sweetbreads
I've always liked these little delights, even before some cooking competition show tried to raise them to cult status.
Can anyone recommend a restaurant in Manhattan (location not as important as the quality of the food) that serves an excellent sweetbread dish - preferably for a main course?
Thanks for the help.

A couple years old, but probably still relevant:

I believe the Momofukus tend to have good sweetbreads, too.

This week's Time Out New York, in its "100 Best Things We Ate and Drank This Year" issue, recommends the sweetbreads at James in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

My two regular sweetbread fixes:
Prune (1st Ave and 1st St, Manhattan), where they're battered and fried and then covered with a butter-lemon-caper-bacon treatment. You can't go wrong.
Kabab Cafe in Astoria, Queens (25-12 Steinway St), where Ali does a much lighter treatment, a bit lemony. And the rest of his menu is great as well.
