Nate S: Split mozzarella sticks with that guy you just met up at the bar.
Appropriately Critical: Love it...absolutely perfect for friendly corner bar feel
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Sure, it's a gay bar, but this dingy old survivor is more masculine than 90 percent of the straight bars in America.

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant: The tuna cecina is a MUST along with the 2 sauces. Also loved the octopus spiedini. Pastas are great. Avoid the chicken. A scene!!
Fred Wilson: Sit at the bar, order the Sicilian red, get the tortellini and the crab spaghetti, then the chicken. Go home happy and full
Nina Yiamsamatha: To drink: the Fiori is their take on a floral negroni, and it is perfect. To eat: start with the tuna tartare cecina (tuna in a chickpea crepe), followed by the tortellini and guajillo chicken

Ashley Edwards: Go during the week, if you can. Weekend nights tend to get pretty crowded. Also, check-out the rooftop - on a crisp night it's simply amazing!
Bravo: The scene of the infamous Kelly/Bethenny, “I’m up here and you’re down here” fight from Season 2. However if you’re there you’re always “up here.”
Bravo: The Brass Monkey keeps it real in the meatpacking district. Relaxed, inexpensive (for the 'hood) and great for late night munchies. -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef

TOmasU: Try burgers-friends say they are one of the best they have ever tried.. Like home made thing. Personally, I liked salads: fresh ingredients, dressing is given seperately and the portion is nice;)
Stephanie P.: TWO WORDS. WAFFLE FRIES. Doo it!!
Elizabeth Fernandez: Try the Atomic Wings
