I guess if you're coming to New York, you have to go to Katz's at least once not only to try the food but to see the crazy system and assembly line.

Famous and impressive but to me although the food was good, there are other spots in the city that are just as good.

A French bistro sans the French attitude. Great for dinner and apparently a great spot for brunch.

I love this place purely for the design. I did get 2 piercings done there and I think they did a good job. Their earrings are cute but the quality is not too durable.
