James H.: I loved the bouillabaisse and believe it to be the best in NYC.
Tiffany & Co: The ruby banquettes at this classic French restaurant have been graced by presidents, Mad Men and movie stars. Make a dinner reservation tout de suite and request a small corner table.
Vanity Fair: Sophisticated socialite Deeda Blair lunched here with Nan Kemper in the early 1960s.

DoubleDeuce: Warm, cozy and well lit with plenty of crafty brew options on tap and a glass-covered open space in the back. Solid choice.
Untappd: Located on 55th and 2nd, this small little bar has tons of taps and great food. There is a special private area in the back with lounge chairs and TVs. Great selection!
Alex Grabowski: Outlets underneath the bar!

Italian Restaurant · Midtown East · 43 tips and reviews
Jatin Kataria: Cappuccinos are great! Frito mistto and salmon were great! Was not impressed with amarone selection!
Rewan Parti: Potato and Zucchini Chips, calamari, tuna tartare. For mains try the lobster linguine (spicy) and yellow tuna pan seared. Tiramisu for desserts. This place is definitely pricey!
Brian Erickson: Had dinner, mediocre food and very crowded. Ordered an entree for 2 & they lost leftovers in the coat room—$30 worth of food. Owner said I should keep better track of my food and didn't do anything.
