Fodor's Expert Review Heidi's House by the Side of the Road

$$ Upper East Side American Fodor's Choice

Roughly the size of a studio apartment, this homey bar and restaurant is the epitome of a neighborhood spot; just keep in mind that reservations aren't accepted. The short menu of comfort foods—hamburgers, a pasta, macaroni and cheese—changes frequently, but the lobster macaroni and cheese never fails to impress. With only one table for four people, Heidi's House is better suited to smaller parties. Reservations aren't accepted for this often-crowded spot, but it does have a charming little bar next door where you can have a drink while you wait for a table and a same-day call-ahead list starting after 5 pm.
