Was just realizing a, lacking Asian. Will check em out; thanks!

@kathryn - thanks. Don't know dinner times yet b/c tomorrow is the start of the 30 day window for most of the reserves. So still flexible for now. Love the Thurs idea night. As far as Death and Co, etc - can you get in before dinner? Like say going on Fri or sat right when they open at 6? Or are weekends just impossible?

Probably, just haven't gotten there quite yet. Usually like to do Pastis or Balthazar. Any thoughts? So I did hear of Bathtub Gin....would probably work well on Thurs night b/c nearest to Scarpetta, right?

Headed to NYC this Fall and wanted to see what people thought of these ideas for dinner. Not going for Michelin stars, just great food in places with fun atmosphere/vibe.

Wed night get in 7 ish and staying in chelsea:
Txikito - tapas/drinks at the bar

Thurs night:
Scarpetta

Friday night:
Minetta Tavern

Saturday night:
Commerce

Would also love to do some of the Speakeasy-style bars bc although I know this is WAY old news for NYC, it's fun for someone coming from San Diego where there is nothing similar! Would love help on where to fit cool cocktail sights in, before or after dinners, especially Friday and Saturday.

Thanks in advance!
