scene: A downtown, trendy mix of business men, thirty-something women, and "hip" parents; I can foresee some bridge and tunnel on the weekends, but all around great vibe
sip: Decent cocktail list, but we prefer our meat with a dirty martini or glass of red
savor: Deviled Eggs, Spaghetti Aglio e Oilo, Bowery Steak, Cheeseburger
sit: Try to snag a cushy booth along the side of the room, or banquettes in back as they are defintely sexier than the tables in the middle of the hustle and bustle
sit: Date night here might be tricky- the decoration says " special occasion" but the rest of the vibe is not that formal, so make sure that your dining partner is a)informed and b) not waiting for the ring; business associates; parents from out of town
spend: $$
address: 455 Madison Avenue (between 50th and 51st)
sit: This is a place for locals really; it is not remarkable enough to bring out of towners, its better suited as a go-to when you can't decide where else to go and are not in the mood for any specific type of cuisine
spend: $$
address: 145 W Broadway (between Duane St & Thomas St)
