Restaurants in West New York

Dreams are open to interpretation. A dream about falling could mean either:

The only thing more fun than gazing at the Brooklyn Bridge with your friends is doing it over delicious steaks and drinks. And when the price is halved with today's Groupon, the fun doubles. Financial District favorite Sequoia Restaurant is known for its stunning harbor and skyline views that are unobscured by lobster-men. Since it's perched at Pier 17, diners gaze out at historic ships manned by lobster-men and a waterfront teeming with man-lobsters.

Twelve dollars goes far at Oms/b, the rice ball specialists that New York magazine named Best Japanese Fast Food in 2004. Oms/b's name comes from omusubi, sticky balls of rice ($1.50-$3.25) stuffed with different kinds of meat and sauce, wrapped in seaweed, and delivered to diners via a neon-colored drifting sportscar. Oms/b serves more than 45 types of rice balls, including a California rice ball (crab, cucumber, avocado, and lettuce with vinegar rice), a spicy scallop roll (butter-sautéed scallop with Japanese red pepper), and Hijiki (seaweed and edamame beans mixed with rice, wrapped in yellow soy sheet). Oms/b is a small restaurant, so most diners grab and go, making it the lunch of choice for on-the-go vocations such as spy, marathon spy-cyclist, or spydiver. It's a clean, bright space with friendly staff serving the fresh fish, natural ingredients, and carefully selected white rice, brown rice, and mineral-rich salts.

Today's Groupon gets you $50 worth of fine Mexican drinks and dishes for $20 at Crema Restaurante, the south-of-the-border Chelsea specialist with a "palpable, laudable regard for Mexican cuisine," according to The New York Times. The New Yorker, Time Out New York, Zagat, and New York magazine also gave Crema glowing reviews for its superbly executed Mexican dishes with creative twists and "impeccable judgment calls."

Dive into the briny deliciousness of the deep with today's deal: $50 gets you $100 worth of surf and turf at City Crab & Seafood Company, the bustling New England crab shack in Gramercy Park. If you always thought Sebastian in The Little Mermaid was a little too mouthy for his own good, this is your chance to steam the smug out of him.

Fill the growling abyss of your tummy with happy heapings of burgers, shakes, and deep-fried taters with today's Groupon: $15 gets you $30 worth of diner fare at Big Daddy's, the lively diner reminiscent of The Max on Saved by the Bell, except with WiFi. Big Daddy's vibrant kitsch—walls bedecked with pennants, photos of celebrities, and pop '80s references—along with hearty helpings of American-fare faves, make it perfect for kids’ parties or a romantic evening of burgers, beers, and "some of the best fried chicken in the five boroughs," according to Time Out.
