After months of lurking around and thoroughly enjoying myself here, I've got a question: I'm going to be in NYC at the end of the month, and am looking for a bistro-type place that won't mind a couple of people sitting (and eating and drinking lots) for several hours. Someplace that's got good mussels, bread, cheese and charcuterie plates, and, especially, a kickass hanger steak. The Village/Chelsea would be best, but just about anywhere in lower Manhattan will do. Merci in advance.
