128 East 7th Street between First and Avenue A 212/473.0220 $40 each for two, with drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ I’m always excited to find another Greek restaurant in the city. I was even more thrilled to try Pylos because I walked by its glass wall one night and took a note of it as…

210 East 3rd Street between Avenue B and C 212/614.3080 $158 for 4, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ One of my favorite things about eating with friends? Sharing food. One of my least? Wasting food. So I was taken aback when I read the footnote on the Cafe Cortadito menu that a fee would…

9 Jones Street between West 4th and Bleecker Streets 212/929.6868 $147 for three, with a bottle of wine, without tip ♥ ♥ I’ve watched Top Chef enough to know that the judges sometimes can’t make up their minds between “cooking outside the box” and “sticking with what you know”. You had Carla who finally stuck…

25 West Houston Street between Greene and Mercer 212/219.2113 $196 for two, with five drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ I knew I shouldn’t have ordered the $22 glass of Barolo but the guy behind the bar gave me a taste after I picked the $16 Muraglie and convinced me that it was the better way…

1410 First Avenue between 74th and 75th Streets 212/517.6860 $105 for two, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ I have to be honest with you here: I’m not one hundred per cent sure I was at Tsuki. I’m pretty sure it was Tsuki because it’s one of the restaurants I have noted on my iPhone,…

72 West 36th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues 212/947.3636 $130 for two, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ To celebrate my getting a new job during these harsh economic times, the Dr. took me to Keens Steakhouse for their legendary mutton chops. I think I might have to keep him around for a…
-
243 East 14th Street between Third and Second Avenues 212/253.7670 $222 for four, with drinks, with tip ♥ Update, 2009: My Deathwatch prediction came true after only a month. Oy, I’m putting Mr. Jones Yakitori on a Deathwatch. I don’t know why anyone would open a yakitori restaurant a few blocks away from St. Marks…
-
94 East 7th Street between First and Avenue A 212/982.4140 $130 for two, with drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ I’d like to think that kaiseki is Japan’s answer to Spain’s tapas if only a pincho is served in bejeweled bread held together by a hand-carved toothpick. The most basic types of food need to go…
-
231 West 40th Street between Seventh and Eighth 212/354.2195 $65 for two, with drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ Inakaya is a good place for two kinds of dates: one, an awkward first date when neither have to nervously talk but still have a good time; two, a long-term couple date when almost anything can slip…
-
1 Main Street in DUMBO, Brooklyn 718/222.0666 $45 for two, with a drink, without tip ♥ ♥ We descended on the island of Brooklyn earlier than we would want to be, but Bubby’s was already teeming with young families and baby strollers. We squeezed ourselves past the waiting crowd and told the maitre d’ we…
-
116 East 16th Street between Irving Place and Union Square East 212/254.1600‎ $129 for three, with beers, with tip ♥ Wow, they made a big deal about the burgers here. Don’t get me wrong: they were satisfying, but nothing more incredible than what other places in the city has to offer. It also didn’t make…
-
11 Division Street between Catherine and Market 212/941.6888‎ $35 for two, without drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ We were in Chinatown, in our usual nursing home mood, craving soup and vegetables when I upped the ante: Should we try something new? I don’t know, man. As far as I’m concerned, everything past Bowery is cat…
