Pie by the Pound 124 Fourth Ave.
(between 12th and 13th streets)
212.475.4977 piebythepound.com
Riffing on the classic pizzeria, Pie by the Pound doesn’t offer pizza by the slice, instead pile on the pizza and pay by weight. Just a tip: watch that scale, or else you might be spending more than you had hoped.

Pop Pub
83 University Pl. (between 11th and 12th streets)
212.477.7574 popburger.com
This modern establishment serves more than just burgers. Coffee and doughnuts anyone? It also offers a drink list longer than its menu.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a better burger in Manhattan. And while their Shack Burger is great, the real deal (that is if you can handle it) is the Shack Stack, a mouth-watering slice of deep-fried, cheese-filled portobello mushroom on top of a juicy all-beef patty. Grab one of their shakes to wash down all that goodness.

The Smith
55 Third Ave. (between 10th and 11th streets)
212.420.9800 ctrnyc.com/THESMITH
The Smith’s trendy spot that’s great for everything from brunch to a late night drink. The Chicken Sausage + Eggs with cornbread and gravy is a brunch mainstay. And to go with that drink, try the deviled eggs and blue cheese chips for a perfect compliment.

Shake Shack
325 Bowery (corner of Second Street) 646.602.7015 peelsnyc.com
Though Peels offers an all-around great dining experience, what is really special is their build-abiscuit option. Start with their homemade buttermilk biscuit and add anything from scrambled eggs to avocado slices for a hearty brunch option.
Delivery
If you’re a mac and cheese fan like we are, there’s no restaurant in the East Village that will please you as much as S’mac. Portions come in four sizes — Nosh, Major Munch, Mongo and Partay. Toppings range from the classic cheddar to figs and goat cheese (a personal favorite).
