New spots that won’t break ya’…

1. Ippudo Ramen King - Shigemi Kawahara brings super-authentic, super-addictive pork broths to the G.V.
2. Tre - Tweaked Italian amid flickering candlelight. Haute cuisine, trattoria prices.
3. Artichoke Basille’s - Lines out the block for our latest pizza addiction.

This morning as I was lying in bed, Epicurious asked me an interesting question. What’s the longest I’ve ever waited in line for something edible? I usually scoff at the masses perennially lined up outside of Grimaldi’s in DUMBO. It's just pizza, after all. And everyone knows the best time to get a slice at Artichoke is when you’re too drunk to notice its scalding cheese is ravaging the roof of your mouth.
