Ben Tepfer: The lunch special is amazing: any salad or appetizer plus any pizza, pasta, or sandwich for only $14!
P.J. Palmer: Go to La Vecchia; hang at the bar for happy hour (5-7pm M-F) and order any of their $5 pizza's and a $5 vino. Best happy hour in the city, but pretty popular, get their early to grab a seat :)
Isaac N: Excellent spot for a date or dinner w/the family. Reservations are a must for parties >4. Staff is consistently attentive & the food is always fabulous! ...remember, you get what you pay for ;-)
