I also don't care for Handle's restaurants. However, RBL (walking distance from the Penn) is worth checking out for two reasons: 1) they recruited the head chef from Louisianna at the Hilton, which was a great restaurant; and 2) the attached bar gets some pretty good blues bands.
On the downside, the service is surly, the portions are small, and the prices are not.
gbjd1205: Unfortunately, I am unable to expand on your list of Sichuan restaurants. I'm looking through some listings right now and you appear to have nailed the most popular places.
