Endame dumpling and the glazed black Cod. Real great!

Old school Italian at old school prices! Hands down fav dinner spot in Chelsea. Try the gnocchi or the black fettuccini (if they have it as a special).
Great list of Arepas and other Venezuelan treats. Small place but not a lot of wait during the week. Try the green plantain sandwiches!

Best French cafe in the globe, or at least West Chelsea. Don't let uncomfortable chairs deter you. Amazing omelets, beautiful crepes and great staff. And if you wait long enough you may even see me.
If you love lobster, get the Daily Double - 2 lobsters for $33. Wash it down with sangria. Fantastic meal.
Two words: champagne sangria. Champagne. Sangria.
The King of Spain once said this place had the best Spanish food outside of Spain. Yum!
