I don't mind the food at Shun Lee, but it's at least twice as expensive as it should be, if not more. The marginal difference between the $30 chicken/broccoli there and the $8 version from any random UWS delivery place is not worth it. And their Peking Duck is seriously sub-par for MFH.

It's a tiny, tiny bit better but absolutely not remotely worth the premium. My point was just that I don't think it's "bad" -- but I also wouldn't pay for it myself.

Landmarc can be pretty decent, though I haven't been in a bit. Same goes for Scarpetta.

It's interesting you say raised downtown though.

Like, I could totally understand UES or UWS if you were "raised" in MFH.

But you're about, what, 40? And downtown NYC was awfully bad, mainly up until about the mid-90s. And I mean really sketchy. I mean, you must know, if you're from there. Yet, you also claim to be rich. And the rich didn't really move downtown en masse until the last 20 years or so.

So the story, if I may, sounds a little questionable. Add to that the persistent rumors about your Jersey roots and one wonders.

Yes, many times. Downtown was not nice. At all. LES and east village were shit. "Tribeca" and "soho" didn't exist in a meaningful way. West village was just lower middle class. FiDi had no residential, was strictly a business hood or homes for olds. No one with money was living down there. Chelsea was gritty and gays. Meatpacking was filled with trans hookers. Even Times Square was pretty fucking gross until the mid-90s. An bc families with money up until recently always chose uptown due to schools and housing stock and traditional wealth, it's just odd your fam would be downtown. Unless you grew up poor, in which case that's different.

by the time I got there (like 7pm) our friend was so hammered he fucking spit on the floor...inside, in a fucking restaurant. That set the tone for how the rest of the evening went.

I'm with you. A martini, spinach dip, shrimp cocktail and sushi roll at the bar at Hillstone is one of my favorite go-to meals. Still looking for something new though, but I think I found it.

Hell yeah. That's pretty close to my go-to order, actually. Spinach dip is best in the city. Sushi is very good

Hillstone if you want comfort food and great booze

batard for refined fine dining

cafe china for chinese

after 10 years of travel and dining at fancy restaurants like le bernardin, daniel, JG, epicure i have come to the conclusion that they are not worth it unless you have an expense account or 50M+

give me hillstone any day. 3 martinis, spinach dip and the prime rib sandwich

There's something to be said for the consistency and lack of pretentiousness. However, the creamed spinach at PJ Clarke's is far superior to the spinach dip at Hillstone.

And yet not much else at PJ Clarke's except the vibe I guess when you're in the mood to eat at an old timey midtown money joint. Went there a few times over the last few years and the burger, steak, classics are nothing special at all. Oysters were good.

I gotta go back - everyone keeps telling me this. Maybe I went on an off night.

Taboon. 53rd and 10th. Favorite restaurant in MFH. Very reasonably priced too.
