1. Tout Va Bien
New York, NY 10019
USA
(212) 265-0190
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West, Theater District
This might be the Rudy's of French bistros in Manhattan.
A local friend points the place out to me as we walk past it on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. "One of the last of the old school French restaurants from the forties, the ones set up to…More »
2. King Cole Bar
Sandwich and a drink: $63.50.
Including tax. Not including tip.
Now the good news.
Stopped in here on the recommendation of an English gent I know, a genteel sort who makes a living traveling the world dealing in esoteric, high-end horology. A few…More »
3. Buvette
New York, NY 10014
USA
(212) 255-3590
Went by this evening to try their Manhattan. They make it with either bourbon or WhistlePig rye, customer's choice. I went with the rye.
It was absolutely smashing. And yes, even with it being served in a friggin' coupe de champagne.
This joint has…More »

Can't remember why in hell I had this place bookmarked, but when three o'clock found me lunchless in… Read more »
4. Le Paris Beurre
Spotted this French bistro a couple of weeks back, on my way to a book-signing. Not my usual neighborhood, but what I saw through the window looked so nice that I popped in for their card so I'd be able to find it again. This weekend, made an excuse…More »
5. Schiller's Liquor Bar
New York, NY 10002
USA
(212) 260-4555
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
American (Traditional),
Bars
Neighbourhood: Lower East Side
Best oysters I've eaten in Manhattan. Decent Plymouth gin Martini. Bartender on duty during my visits was a pro. Excellent Cuban sandwich. Inarguably good happy hour prices. Attractive room, a nice American take on the French bistro, I'd guess.…More »
6. Zucco Le French Diner
Found this place quite by accident- it was across from a pub that had been recommended to me for a quiet midday drink. Noticed it going in. Somewhat peckish after my Paddy and Goose Island boilermaker, I crossed the street and stared at the…More »
7. Dieu du Ciel
This place is a gem. Oh, there are problems, sure enough; the foremost one being that they have waaaaayyy too many frou-frou, experimental beers on the card. Their smoked porter tastes like pureed smoked salmon. It's ghastly. The stout I tried a…More »
8. Hurley's Irish Pub
Draught St-Ambroise Pale Ale!! That, and a large selection of whiskies (and whiskeys); decent, if somewhat bleakly-surrounded terrasse for warm-weather drinking; good, sometimes great kitchen; Irish and other folk music on cold winter nights; …More »
9. Grand Central Oyster Bar
New York, NY 10017
USA
(212) 490-6650
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhood: Midtown East
Stopped in with a friend a couple of months ago, for a plate of late-evening oysters and a couple of Martinis, and still can't get the place out of my mind.
At first glance, it may be hard to understand what the fuss is about. The bulk of the…More »
10. Angel's Share
After unsuccessfully trying to get a seat at the bar my last couple of trips, I finally snagged one last night. Apart from the horribly inept hostess who (1) asked me to move to a stool right next to the door when there were four others available…More »

For my last night in Manhattan, I decided to go somewhere a bit special for my pre-supper drink.… Read more »
11. Bistro Les Amis
Went there around 1800hrs for a quick steak on a Saturday night. Walked in off the street, dressed like one of Richard Avedon's drifters, no reservation. Place was about 95% full. Every table I could see was taken.
"Table for one, to eat a steak?"

12. Joe Beef
Five stars. Five. For courtesy, attitude, ambience, and simple good manners.
No, I didn't expect to be writing that, either. Not after having read the previous reviews here, at least. But I've been there twice, now, for oysters and a drink after…More »
13. Keens Steak House
After five or six visits to the bar over a few years, three of which included food, I'm happy to state that this place is utterly reliable for food, drink, service, and ambience. The quality of the mixed drinks, the flavorful meats, the lovely…More »
