2394 Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard on 140th Street 212/281.1477 $10 for one, without drinks, with tip ♥ It was counter-productive to bike eight miles in Central Park and only end up eating the calories I lost, but I was famished and Harlem Wing & Waffle called my name. I have no idea who thought of…

81 Broadway between Wythe and Berry Streets in Williamsburg, Brooklyn 718/384.1441 about $96 for two people, without drinks, with tip ♥ No paying customer should have to wait an hour and a half to be seated at any restaurant.

200 Ninth Avenue between 22nd and 23rd Streets 212/633.8033‎ $104 each for a group of 11, with several bottles of wine ♥ ♥ From Klee’s Web site, I imagined a Meatpacking District type of place where we would be screaming at each other so that we can have a conversation.

9 Jones Street between West 4th and Bleecker Streets 212/929.6868 $147 for three, with a bottle of wine, without tip ♥ ♥ I’ve watched Top Chef enough to know that the judges sometimes can’t make up their minds between “cooking outside the box” and “sticking with what you know”. You had Carla who finally stuck…

1 Main Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn 718/222.0666 $45 for two, with a drink, without tip ♥ ♥ We descended on the island of Brooklyn earlier than we would want to be, but Bubby’s was already teeming with young families and baby strollers.
