6 Bond Street between Broadway and Lafayette 212/777.2500 $155 for two, with four drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ Several years ago, you would have caught a glimpse of Leonardo DiCaprio dining at Bond St. Today, the bouncer in all-black suit is still standing outside and all the beautiful people are still inside, but instead of…

We ordered one with a bowl of lamb curry…

91 First Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets 212/614.9333 $60 for two, BYOB, without tip ♥ Because it’s the only Sri Lankan restaurant in Manhattan, Sigiri is a gem. It’s on the same block as the East 6th Indian restaurants, so if you blink–or if the red lights make you squint–you might just miss it.…

Miss Geolouxy volunteered her services to accompany me for my second search for a good taco. It was after work so we decided to meet at Astor Place and work our way up and down First and Second Avenues from 1st to 10th Streets. I didn’t bring a list of places since the east side…

63 Cooper Square on 3rd Avenue 212/228.4152 $30 for two, with two drinks, without tip ♥ Astor Place is filled with restaurants serving Japanese comfort food. I go to Menkuitei for their grilled fish neck. Their ramen selection is good, too, plus you’ll deal with less of a crowd here. The house special is one…

231 Mott Street off Prince212/966.6310about $80 for two, with two drinks, without tip In Tent is such a hokey name for a restaurant but the main dining room indeed has a removable tent made of rust-colored silk fabric because zoning regulations do not allow a permanent roof to cover a garden (vacated by Bot Restaurant).…

9 St. Marks Place between 2nd and 3rd Avenues212/228.5086about $50 for two, with two drinks, with tip Yakitori Taisho is one of those Japanese places on St. Marks that you end up going to after drinking all night because they’re open until after midnight.

For my first search for a good taco, I decided to stay on Amsterdam Avenue and the upper west side, specifically from 100th to 145th Streets. I started on 100th mainly because I wanted to hit a favorite spot on 108th but also because I wanted to end up at Jesus’ Tacos near my apartment,…

39-07 Prince Street, Flushing, Queens718/886.6331$45 for three, with two drinks, without tip A stopover in Flushing after picking up my father from the airport proved to be worth the trip for less than $45. We’re big fans of the roti canai. I suppose roti canais are all the same but we really liked Sentosa’s version…
