FOOD & DRINK
YUKA SUSHI
1557 2nd Ave - New York - 212-772-9675
This small but busy restaurant is for sushi lovers on a budget who appreciate an all-you-can-eat sushi deal. Don't be shy, but keep in mind, whatever you don't finish you pay for. The list of offerings is heavy on the usual suspects, including tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, and eel. You'll also see a few offbeat numbers like scallops and mackerel. However, after several visits and watching the chefs and other diners, I realized that ordering ala carte is the way to go. You still get unbelievably fresh fish, but larger and choicer cuts. And the cost- nearly the same, but you are more satisfied at the end of the meal. The chefs are friendly and the staff are very attentive, even when busy, which is always the case after 7 PM. For great Sushi at a great price, Yuka beats all the other Sushi restaurants in New York.
ITALIANISSIMO RISTORANTE
307 E 84th Street - New York City - 212-628-8603
If you want real Italian food that is really good, go here. The food, the service and the ambiance- all superb! Without a doubt, it will be one of the finest dinners you'll ever have. Definitely the best Italian on the Upper East Side, and one of the best in the City!
KENNEDY'S
327 W 57th Street -New York - 212-759-4242
There are hundreds, if not thousands of Irish Pubs in New York City, but this is the one to come to when in the City. You'll feel right at home with the smiles, the service and great pub food, such as Fish & Chips and Bangers & Mash. Have a pint of Guiness or Harps, or have Dennis make you a cold cocktail, sit back and watch the city go by. Delightful!
IL CORTILE
125 Mulberry Street - Little Italy - New York - 212-226-6060
I consider this restaurant the best Italian in Little Italy. You are a stranger only once. After that, welcome home. Fantastic food, tremendous wine list, and the ambience of old Italy. "As good as little Italy gets... excellent Northern Italian Cuisine in a beautiful skylit dining room..."
WO HOP
17 Mott Street - New York - 212-267-2536
This is the best chinese restaurant in the world. And you'll be suprised how many other New Yorkers know about it-and visit frequently. Make sure you go downstairs, though. There is always a line to get in, but this place is well worth the wait. The decor leaves a lot to be desired, but the food is unbelievable! Try the hot and sour soup, and you will never look at hot and sour soup the same again
ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY SEA
17 Barrow Street - New York - 212-228-0822
Continental cuisine served in a beautifully restored 18th-century landmark carriage house and stable formerly owned by Aaron Burr. Cozy, ambiance and Greenwich Village charm-complete with four fireplaces, a verdant view from the garden room, candlelight and fresh flowers at every table- it offers the most romantic setting in New York for dinner. A pianist plays love songs and classical favorites. And- Jacket Required!
PETER LUGER STEAK HOUSE
178 Broadway - Brooklyn - 718-387-7400
This institution’s legions of fans attest that there is no better meat to be found anywhere in the world. The dry-aged steaks are slabs to salivate over, and are always broiled to juicy perfection. A limousine and Long Island crowd inhabit the turn-of-the-century dining rooms that are done in German beer hall fashion: stamped tin ceiling and white plaster walls with dark trim. Nothing’s been updated -- but why should it be? It works. Everything is a la carte, which makes it pricey, but at lunch you can squeak by for less on the daily specials. Expensive, but you already knew that, didn't you?
