Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for NY for four adults and three kids. Somewhere less fussy but good and something unique (i.e. not a steakhouse like Keens, etc). My initial thought was Cosme, which is somewhat casual and loud, which I absolutely love but we want to try somewhere new. Same thoughts Estella. We've already been to the traditional top restaurants like Per Se, EMP, etc... but those are all a bit too quiet and way too formal.
Good cocktails or a place near a good bar, like Blind Tiger for beer even.
We're renting a loft in Tribeca so something relatively close is a huge plus.
I don't want it fit the traditional mode of top, as in fussy or expensive, but good and I know there are some really knowledgeable people on this thread. In fact, I find that the traditionally top places are underwhelming and a bit stale and boring
Union Square Cafe or Gramercy Tavern come to mind. They have amazing service that isn’t formal. They put you at ease. Food at both are fantastic with Gramercy Tavern being the more “fancy” of the two with a set menu.
