 Though this authentic tonkatsu-ya has branched out in the last couple of years into other corners of the Japanese fried-food demimonde, you're crazy to order anything not made with one of their imported-from-Virginia pork cutlets, either fatty or lean. Save room for the pumpkin custard. More >> |

 Ever crunched on a chicken sternum before? Not bad, especially when grilled over bamboo charcoal. And breast bone is only one of the gnawable yakitori oddities available at Soba Totto, which also include gizzards, necks, hearts, skin, and the inscrutable "chicken oyster" –– you’ll... More >> |

 Finally, a fit competitor for Kuruma Sushi (7 East 47th Street, 317-2802). Sushi Yasuda is all blond woods, accented by a single twig of pink orchids and the green banana leaves on which the glistening sushi and sashimi are deposited. Contrary to form, the sushi's also great at the tables, and... More >> |

 You have to go upscale for the city's best Basque food, alas. Catering to patrons from the U.N., Alcala is an informal space decorated with pleasant but undistinguished color photos of Spain. The food, however, leaves a powerful impression, especially chiparones—baby squid coated with a... More >> |

One reviewer referred to the vibe in this after-work joint as "conquest minded." Well put. Tucked inside the Met Life Building, Cafe Centro, Beer Bar is perhaps not aptly named (you'd better be sipping at least a Black Label if you want attention from the cutie who's about to hop a train from...

 Think of Bi Lokma as a weekday lunch hub or a cozy corner for chow just like babaanne--er, granny--used to make.

 Maybe it should be called Burger Highway, or Burger Heathen, or Burger Hubbub. The burgers are good enough, but the real draw to this mini-chain, which has sprawled only within Midtown (but sprawled nevertheless) is that it's dependably quick. See website for additional locations. More >> |
