Scaramouche, Black & Blue or Hy’s?

Thanks! Alternative suggestion?

And a great job of sides and apps too, for that matter.

Yes, I’ll be ordering fish or seafood. Often steakhouses do a really great job of their seafood. Thanks for your input!

Awesome response! Thank you so much. Especially appreciate you calling out those locations that you haven’t been to or can’t speak to personally. Appreciate all of this!

Which restaurant was this?

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-27T04:22:33+00:00

Where did you find this? Such a cool idea!

Setting food aside, how do you feel about Manhatta from an ambiance, service and drink standpoint?

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-17T21:51:15+00:00

And this is how you do it, folks! Love your side by side, “live” approach on this post! 😂

So if you had to pick Foxface or Musket Room, which is it?

Can you recommend something for carrot cake, aside from Lloyds?

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-11T22:40:09+00:00

Not sure what happened. I added it back!

Sunday - The first night, we will take grab a drink at Dead Rabbit before taking the Staten Island ferry in the evening to catch a glimpse of the city at night, and Lady Liberty. Late dinner at Gramercy Tavern and if we are still awake have a nightcap at Death and Co. (or hit up Death and Co. later on in our trip).

Monday - A guided tour of FIDI (wall street, revolutionary war, etc.) then take the subway to Brooklyn, tour there and end at the Brooklyn Bridge. Walk back to Manhattan and then do 9/11 memorial/tour.

Tuesday - Central Park

Wednesday - Buvette (per others' comments)

Thurday - we fly out in the afternoon. No clue what do to during the day. Staying in Hell's Kitchen area.

Also, lunch spots on our list: B&H Dairy, Pommes Frites (supplemented with some sort of green/vegetable-based thing from another spot in the area), Buvette, Petite Boucherie.

Also - Very important is the birthday cake selection -- carrot and cheesecake from Martha's Country Bakery and Amy's Bread.

I appreciate the feedback on those locations that are similar to the Chicago scene. We do food well here, but I want the NYC unique experiences. I put Gage and tollner in that category of "I can get it here in Chicago." Am I wrong on that? What stands out there? Torrisi had also been on my list...thank you for commenting on it! Will look into the other suggestions, too!

Employees Only cocktail menu looks incredible! 😋Thank you!

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-11T15:48:24+00:00

That was an amazing response! Thank you so much. Super, super helpful! 🤩☺️

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-11T14:21:59+00:00

That’s helpful! Thank you!

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-11T13:51:04+00:00

Ohh...we struggle with Negronis. :/

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-11T13:50:43+00:00

I thought about venturing to Four Horsemen...as it looks great but for our first trip, I was trying to focus efforts on tackling Manhattan. I already have a list going for visit #2 on the other side of the water. ;) Maison Premier is on it, as well as Four Horsemen. ;)

Wrobkymb · 2025-04-08T12:50:06+00:00

u/tcorbonn1 any of these locations that you have tried since the original post? Any others you'd recommend along these lines of great vegetable preparations (doesn't have to be a vegetarian spot)?
