Restaurant Reviews

Some interesting restaurants Matthew and I tried recently:

Meatpacking
Fig and Olive - a beautiful space with food to match it. There are olive oil tastings and the dishes remind me of vacationing in Italy.

Chelsea

The Park - dine in the wonderful indoor garden.

Flatiron
Eleven Madison Park - beautiful neoclassical space, food is very well done by its new chef.
Boqueria - great Flatiron tapas bar.

West Village
Perry Street - clean, minimalistic space. Food appears to match the room but is more interesting than it appears.

LES
Kampuchea - casual chic Cambodian food. Delicious.
Core 191 - nice outdoor space, food is fun and simple.
Freemans - food was good in an interesting lodge setting, but we were the oldest ones in the room.
Stanton Social - very good food in a nice loft setting.
Teany - we frequent this drink place for morning coffee/tea.

Queens
Jackson Diner - better than 6th St Indian food and very child-friendly in Jackson Hts.

SoHo
Cafe Noir - great French-Morrocan restaurant, good tapas.


TribeCa
