That\u2019s why the newer Russ &amp; Daughters Caf\u00e9 gets its place on this list.<\/p>\n<p>Complete with a bar, booths and tables, this beautifully designed caf\u00e9 feels like you\u2019ve walked into a New York time capsule \u2013 minus the kitsch. The food is clearly delicious, but so is the branding, packaging and interior styling.<\/p>\n<p>But what to eat? As a first-timer, you may to opt for the potato latkes or matzo ball soup, followed by \u201cThe Classic\u201d bagel board with smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, onion and capers. As a second-timer, you could try a different combination and tack on a smoked pepper-infused Bloody Mary \u2013 go crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Herring fanatics will be thrilled to find an entire section of the menu dedicated to the slimy snacks. And the same can be said for caviar lovers with <em>very <\/em>deep pockets.

They\u2019re not incredible, unlike the sesame pancake sandwiches, but for sheer value alone, they make Vanessa\u2019s an essential Lower East Side eatery.<\/p>\n<p>You can get away with four fried dumplings for $1.50, while the pancake sandwiches (get one with Peking duck) start from $1.00. You can also grab three fried pork buns for a whopping $1.50, while soups and side orders rarely exceed $5.00.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re low on cash, craving some good Chinese food, or simply looking for a classic New York eating experience, Vanessa\u2019s Dumpling House is the place to go.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Speedy Romeo<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_25711\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pizza-800.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25711\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pizza-800.jpg\" alt=\"New York neon pizza sign\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pizza-800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pizza-800-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pizza-800-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pizza-800-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-25711\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gregory James Van Raalte\/Shutterstock<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This wouldn\u2019t be a proper New York eating guide without a pizza restaurant \u2013 and Speedy Romeo doesn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>Walking into the LES joint (the original is in Clinton Hill), you\u2019ll quickly realise it\u2019s not your run-of-the-mill pizza place. It doesn\u2019t have the \u201chole-in-the-wall\u201d vibes, nor does it serve up outrageously big slices reminiscent of Joe\u2019s Pizza or Artichoke Basille\u2019s. Nevertheless, it\u2019s essential eating for one main reason \u2013 it\u2019s really, really yum.<\/p>\n<p>Every pizza on the menu is cooked in a wood-burning oven and grill. The \u201cSt. Louie\u201d is a must-try, combining Italian sausage, pepperoni, pickled chillies, and the real kicker, Provel cheese \u2013 a staple of St. Louie cuisine. Pizza aside, the grilled octopus and kale apple salad are both impressive, as is the local craft beer, creative cocktails, and Italian wine.<\/p>\n<p>Speedy Romeo feels like a deluxe dive bar that serves deluxe pizza.

The menu serves up quintessential dishes, such as fried chicken and waffles, and mac and cheese. It also branches out into more inventive territory with crab cake sliders, pork belly nuggets, braised short ribs, and a solid collection of cocktails and local beers.<\/p>\n<p>From the food to the atmosphere to the relaxed service, everything is unassumingly satisfying at Sweet Chick.
