105 Reade Street between Church and Broadway 212/406.1900 about $55 for one, with two drinks, without tip ♥ For a $28 lunch prix fixe, my shellfish crepe with spinach was very satisfying. It included a scallop, small pieces of lobster and crab plus shrimps sandwiched in a soft crepe swimming in crab broth. I would…
-
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…
-
305 Church Street corner of Walker 212/925.1205 $25 for two, with two drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ Update, 2008: Province has closed Oh, mantou, where have you been all these years? Mantou, the steamed bun mainstay of northern Chinese street food stalls is finally in TriBeCa. And I hope it stays because the neighborhood could…
-
110 Waverly Place between MacDougal and Sixth 212/777.0303 about $900 for six, with a lot of drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ For my annual pilgrimage, I was diligent and booked a table exactly thirty days from our dinner date to get a prime spot at 9pm for six people. It was to celebrate…
-
90 Bedford Street on the corner of Grove 212/741.4695 $100 for two, with two drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ We told ourselves we will find another place in the West Village if the wait for a table at The Little Owl was unbearable. Thankfully, we were seated right away when we walked in at…

75 Washington Place between MacDougal and Sixth Avenue 212/539.1776 about $150 for two, with two drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ To welcome autumn, Nabi and I had dinner at Blue Hill in the West Village last night. It’s probably the first restaurant in the city that attempts to be an answer to Chez Panisse with…
-
331 West 4th Street at Jane 212/242.9502 about $45 for two, with a few drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ Possibly the best burgers in New York City besides Le Parker Meridien’s, people wait at Corner Bistro not just for the $2.50 McSorley’s but also for the Bistro Burger, a slab of juicy beef so…
-
314 West 11th Street at Greenwich Street 212/620.0393 about $100 for two, with a few drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Updated, 2007: A second floor space has opened, but I still waited two and a half hours on a Saturday even after I put my name down at 6:45pm It’s no surprise that…
-
435 Hudson Street between Leroy and Morton 212/647.9196 about $125 for two, with two drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ Our Ethan Hawke lookalike waiter at EN Japanese Brasserie seemed nervous, stuttering whenever he had to answer a question; maybe we asked too many questions. The cocktails we ordered as soon as we were seated took…
-
63 Bedford Street on Morton 212/929-3499 about $150 for two, with two drinks, without tip ♥ ♥ I always write about eating at Snack, my favorite Greek spot, so I decided to try its new sister restaurant, Snack Taverna on Bedford. It has a more grown-up menu with some French influences and the ambiance is…

110 Waverly Place between MacDougal and Sixth 212/777.0303 about $200 for two, with a few drinks, with tip ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Our first time at Babbo, we went all out, asked questions about never-heard words written on the menu (braciole! francobolli! scottadita!) and picked out a bottle of red wine to match. I started…
