Small restaurant with creative French-Canadian dishes. Great wine selection and a unique twist on classics like roast chicken and caesar salad.
If you can get a reservation for brunch, make sure to go early enough so you can get their ricotta pancakes before they run out.

Some of the best wood-fired pizza in NY set in a dark, rustic restaurant. They don't take reservations, so be prepared to wait (but don't worry there's great bars near by to grab a cocktail while you wait).
You can't go wrong with any of the pizzas, but my personal favorite is Hellboy with Mike's hot honey.
If you can't make it in for dinner (or even if you can) they also have a slice shop around the corner for a quick lunch or if you feel like ordering in.
