Rose GM: The borscht is simply perfection here and can serve as a light meal by itself. Also, the infused vodkas are as good as everyone says, cherry being my personal favorite.
Zeb Holt: You must try the horseradish vodka and the blinis with condensed milk and jam. Maybe on two different occasions..,
BoozeMenus: The cutesy décor sets an inviting mood for intimacy and the list of house-infused vodkas and specialty martinis will wow anyone - we recommend a carafe of the horseradish vodka. Read more.

danielle: Assorted Baked Clams, Caesar alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Chicken Scarpariello, Polenta Torrisi (best ever), Funghi Trifolati all amazing! (skip the Crispy Rabe)
Josh B: Grab a Caesar salad, Spicy Rigatoni vodka (add the Meatballs x 3 / order), double lamb chops then Veal parm, and sizzling pancetta. You won't need dessert, but get an espresso and add sambuca
Ben K.: Seriously cool and so delicious. Order the baked clams and table side Caesar. Then lots of pasta; the vodka rigatoni and lobster ravioli are awesome. Sorry but the $64 veal parm is so not worth it.

janelle gunther: the savory vodkas - dill, horseradish, garlic, coriander - are the way to go.
Cat Cat: If you like tea- you must order the tea and stir in the cherry preserves it's AMAZING- especially paired with some of the cranberry infused vodka (my fav).

Sam Brown: Grab 3 friends, everyone choose an option to split on 2 large pizzas and try 1 slice of each flavour. Love Supreme and Vodka.
Charlottes: Cute place, great for family friendly meal. We tried classic, vodka and supreme pizzas, and a rubirosa salad - all delicious. The wine recommendation was spot on too.
Ahmed B: Amazingly crispy pizza bases, coupled with the best tomato (and vodka) sauce ever. Get the tomato, mozzarella and basil pizza to share, with a salad on the side. Sit at the bar for the best vibe.

Charlottes: Love the interior and the cherry shrub was sensational, esp with a good swig of vodka! Latkas and herring also hit the spot.
Luke: You're in New York, so you can get a good bagel or typical brunch any day. Don't mess around. Get as much lox as you can. Get as much herring as you can. Order vodka shots. Go hard or go home
Aleksey: Great brunch place with a focus on fish and caviar. For a classical taste order bagel with lox, and for more adventurous spirits go for Super Heebster. Also herring on bread is great with vodka

Elizabeth Burstein: Had a bite of bradys vodka from uber eats - delicious ! Bit salty though
E D: My favorite pizza here was actually the margarita! I got the big ang which was good but a bit heavy on pecorino, I’ll try the vodka one next time. The angel pie was also a hit at the table
Will Huguenin: Detroit may be my new favorite style of pizza — lighter than Chicago but more substantial than New York. Get the hot chicken pizza!

Asian Restaurant · Tribeca · 231 tips and reviews
Original Penguin: The Macao hybrid menu features fabulous Far East delights like delicious crispy shrimp, Chinese meatballs and their signature Drunken Dragon’s Milk – a coconut and green tea vodka concoction.
Rahul Bijor: Get the pork bun for sure. The dr. funk is good, but has a somewhat strong fennel taste. The dragon's milk is tasty; basically a pina colada with vodka. The downstairs has loud house music bumping.
Chenyu: Try the Drunken Dragon's Milk - Cant get wrong w/ this asia-inspired #cocktail (green tea vodka, Thai basil , coconut milk etc)
