NEW YORK: NEW YORK CITY AREA
POPOVER CAFE
551 Amsterdam Avenue
(between 86th & 87th on the Westside near the Park)
New York City
Our absolute favorite breakfast and brunch spot, lunch is good, too! Big teddy-bear collection.
JOHN'S PIZZA
278 Bleecker Street
New York City
This pizzeria in Greenwich Village has a 60-year history and keeps growing like Topsy - adding room after room. A number of local movie stars hang out here, from Woody Allen to Jack Nicholson, Mary Tyler Moore to Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito, Penny Marshall to Matt Dillon, and, hey, even if you don't see the star of your dreams, the pizza's great!
MAD61
10 East 61st Street
New York City
In the bottom of Barney's, Manhattan's trendiest department store, Mad61 is a loud, fun trattoria with lots of little plates of food. Sure to please the picky eater. Big selection of cheeses, you can point to what you want to make your own cheese plate. Fantastic bread comes with everything. You'll feel like one of the in crowd.
SYLVIA'S
328 Lenox Avenue
New York City
Harlem has a well-deserved reputation for great food, and consensus is that some of the best is available at Sylvia's. Barbecue and catfish, chicken and cobblers will keep you all busy while you wait for the arrival of Jesse Jackson, Diana Ross, Spike Lee, Wesley Snipes or maybe TLC.
TRATTORIA DEL'ARTE
900 Seventh Avenue at 56th
New York City
Near Carnegie Hall. Very lively and loud Italian hot spot. The antipasto plate can be ordered by itself or with chicken or salmon to make a complete dinner. With older kids you can sit at the antipasto bar where they make them up. Fascinating. A great spot if you've been missing your vegetables.
THE LOBSTER ROLL
1980 Montauk Highway
Amagansett, Long Island
At the east end of Long Island is an unassuming restaurant very popular with the locals and some very well-known stars like Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Bill Murray, Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand and Kim Basinger. What you're doing there is enjoying some great lobster dishes - stars to no stars. Bed and Breakfast Inns |
