Wow, thank you, RGR! The lamb looks especially delicious. Looking forward to my meal tomorrow!

Great feedback - the beignets sound incredible. I LOVE lemon curd. Yep, read the TImes review! Looking forward to my visit.
Thanks LG -
Craving veal osso buco but can't find any Itaian restaurants with the dish listed on the menu...

suggestions for lunch after Metropolitan Museum
If I were in the area, I'd head to Beyoglu: http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/beyoglu/

Has anyone been recently? Thanks.
suggestion for Italian, generous portions
You're right, in that we don't know how many will be dining. As far as portion sizes and relatively affordable prices go, I think Da Andrea and Rubirosa are right on the money. My only hesitation w/ Rubirosa is them not being able to snag a table. The place is hopping!
Brunch Suggestions - Brooklyn Bridge or High Line
The Bridge Cafe is always solid and never disappoints: http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/bridge-cafe/
Kin Shop Review (Thai Fried Chicken)
Hahhahha! That's awesome. The bone marrow DID look amazing, however, the folks I was with weren't very adventurous. Next time I will try that, for sure. Thanks for the rec!
Italian Restaurant Advice For My Birthday!!!
Right? If only it weren't so far away from my apt, I'd be there much more often.
I, too, love Da Andrea. Have not been to Basta Pasta, but recall someone else talking about how much they loved it. What are your favorites there?
TIA :)

The whole striped bass for 2 is dynamite. Love Lavagna and glad you enjoyed, too.

Kin Shop Review (Thai Fried Chicken)
I went last Thursday, and was told the same thing about the fried chx. Sadly, they were out of the "Steamed Egg Fried Rice." However, everything that we ordered was tremendous, especially that broccoli! Wow.
Our meal consisted of:
Fried Pork & Crispy Oyster Salad
Spicy Duck Laab Salad
Fried Broccoli & Chinese Sausage
Grilled Prawns
Pan Seared Tile Fish
Northern Thai Style Curry Noodle
Steamed Sticky Rice
Crispy Roti & a Tasting of Condiments
A trio of the ice creams: galangal, Thai iced tea, Thai coffee-chocolate
Roasted Pineapple Financier
Coconut Cream Cake
Redwood on 15th and 8th...
Interested to hear what others, who have tried, say...it's on my list to try.
Suggestions for afternoon drinks/appetizers this weekend?
DYING to get over to Lani Kai - do they have outdoor seating?
