Loooooooved The Rover. The service is amazing and the food is seriously unbelievable. And I don’t know how it isn’t charged at off tap prices - this is a wonderful place for dinner. Obviously get the burger. Dark horse surprise? The eel pate. My mind was blown. So delicious, eat everything.

It’s tucked away (for NYC, that is), so on a recommendation from someone back home in Australia, we sought out Old Town Bar. The atmosphere is great - it’s a really cute venue. We got martinis just because (they were good!), and then I saw the plates of wings and thought why not give it a go? The buffalo wings here are fantastic. Really tasty and reasonably priced. Loved this bar!

I loved Wildair. I was seeking out the best food in the city, and this has appeared on a few lists. It costs a fair bit, but that’s the way of things in NYC. The atmosphere is excellent and the service great. And the food is just outstanding. We sampled a bit of everything, but the standouts for me were the succulent tartare and clams with a kind of oat milk situation (seriously amazing flavour). And the jerk prawn skewers were absolutely perfect. Definitely worth visiting when you’re in NYC!

The food here is authentic, local, and just spectacular. Just tick a whole bunch of stuff you love on the menu and they bring it to you super fast. Outstanding Greek salad and tzatziki. The grilled chicken is ultra tasty, beat dolmades in Greece, try all of the grilled cheeses, and wine is as cheap as it gets. An absolute bargain. Fed six people absolutely full of wine and food for €20. GO HERE!

This is a great place to kick back beside the river - really really nice atmosphere, chill music, great to relax in the afternoon sun before heading out in the city. Middle range pricing on cocktails - give the English Garden a go!
