Sardi's it's not, but the 101 has that certain buzz that comes only from restaurants popular with the artistic and literary set. Close to the Abbey and Gate theaters, so there's no danger of missing a curtain call, this slightly frantic upstairs restaurant showcases an ever-changing exhibition of local artists' work. The creative contemporary food—with eclectic Eastern influences—uses fresh local ingredients. Try the chicken stuffed with smoked applewood cheese, onion, and pine nuts. The vegetable coconut curry with wild and basmati rice and an apricot-and-date chutney also impresses. Healthful options and several vegetarian choices make this a highly versatile restaurant.
