Hummus Place
$
MIDDLE EASTERN
Hummus Place is nothing special in the way of ambiance - about eight tables tucked just
below street level, fronting a cramped, open kitchen - but it's got amazing hummus plat-
ters. They're served warm and with various toppings, from whole chickpeas to fava-bean
stew with chopped egg. You'll also find tasty salads, couscous and stuffed grape leaves.
Great value.

Burke & Wills
$$
New in 2013, this ruggedly attractive bistro and bar brings a touch of the outback to the
Upper West Side. The menu leans toward Modern Australian pub grub: juicy kangaroo
burgers with triple-fried chips, grilled prawns, kale cobb salad, merguez sausage sliders,
and roasted cod with cauliflower, dates and pomegranate.
