$$-$$$, Brasserie, SoHo
Fodor's Review:
Even with long waits and excruciating noise levels, most out-of-towners agree that it's worth making reservations to experience restaurateur Keith McNally's flagship, a painstakingly accurate reproduction of a Parisian brasserie. Like the decor, entrées re-create French classics: Gruyère-topped onion soup, steak-frites, and icy tiers of crab, oysters, and other pristine shellfish. Brunch is one of the best in town -- if you can get a table. The best strategy is to go at off-hours, or on weekdays for breakfast, to miss the crush of hungry New Yorkers.
