This is one of the first underground bars the New York Friday Lunch Club sampled in the city. The menus are all Russian inspired and we hasten to add the house infused liquor and the Martinis get a big thumbs up.

In amongst the fabulousness of shopping heaven sits Bar Bossa. This is Little Brazil in the heart of Nolita. The cuisine is South American inspired, the cocktails are heaven sent and the feel is mellow.

It's a simple equation, a good wood fired oven pizza and a good vibe. Remember where this one is 'cause you'll want to come back.

A slice of chic on the east side. Perfect for coffee with a friend, a business lunch and of course pre dinner or post shopping cocktails. Just all around perfect, Mmwah.

It masquerades as a street taqueria in a trailer with windows and lots of neon, but who knows what lies beneath the café and take out joint? If you have a reservation and make it past the café you will arguably discover the best Mexican underground NY has to offer.
