My all time favorite restaurant in NYC is Patsy's. It is the best Italian food I have ever had! What an amazing establishment it is. It is located up towards Central Park and is always crowded. I was turned on to it by Phillipe, the concierge, at the http://newyorkhotels.itravel.bz/new_york_hotels.php]New York HotelNew York Hotel that we were staying at. I believe a dinner jacket is needed and be prepared to see some famous peeps dining inside.
