four people need to eat a yummy meal right by the Met around 6 pm/6:15 if we're going to make it to the opera on time
Cafe Luxembourg can't seat us, they are booked
we currently have a reservation at a nearby place (Arpeggio) but I have heard that it is meh and I'm hoping that y'all can recommend something a little better- anybody wanna make a suggestion?
where do we go?
help me ILX you're my only hope

I was also thinking maybe Blue Hill if pricey is ok? Although I felt weirdly uncomfortable in the NYC one, like there was a very subtle snobbery to the place.

i dont really know anything up where that is, drew. salumeria rosi? ive never been but a friend likes it
― max, Friday, 26 October 2012 22:13 (eleven years ago) link
ive had 1 amazing and 1 okay meal at blue hill. its a solid price range above otto & usc though isnt it?
― max, Friday, 26 October 2012 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
blue hill is pricey and the farm/table thing though unique can be underwhelming but worth experiencing at least once
tune was space - Gabriel's on 60th may be out of the way but it's v dependable hearty tuscan fare. slighty $$ w/some great mid-priced wines

Hey, did you try that blue drink, the one that glows like nuclear waste? The watermelon margarita? Any idea why it tastes like some combination of radiator fluid and formaldehyde?
Is this how you roll in Flavor Town?
― dmr, Wednesday, 14 November 2012 15:43 (eleven years ago) link
curious how many restaurants have ever been rated POOR in the Times. lower than zero stars. has to be a pretty short list, most places that shitty probably aren't notable enough to warrant a review.

Also I feel like DFW set the gold standard for snarky reviews of bloated, overpriced american attractions, and this is pretty weak in comparison. I like Wells a little better when he takes down silly 1%er restaurants like Eleven Madison Park, because at least that's something that doesn't get done that often.

hey guys is "Daniel" any good?
― ^ sarcasm (ken c), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 15:53 (ten years ago) link
I have to say, I was disappointed. The only other restaurant of that "caliber" I've been to was Jean Georges which was amazing. We found Daniel kind of stuffy, like it was aimed at a more old-fashioned moneyed manhattan set and the food just didn't blow us away the way Jean Georges did.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 16:04 (ten years ago) link
damn. going to have a look at jean georges too - hoping to book somewhere nice for a birthday. really wanted to try 11 madison park but that's booked out :(
― ^ sarcasm (ken c), Tuesday, 8 October 2013 16:10 (ten years ago) link
Jean Georges does a prix fixe lunch that's great and it think easier to get a seat.
― dan selzer, Tuesday, 8 October 2013 16:40 (ten years ago) link
Tried the highly regarded Rye in Williamsburg this weekend. Feeling very bored of these new classic american type places -- very nice atmosphere but the food just relies on fatty, salty and sweet with not much else interesting going on. Everything was so rich and heavy that I couldn't finish.

I've never eaten at the legendary Cafe Edison in Times Square, aka the Polish Tea Room, which is being evicted. Genuinely funny Yelp pans tho.

this woman looked at our table like we were a NAMBLA convention and proceeded to gargle "YOU ORDER!" at each of us.
I'm a vegan and I asked if the veggie burger had egg. She said, and I quote "I don't know what is in it. We are not one of those place where we know what is in the food."

Ok someone give me a few money-be-damned recommendations for a 10th wedding anniversary dinner. Would consider going a little outside the city too (e.g. I'm considering Blue Hill Stone Barns but we've been there before)
