This gem on 10th Avenue serves up authentic Ethiopian food and a vibrant atmosphere to match. Served family style, the dishes offer new conquests for the adventurous eater and safer choices for those more wary of eating a fish with the head still on it. Be forewarned (or get excited) that your food will be spicy.

Restaurant, Bar, American, Vegetarian, $$$

Island Burgers and Shakes may seem like your run-of-the-mill burger place. However, try anything from the spicy Pop & Top’s – a burger topped with Thai sauce, jalapeno and roasted peppers – to the milder Route 66 burger with avocado, blue cheese and bacon, and you’ll know that this place is anything but standard. With plenty of innovative and delicious burger combinations to choose from, an equally varied salad menu and expertly-made milkshakes, Island Burgers and Shakes is a must-try in Hell’s Kitchen.

Alfie’s menu highlights include gourmet burgers, fish & chips, fried pickles and Lobster ‘PLT.’ The food alone is enough to merit a recommendation but what sets Alfie’s apart is the hospitable neighborhood bar environment and beer list.
