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
scene: Industrial brick and wood, with warm, cool light fixtures of various materials and heights
sip: Specialty cocktails and full wine, you know the drill
savor: Octopus; potatoes with egg; tarte tartin
sit: Actually a pretty good date spot, if you are both into food; great for groups to share a lot of small plates, good spot for a chat fest with a friend
scene: Dark and sexy, packed bar and dining room with TriBeCa's best dressed
sip: A creative cocktail menu (inclusive of an Espresso Martini, watch out), along with extensive wine list with some great reds to compliment red meat
savor: The Everything Bagel Biscuits, Chili Lobster, Cesar Salad, Filet, Twice Baked Potatoes with Chedder and Truffle
sit: In a cushy banquette for girls night, guys night, or double date night
scene: Midtown mish-mosh of after-workers, meet for drinkers and out of towners; front room for drinks and bites is always pretty packed, back rooms have warmer, bistro-like feel
sip: speciality cocktails, wines, anything
savor: crispy artichokes; grilled casear; take your shot
sit: For a business dinner; for a catch up with a friend who lives in another part of town; with people visiting and staying in midtown
spend: $$
