Anna Maria gets a big pat on the back for bringing me right back to my drunken college years. Remember that thin, lifeless pizza that you thought was so wonde...
This place is every kiddy-toucher's dream. Wall to wall junior high girls flock to DT-UT to drink strong coffee, eat the joint's famous s'mores and ruin $7,00...
Mmm, Chinese Mexican food. As most people in New York have come to know over the years, most take-out Mexican restaurants in the city are owned and operated by ...
An actual conversation with a bouncer at Al's:
Me: "So, do you guys get all the games on Sunday"
Bouncer: "Which games?"

This is the closest the UES gets to a legit steakhouse. Normally that wouldn't be saying much, but Dan Maxwell's is certainly worth the trip. Not only does th...
My god, make the boredom stop! Something, anything. When people mention words like generic, derivative and horribly dull, Kelly's immediately comes to mind....
A mighty roar went up on the UES when Sweet Melissa's closed its doors. OK, we did hear one high-school student call it the "end of an era." Opened in its pla...
A crowded little Italian place on the UES. Sound familiar? It is. The funny thing is, we never get sick of decent, mid-priced pasta. Vespa has a true neighb...
One of the original kiddy joints on 1st Avenue, Who's On First has somehow survived the slaughter of its UES brethren. It does this while actually having th...

If you haven't been to a Jackson Hole, you haven't lived--lived through trying to digest one of their 40 oz. burgers that is! These people don't mess around...
