We practically live here for lunch and dinner. Its almost embarrassing! If the noise levels (feels like a cozy cafeteria) don't bother you too much, this cozy all american spot will have you running back over and over. The food is fresh, simple, and DELICIOUS! and best of all...pretty cheap for NYC. (I'd skip the drinks though...they aren't too strong).

Remember the venue where Carrie and Big hosted their rehearsal dinner in 'Sex and the City' the Movie? It was shot HERE! Truly one-of-a-kind from an ambiance, interior decor, and service perspective. This Chinese Fusion style restaurant remains a solid go-to for us time and time again. Perfect for a fun romantic night out for two, or celebrations for larger parties as well.
