorful. The butter and white wine sauce was fire with the chicken. The Mac and cheese was great because it wasn’t heavy like the American equivalent using American cheese and using lighter cheeses like Gruyere I believe. The Coke on hand was plastic bottled, ideally I would have preferred the glass equivalent. The service was quick on this day as it was in the afternoon and there was ample outdoor seating along with an open front. I think my total was like $28 after with the tip. #swipeleft (at Cocu) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzoPR7blyzj/?igshid=1u1zxk4tgiu9e
