    I just went - pasta was very much on point. Agree that Rome was better, but still top notch

    going to a matinee at hudson theater in december then taking a couple people to an early dinner

    last time we went to keens and it was killer. contemplated quality meats but its more north. thinking minetta tavern or gramercy tavern. can't bring myself to do hawksmoor in the us.

    any opinions much appreciated, just looking for old school american fare between hudson theater and where we're staying in little italy.

    Just had the red hook tavern burger for the first time. Thank you to anyone here who recommended the martini. Best I’ve ever had.

    The burger was great as well.

    I went to Hawksmoor recently with my Dad and enjoyed it, but I’m not sure I would go back if I’m paying.

    I’ll throw out Estela and Blue Ribbon Brasserie as places that I really enjoy that might fit the bill.

    Estela looks the best of all the much appreciated recs but it's probably 10 percent too adventurous for this crowd.

    Might do it for dinner another night

    36 hours in NYC this weekend with no wife or kids. Will be staying in midtown on Friday night, coming from a work trip in downtown on Thursday/Friday and will have all afternoon Friday and all day Saturday. I’ve been to NYC probably 10 or so times so I’ve hit most of the tourist stuff (I think) but what else do you recommend? Plan to visit City Island as one item

    Heading to Keen’s for an early dinner before the Rangers game tonight. I haven’t been there in quite awhile.

    Any recommendations of must order dishes?

    martini was solid, didn’t compare to red hook tavern.

    started with the bacon which was very good.

    split the burger and the mutton chop, both were fantastic. had the creamed spinach which was also awesome.

    Rangers won to cap off the night.

    Didn't know when reservations opened but checked 5 minutes after midnight est

    Place is already mostly booked in five minutes. Insanity for this type of spot. NY really is back back

    People are using bots to book the reservations and then reselling them for hundreds of bucks. Pretty fucked up

    Le Rock and quality bistro supposed to be good but I can't personally vouch. Adels halal cart supposed to be killer right by there too.

    Adele’s is supposed to be great but line is always 100+ people long. Los Tacos No 1 is solid fast casual. Are you looking for anything particular? High-end steak house? Italian? Asian? You’re not far from some good albeit expensive spots.

    Italian and Asian would be good, not steakhouses. Expensive is fine expected in NYC
