75 Washington Place between MacDougal and Sixth Avenue 212/539.1776 about $300 for two tasting menus and matching wine, with tip ♥ ♥ The Dr. assured me that he passed his two-day long board exams.

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. There was something tempting, almost lustful, about the magical fruits the goblin-men were selling.…

Third floor of the Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle 212/823.6123 about $75 for brunch for two, with mimosas and coffee, with tip ♥ Baby strollers of different sizes and colors almost blocked the entrance.

Corner of 14th Street and Eighth Avenue no phone number $10 for four tacos and a drink ♥ We had been drinking for several hours when the El Idolo truck caught my eye on the corner of 14th Street and Eighth Avenue. I convinced my tired and drunk friends to cross the street and eat…

In the park on Bleecker and Hudson no phone number $13 for two hotdogs, one asparagus and a drink ♥ Right behind the playground on Hudson and Bleecker and steps away from the long lines outside Magnolia Bakery is a small hotdog stand with an expensive flair called the Dogmatic Gourmet Sausage System. The flair…

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. While the Hamptons-style crowd mingles at Blue Ribbon and at Mas across the street, the laid-back type is inside…
