39-07 Prince Street, Flushing, Queens 718/359.1601 ♥ ♥ ♥ The pain didn’t take effect until five minutes into our meal. When I say pain, I’m talking about our tongues going numb, beads of sweat starting to dot our foreheads, a ringing sensation behind our ears and ooze starting to form in our small noses. All…

38 MacDougal Street off Prince 212/475.7500 $80 for two, with 3 drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ Updated, 2008: Provence will reopen in May as Hundred Acres.

333 Hudson Street corner of Charlton 212/633.9333 $300 for fifteen without drinks, with tip ♥ Update, 2008: Dani is now closed and only available for special events.

265 Lafayette Street, off Prince 917/338.6207 $50 for two, BYOB for now, with tip ♥ ♥ I remember loving Falai when I visited two years ago. A panetteria has opened down the block since then, and now a cafe on the west side. Cafe Falai is BYOB and closes at 8pm while they wait for…

747 Saint Nicholas Avenue between 146th and 147th Streets 212/491.5518 $12 for two fish and chips, take-away ♥ Harlem is far away from England, but Devin’s fish and chips come close to a good snack on a lazy and gloomy weekend afternoon. For $6, you can eat or take away three pieces of lightly breaded…
-
25 Clinton Street between Houston and Stanton 212/253.2900 $180 for four people with three carafes of sake and two beers, without tip ♥ ♥ I didn’t expect to save money during Japanese Restaurant Week.

47 Bond Street between Lafayette and Bowery 212/533.1932 $180 for four people with a bottle of wine, without tip ♥ We wanted to eat at Il Buco ever since we walked by one night and took a peek inside. Candles were lit that made the ambiance romantic and rustic at the same time. We just…

164 West 75th Street on Amsterdam Avenue 212/787.6300 $280 for four people with eight glasses of drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ Ah, the upper west side, you keep surprising me. ‘cesca has been on our list of places to eat for the past year because Cameron lives around the corner. After Telepan, I’m more…

136 West Houston Street off Sullivan 212/228.4181 $150 for three people with six drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ I’m always walking on Houston Street, but I have to admit that I never pay attention to the restaurants on the street. There are a few off Sullivan Street, right before you turn towards Bleecker, but I’ve…
