Why Our Pants Are Unbuttoned
-
3 buttons bursting open
The highest Pants praise: The food is so good that you will want to eat everything and stuff yourself to the point that the buttons on your pants are begging to be undone. You will be full and happy after this meal, heading home to stretchy- pantsed bliss.
-
2 buttons open
A solid place that you will enjoy enough to eat more than one is able to and still be comfortable in skinny jeans
-
button undone
The food is good enough, but you will be able to go dancing after and won’t be tempted to over-indulge on an aggressive level
-
keep em zipped!
Nothing good enough to tantalize the taste buds or tempt your tummy; not worth busting any buttons for this food

pants at a glance
- scene: Awkward collection of rooms that are light filled and pleasant, if not in an odd color scheme; Almost every table is a banquet or booth, which is nice; cramped bar area when you first walk in
- sip: wine
- savor: smoked trout; quail; salmon
- sit: with patient people who have tolerance for cold food and snotty waiters
- stilettos: this is the UWS, so I am still not really sure what goes on up here; it is definitely a dining destination, but people in these parts wear all sorts of things…

dumb dumb dumb, Hyped Chef
“I don’t know what to tell you. You can keep asking me the same question and I will keep telling you that everything is good.” File under: First offensive thing that our asshole waiter at Telepan said to us. Curious and educated eaters that we are, we tend to ask questions about flavor compositions of [...]

pants at a glance
- scene: civilized but not stuffy; minimally done dining room with soft-ish lighting and a buzz from all large open kitchen populated by cute men
- sip: wine- there is a focus on Mediterranean wines that could encourage taking a shot blindly and trying something new; or you can stick to old standards, they say there are bottles from $25, so...
- savor: hummus; eggplant; lamb; scallops; the breads
- sit: people who like to share food; parents or out of towners who want to check out Lincoln Center; suitable for a business dinner
- stilettos: the crowd was shockingly less khaki than I expected for the UWS, pretty polished and dressed for a Tuesday night; that being said, no need to be super trendy, just nice and classic

Daniel, Well Fed Med
Why did the Pants cross town? To get to Boulud Sud! Unfortunately, “sud” does not refer to southern Manhattan, but rather Meditteranean flavors, so our journey to “Sud” began with us heading North, to the UWS, right across from Lincoln Center. It’s no secret that Daniel Boulud is worth traveling for, and there is [...]
