Second to none! It's very pricey during regular hours, but check out their after hours menu beginning at 11 pm. (HINT: get the Steak Frite - wowza!) Don Draper would go here for a drink with his mistress. The craft cocktails will win your heart! Cited in Bon Appetit as one of the 10 best late night menus in America. Happy dance!

Ohhh, it's just the most authentic Mexican restaurant we've ever enjoyed! Don't miss their rice and beans. (I know...but really!) Margaritas are great - go for the fancy one - it's worth it.

It's outrageously eclectic, and located in Midtown next to The Federal Reserve! (we think that's so cool...) Menu changes often and is themed - think where in the world is James Bond tonight? The service can be spotty, depending on the night, but the ambiance and decor are worth it. Don't miss the super cool men's room.
