Zagat Survey Discussions

Hello,

I moved to the UWS recently, and I am looking for suggestions on rests. From cheap, to burgers, to elegant,...anything really. So far I have been to:
Neo
French Roast
FireSide


Thanks

Cafe Con Leche on Amsterdam at 81st has good Cuban/Dominican food (best if you're a meat eater) and a fabulous garlic sauce condiment. Breakfasts are great and the signature cafe con leche is wonderful. It's lowkey and to say the service is relaxed is an understatement, but the place is small and you can catch your server's eye without trouble. Big Nick's Burger Joint is an institution, and the restaurant upstairs at Fairway is pretty good.

Cafe Luxembourg has outstanding burgers. I would also try Shake Shack. Go to Gari for sushi and 'Cesca for Italian. Try Dovetail for elegant.
I am also a fan of Vai and Fatty Crab.

Try Gennaro on Amsterdam between 92 and 93. Excellent food --little ambiance. No credit cards...but the food is worth the inconveniences.

epices du traitor( med), kefi (greek), pesce & pasta (italian), nice matin (french) , & zabar's cafe are solid & affordable. cafe luxemburg is outstanding, but special occaision prices.
