At Alobar, An LIC Gastropub Contender
Bravo. They put some beautiful stuff in that front window as a long tease pre opening. They pretty much delivered. A dark stained, old timey feel. Does not really go the distance — lacks the all-vintage sourcing and attentively distressed everything look of a place like the gastropub champs. But they do have lots of […]
Corner Bistro. Exciting
The sign is up. The old school banquettes are in. LICNYC spotted some older dude who might have been previously spotted serving up tasty burgers on west 12th street ages ago. All augurs well.

Old-world Italian at Manducatis in Queens
Dining at Manducatis is just like having dinner at Grandma’s house — if your grandma happened to be Ida Cerbone. The chef and her husband, Vincenzo, have owned the Long Island City restaurant for more than 40 years, and it has become a favorite stop for many. “When you sit down to eat, it’s the […]
