Eater's list of the most underrated restaurants in New York City. North Square is number 21! (2012)

Apart from the “Washington Square regulars” and “half of NYU”, “no one knows” about this “swell little neighborhood place”, a “favorite” of “grown-ups” who “count on” its “superior”, “value”-priced New American cuisine and “cordial, pro” service; an “easy” vibe – i.e. you “can talk without going hoarse” – seals the deal. (2013)
