200 Ninth Avenue between 22nd and 23rd Streets 212/633.8033‎ $104 each for a group of 11, with several bottles of wine ♥ ♥ From Klee’s Web site, I imagined a Meatpacking District type of place where we would be screaming at each other so that we can have a conversation. It’s probably the first restaurant…

401 West 24th Street off Ninth Avenue 212/206.6900 $83 for two, with a lot of drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ Bar Jamon was the last loud and crowded bar I fell in-love with here in New York City. That was more than five years ago. I’ve been to many good bars since then, but only…

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…

205 Tenth Avenue between 22nd and 23rd Streets 212/675.8805 $84 for two people with three drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ If you’re looking for a good tapas place in New York City, Tia Pol is most likely recommended.

227 Tenth Avenue off 23rd Street 212/242.1122 $102 for two, with three beers, without tip ♥ ♥ The red and white wooden paneling didn’t fit the stereotypical Chelsea mold.

229 Ninth Avenue at 24th Street 212/620.5200 about $60 for two, without drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ New York City has some great selection of Chinese food. Unfortunately, it doesn’t include Sichuan, the spicy kind. When I crave the flavor of numbing Sichuan peppers, I go to Grand Sichuan International in Chelsea. They have a…

85 Tenth Avenue on 16th Street212/497-8090$810 for six, with a few drinks, with tip♥ ♥ The latest from the Batali-Bastianich empire, Del Posto’s staircase, marble floors and plush seating all scream money. You walk past the valet (!) through the lobby and it’s like you’re in someone’s mansion outside of New York. Its 18,000-square-foot space…

458 West 17th Street off Tenth Avenue 212/929.8544 about $400 for six plus room fee, with a few drinks, with tip ♥ When I get slow service in a restaurant, I’m usually ticked off, but for some reason I always excuse it when it comes to a Japanese restaurant. Do you do this? They’re so…
