Local 92

We're a neighborhood joint. Come hang out! We serve fresh, locally sourced dishes. Love the farmers market and New York breweries and vineyards. We support the community. Extra food goes to those in need, and we regularly lend a hand (and our hearts) at a nearby animal shelter...

The food and service was outstanding! Drinks were strong, service was excellent, and the food was outstanding with great prices. The chef Miro was a great guy! My group was happy & we will be back!

Jwow

Delicious Mediterranean and Israeli food ! The roasted cauliflower special with eggplant was out of this world, two of my favorite veggies , cauliflower and eggplant !

Andrew C

what an amazing restaurant with delicious Mediterranean flavours - homemade hummus , fresh falafel , and so much more authentic wonderful foods!!! plus plenty of Israeli wines/beers

Elvis Rodricks

This is a good spot for fresh signature middle Eastern dishes- babaganoush (whole here), falafel and hummus . After the falafel here, got me thinking which of the 2 passionate people own the dish ;)

Michael Jacobson

Get the Shakshuka (spicy tomato , onion , Chile peppers topped with egg ) with eggplant . It comes with delicious home made Challah . Better than Momeleh makes, I promise.

Neha Jambhekar

So delicious and so affordable ! The pita they give you is actually crispy . And they have decor made of kitchen utensils. Definitely go check it out.

Elisa

Shared apps (grape leaves , hummus bobaganoush, meatballs , shakshuka ) with a group and had a risotto main. The dishes were overly salty. severely understaffed during weekday lunch so prepare to wait

Alexa Hodgin

Mondays- a carafe of wine is only $20 and MORE than enough for two people to start the week off properly. Also, get the sangria . It's strong and delicious.

melissa Hochman

Chicken hummus , eggplant pan, little sumthin beer , great live music and a bartender who doles out "palate cleansing" shots between courses----perfection

Joe nevins

Exciting new Mediterranean restaurant with a focus on local ingredients and a diverse selection. A refreshing addition to the area!

Cindy Anna Rodriguez

Amazing new concept! Very friendly and sexy vibe! Perfect for date or even to have a bite alone at the bar !

Serious Eats

Solid Middle Eastern mezze with very good shakshuka and excellent hummus .

Carol

Delicious hummus and wine . Great for dates or end of the day wind down hangout

Alissa Rotberg

Hummus is the most delicious I've had in almost ever

Alexandra Jenkins

Nothing was super great here. The Middle Eastern food was bland, but the burger was just kinda weird. However the drinks are good and the staff is so polite and fun! I'd come here to drink, not eat.

Tom M.

Excellent hummus and pita bread--very very good!

Sara 🌈⚔🍾

Delicious Mediterranean food and cocktails , especially the sangria .

Ilan Eframian

Lamb Shank "special' was so good everyone else had food envy!

melanie kwong

Hummus is amazing.

Elizabeth Pace

Mushroom hummus was delicious as was the cauliflower appetizer .

Miguel Asse

The hummus bowls are amazing, as is the pita bread !

Sumit Satarkar

Shakshuka with eggplant and halumi. And goat cheese burrito .

Kevin Lippert

Pleasant sidewalk dining (as nice as can be expected on Second Avenue!)

Leigh Gerson

Hey--maybe when people pay cash, you should ask if they need change? And learn how to make a drink when you charge $12 for a cocktail ?

Gabs S

Holy drinks. Order a marg if you feel like forgetting everything.

Seema

Hummus is amazing made fresh every two hours!

Sanjeev Sreetharan

this place is phenomenal if you're okay with spending $12 for hummus and pita

Shai Zvibak

Excellent food and drinks !!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Jessica Coleman

Don't get the tuna bites special, they cost more than your firstborn. But the hummus trio is a solid choice.

Valentina Monte

Grilled spring chicken and mushroom hummus was YUMMMM

Jack Gashi

Israeli tapas , basically. I kinda like it; better than the 7 rating.

Chloe Becquet

Food is always great here. Small portions for the price tho

Kevin Chiu

Cocktails were super sweet 👎

Morgan Spicer

The hummus was amazing. Everything else was just okay. Assorted pickles means assorted pickled vegetables , not pickles-- and it was NOT good!

Nina Winsløw Raaschou

Very good goat cheese tortilla !

Shai Zvibak

Excellent food check out this place

Elizabeth Burstein

Had avo toast , was a small app. Place is ok

Nick Andlinger

Avoid. Only came in because frank and mermaid inn were packed. Basically everything was overpriced and cooked incorrectly. Will not be back.

Kate L

Delicious but not good for groups ! Very small space.

Gagan Rana

Awesome music on the Friday we went.

Dustin Lee

good happy hour

Brook Frazier

Nicest servers that ever existed

Nothing really tanks out here, neither the humus , nor falafel , no the salads . Good beer selection ...

Kelly G

Wow this place was just all around horrible.

Irina

Hosts were nice but the wait for food was terribly long.
