Front booths, right near the big windows, are by far the best people watching spots in the LES. (for a backup, hit the mini magic room at Local 138 around the corner on Ludlow)
If you want to have a conversation with friends, don't come here. If you want to get sweaty and lurid with some strangers, do come here.
The Capital Grille is the place to go for a professional business lunch. You have to try the Parmesan Truffle Fries and the Lobster Mac ‘N’ Cheese. The dirty martini is excellent too.
Fun scene, love the Buddha overlooking the dining area. Late night on weekends the music is amazing here. Try the Wasabi Encrusted Filet with Onion Ring stack here, it is exquisite.

One block off Bourbon Street and filled with antique swords, guns, knives, etc... don't miss the old US dollars and the knife-gun-brass-knuckle combo weapon. Ka-pow!
The mussels are fantastic. I may come back and just sit at the bar w/ mussels, bread and wine. ps: lamb ragu pasta + clam spaghetti also great.
Get the fried pickles. Then punch the guy next to you in the face. Then order 2 Juicy Lucys - give one to the dude who's face you punched in. It's delicious!
If you order anything but the Fried Pork Chop for brunch, you're really missing out (okay, maybe the poached eggs too). Bloody Mary's (even the one with the oyster) are just so-so...
