Great menu, local food, every dish I've had is delicious and their beer selection is always great. If you're going to pay NYC prices for food, it might as well be great food.

Boutique gourmet dining. The chef grows most of the ingredients in his rooftop garden and so the menu is limited, shifting according to the day's produce. Always a fine meal.

As a photography buff, this is a sweet spot. The museum is on the west side of 6th Ave, the school is on the east. Check out what the students are doing there sometime -- future photojournalists all.
