The 27 Best Restaurants In The East Village - New York - The Infatuation

"This St. Marks Szechuan restaurant with an original location in Flushing serves dishes that happily numb, like bright and slick mapo tofu and la zi chicken with a shovelful of chiles. In addition to ordering those, we always get the spicy bass with tender fish and an electric-green broth that induces just a little bit of forehead sweat. The place stays extremely busy, but the servers are still attentive. Even if you drop your chopstick, they’ll replace it within 30 seconds." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang, neha talreja
