so Le Zie and manzo both sound great....the stuzzichini sounds great but wonder if we could get in and out as fast as manzo. I have been to babbo and otto and lupa so not sure if this would be same style?

a little help for May 28th visit...50th birthday

This board has been very helpful over the years. I am looking for recommendations. Me and my wife both enjoy Italian, we have tried Babbo, Lupa, Otto, and Becco. Have read rewiews of others on this board. Price is not an issue. Would like something that is has great pasta, and maybe meats as well. Also we are thinking of place for Tapas, we love Casa Mono. Location is not an issue as long as in Manhattan. Also looking for a nice place for wine before dinner maybe in village. We are in town friday -monday afternoon. Finally a place for good duck, could be chineese or duck in general.

thanks

Memorial day plannin

thanks...another quick question. We have eaten at casa mono several times and have only found the razor clams once. each of the other times they told us that they were "not in season".....does anyone know if they are "in season" end of May?

Memorial day plannin

Just checking to see if memorial weekend may 29-31st is usually a difficult time to line up reservations...in general...i know it all depends on restaurant, but was thinking of the Mamufuku ones.....

any thoughts on esca or felidia

i have been to babbo, lupa, otto, casa mono and becco. I wonder what people thought of Felidia for good pasta and Esca for seafood. i will be in oct. 24th-25th....i appreciate all feedback.

Which do you prefer for a great dinner - Cafe de Bruxelles or Markt

have only been to cafe de bruxelles...and loved the mussels and fries...going back again in august.

August 7-11th visit

August 7-11th visit

Thanks again for this board..has helped me plan 3 great visits. This trip will be with whole family, who are after red sause Italian. We have been to Becco, but they are looking for best eggplant parmegiann in city. travel is not issue as we will be staying in finanical district.

Planned meals so far are Balthazar for breakfast:daughters looking forward to scene and food. Thinking of going back to have them experience Cafe de Brussles for mussels. Thinking of ateros? pizza...end of same block as Lupa.

rest of visit in terms of meals are open...we will be spending most of our time in soho, noho, EV and WV.

I will be more focused as we get closer, but red sause Italian is key....
