A place to eat in The Big Apple

Is La Mirabelle as formal, ie. coat & tie??

I heard the Dover Sole is the dish to get also.

 

No, it's informal. No jackets, no ties. Lovely place, lovely people.

And if you go late enough, one of the old waitresses might break out in unaccompanied Edith Piaf and if you close your eyes . . . . . .

Hi G56whiz ... I know exactly who that waitress is. She is also the painter of the various landscapes that adorn the walls. She LOVES us gay guys

I met the described waitress, she is a piece of work!

Mirabelle is to be put on your list if you haven't been.

How about 2nd Avenue Deli, which is really at 33rd & 3rd?

Excellent and wide ranging kosher fare...

There are so many excellent restaurants in the City that it's hard to pick just one. Here are current favorites:

 

Etcetera Etcetera: (http://www.etcrestaurant.com/index2.htm) (reservations are a must)

 

Essex (http://www.essexnyc.com/) I recommend the brunch -- reservations are also must.

 

Cafe Frida (http://www.cafefrida.com/Home.htm) -- the margaritas and the guacamole are to die for. It's kind of cramped, but it's worth a trip the Upper West Side, IMHO.

 

Ruby Foo's (http://www.brguestrestaurants.com/restaurants/ruby_foos_times_square/index.php); it's the only restaurant where the server asks: "Are their any food allergies that we need to know about?" I have one so that's much appreciated. (It even specifies the allergy on the check.)

 

Last but not least, I always seem to wind up at the Delta Grill (http://thedeltagrill.com/).

 

Like I said, it's really hard to choose. I'm sure that my suggestions will be different the next time that someone asks.
