24 Minetta Lane off Sixth Avenue $75 each for 3 people, with drinks, with tip 212/933.1824 ♥ ♥ On a steamy Monday night, we were entertained by the Everybody Loves Raymond bartender lookalike at the bar.

240 Central Park South on 59th Street 212/582.5100 $256 for two people, with drinks, without tip wheelchair patron may dine on street level ♥ ♥ ♥ I’m still thinking of those firm, yet pillowy, cicatelli.

45 Tudor City Place off East 43rd Street 212/599.5045 $170 for two people, with drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ While in Colombia, we had a few unfortunate meals that involved pasta.

19 Kenmare Street off Bowery 212/966.1810 about $85 for two, with two glasses of wine, without tip ♥ ♥ Is it always like this? I had to ask the restaurant manager. He gave me a smirk; he knew exactly what I meant. No, this is the weekend. It’s usually more quiet on a weeknight. I…

250 West 41st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues 212/764.7663 if we paid, about $125 for two, with two glasses of wine, without tip ♥ ♥ I was invited by Montenapo to a tasting last week. I jumped at the chance because I think the restaurant scene in the midtown west area could use some…

402 West 43rd Street off Ninth Avenue 212/564-7272 about $190 for two, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ I remember my first time in Esca as if it happened just last week. The $700 bill was split in four, my purse let out a small cry and I hoped that the next time my friends…

136 Division Street between Ludlow and Orchard 212/941.5060 $50 each for five, with two bottles of wine, with tip ♥ I used to know someone who lived on Madison Street in the deep recesses of Chinatown five years ago, but I haven’t been back in the area since then. Before that, Good World on Orchard…

508 Greenwich Street off Spring 212/219-2444 ♥ ♥ Giorgione is a jewel of a place found in the transforming neighborhood of Greenwich Street and the West Side Highway. It reminds me of the delis in Europe where locals eat and drink wine in the middle of the afternoon or leisurely enjoy coffee with a pastry.…
