199 Prince Street between MacDougal and Sullivan 212/375.8275 $150 for three, with four drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ I’m pretty sure that when the poet Christina Rossetti wrote Goblin Market, she didn’t imagine a restaurant team to be inspired by it.

29 Bedford Street corner of Downing 212/633.0202 about $100 for 5 people, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ It’s appropriate that Landmarc’s owners named Ditch Plains after the famous stretch of beach in Montauk, Long Island.
