 Spunky octogenarian "grand-mére" Marguerite Bruno is still in the kitchen on weekends, and her influence shows in the resolutely old-fashioned, hearty French fare. Entrées are served out of silver chafing dishes by career waitstaff and the decor tends toward ornate woodwork and... More >> |

 Michael White's temple to Italian seafood is full of pleasures. It's also full of incredibly rich people. To experience Marea on something approaching the cheap, go for one of the pastas, which are the both the best, and most affordable dishes they offer. They're all hand-made, and each piece is...

When the 21 Club opened its doors in 1929, getting a drink was illegal, which would explain the secret wine cellar hidden behind a camouflaged door. Thankfully Prohibition is over and you can now choose from the restaurant?s 1,300 different bottles of wine from around the world. The restaurant... More >> |
