NYC Dining: Gramercy Tavern Clone or Alternative
Our favorite restaurant in NYC is Gramercy Tavern. We like the atmosphere, which is interesting, warm, nice but not stuffy. And we love the food and service, of course.
We'll be in Manhattan soon and didn't have a enough notice to make reservations at GT, now it's booked solid.
Anyone have a favorite which has many of the positive qualities of Gramercy Tavern? Cost isn't an issue, nor is location. French tends not to be our favorite cuisine, either.
Thanks for any opinions.

As you know there are many many to choose from that are excellent, so I'll only offer up one that I like.
L'Impero is located in Tudor City near the U.N. It's Italian and wonderful! Also, the editorial winner of best new restaurant for 2003 by Citysearch (if that means anything).
Mangia!!

Union Square - just west off Union Square at 16th St. I think.
Cafe or Cirque 2000 - beautiful atmosphere, excellent service and I have heard rave reviews of the food.
Located at the Palace Hotel on Madison Ave and 50th St.

Thanks for the opinions.
I was able to get tables at Union Sq Cafe and Parke Ave Cafe.
March looks very enticing. I wasn't familiar with it.
Gotham takes reservations 6 weeks in advance, so not a chance there (except the lunch deal, of course).
I like the menu at L'Impero, too.
So many choices, so little time.
I'd be 450 pounds and oozing cholesterol if I lived in Manhattan.
Good thing the Peninsula has a great fitness center.

Wow, didn't know that Gotham Bar was that hard to book. But don't pass on the lunch deal. We booked only a couple days ahead and were surprised that there were quite a few empty tables. It was superb!!

Why not just eat in the Tavern (no reservations). Also check with the chowhounders at www.chowhound.com
