Heading to Manhattan for two nights - where to eat?

There must be some DL gourmands here. And no, I am not considering the Times Sq Olive Garden.

Considering - Le Veau'd Or, Cosme, Cecchi's, Don Angie, maybe Le Rock. Help, DL!

I loved the old Le Veau D’or and went frequently when I worked nearby. We haven’t been since it re-opened, but we might try to go in December. I’ve never been to any of the others on your list.

Quality Bistro is fun.

And Sammy’s is an experience. (But also haven’t been since it re-opened)

Columbus Avenue on the UWS used to have some nice places when I lived there 20 years ago. Does Isabella's still exist?

Go to Gem Spa - get the egg cream!

Most restaurants in New York are very good, they couldn't stay open otherwise. The magic of New York, like any great city, is serendipity, being open to the energy and just letting what will happen happen and going with it. Food is easy, you should be asking where can I find great live music.

You’ll never get a table at Don Angie

by Anonymousreply 9November 22, 2024 10:50 AM

Op—clearly you’re not going to get answers on that level of restaurants….give up now.

Gem Spa is long gone, r7.... :(

Does anyone remember DOJO

Sadly, I know R11 - I was just being nostalgic.

Meet you at Yaffa Cafe!

Don Angie was disappointing for me. I'm not a huge fennel fan and it was in a lot of dishes. Plus it was a just a little too precious for me.

Interesting theory.

What if OP wanders into one of the bad ones that hasn’t closed yet?

To me New York is all about casual dining. Desperately searching for a bench to sit on to rest one's weary feet. The few sit down restaurants I went to didn't impress. L'Industrie pizza, Joe's Pizza, Los Tacos No. 1, Wah Fung for roast pork or New Kim Truong if it's closed.

R17 what do recommend at Los Tacos No 1? I’ve never gone, but it always has a line out the door.

r18 I got tacos of every meat. The adobada stood out I recall.

OP's going to be in NY for only 2 nights. "Serendipity" might not happen.

Why don't you give a recommendation on live music or even one restaurant?

The McDonalds in New York have tablecloths and serve wine. No reservations required.

Semma for Indian food. Or Bungalow.

Hmmm op I see that Bad Roman is from the same people as don Angie. We are going there tomorrow.

There's a Fridays in Penn Station. It's got over 3 stars on Yelp. It's not too far from the Port Authority bus terminal.

Manhattan, Illinois? Manhattan, Kansas? No one really knows! Many people say she comes through late at night…

Summa is so dead—you can walk right in anytime and get a table for 4 🙄

No one cares at this point.

Go to RedFarm and get the duck.
