"Piggyback opened in early 2020, and has managed to hang on and even swell in popularity in the interim. Chef Leah Cohen, who’s also behind Lower East Side Pig & Khao, uses Piggyback as her place to play with a variety of Southeast Asian fare — fried pho, lemongrass branzino, a wonton mee loaded with noodles and braised pork belly, and a lamb rendang, things often absent from the downtown menu. There’s a comfortable bar handy to the transportation hub, if you just want a mixed drink." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
