Restaurants New York, NY

Sant Ambroeus

Perhaps it is because I used to go as a young girl with my grandmother, or maybe it is the delicious ice creams, it might even be because its a Blair Waldorf regular, but I absolutely love Sant Ambroeus. Its perfect for brunch, a light lunch, coffee, european pastries and take-out paninis. Although everything is worth trying I recommend the veal piccata with roasted asparagus and taleggio cheese fondue or if you're looking for something slightly less heavy order the sea bass with asparagus and olive oil. Best of all, it is conveniently located uptown, downtown & even in South Hampton.

Bar Pitti

Bar pitti is your neighborhood cash only italian spot. don't expect to get a table the second you walk in, this place is popular and does not take reservations for small tables. this tiny little restaurant packs Big flavor and REAL italian food. the Veal Milanese is delightful, as are the polpetini di vitello. you can't go wrong with any dish here!
In warmer months they open up their fabulous outdoor seating.

Sette Mezzo

Upper East Siders frequent this quaint clean and delicious place. Family owned- they only take cash and don't think your bills will be cheap, you might want to hit up the atm before entering. They feature delicious risottos with truffles, and perfectly fried calamari and zuchinni. The waiters know the food they are serving so ask them for their suggestions.

Korean Bar-b-Q (gyu kaku & woo lae oak)

Gyu Kaku

A fun place to go with a hungry group of carnivores. decorated very dark, each table has its own grill ... I suggest ordering the harami miso (if youre in the mood for very sticky saucy meat), if you want more savory meat skip the kobe beef and go for the filet mignon with salt and pepper. order the sweet potatoes and the asparagus . also, don't underestimate the fish.. its yummmy. save room for desert.. you'll want to try more than one. I recommend the yakimochi and the bananas foster.. but lots of people love the smores- it depends on your mood.
