Waitman Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Wow, that's a pricey lunch...while it may be your "go-to," I think it's past its prime and one can do better for the money at a lot of other places. I tend to use Artisanal as a go-to spot when I'm in New York with less adventurous diners (my kids' friends, in-laws) and would also be interested in a similar restaurant for similar purposes. Not necessarily French, but energetic without being frenetic, a place you might dress up a bit for but not stiff, reasonably high-quality cooking without without absurdest pricing. Doesn't have to be in the same 'hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be in the same 'hood. OK, I'll give it a minor shot, with the understanding that taking a 10 minute walk qualifies as in the neighborhood. Lan Sheng = 60 W. 39th - excellent Sichuan. Sichuan restaurants are, and have been, experiencing a renaissance in NYC. This is a prime example. 2nd Ave Deli - 162 E. 33rd - just in case you're in the mood for some decent deli. Gramercy Tavern Front Room - 42 E. 20th - because it's GT. 'inoteca Liquori - 323 3rd Ave. - for great panini Eataly - well, why not? Lots of eating options.
