restaurnats near 77th and broadway
 

Staying at On The Ave for a few days in NYC. Any really good restaurants close by?

There are many restaurants in the area including on Amsterdam Avenue between 77th and 81st and south of 77th and north of 81st.

I like www.menupages.com to read restaurant reviews and menus. You can search by factors such as location, cuisine, cost.

The area is packed with restaurants - a lot of good ones within walking distance.

It would help if you told us

1)what your price point is
2) what cuisines you like/dislike

Note that if you want to take food out - for a picnic in the park or whatever - you are only a couple of blocks south of Zabar's - an incredible gourmet shop (premade salads and meals to heat, an incredible selection of cheeses, meats, hot and cold premade dishes, wonderful bakery - anything you could want). Esp great selection of lox you won;t find outside NY.

This is a reliable restaurant at 83rd and Broadway:

One of our original "farm to table" places on 69th Street off Columbus:

thanks again. The telepan looks very interesting.

At 78th and Broadway is the non-fancy famous and great La Caridad, the last good Chinese-Cuban place I believe. These restaurants were created by Chinese who had worked in Cuba, probably in restaurants, and the menu is both Chinese and Cuban. It's a place for lunch and to my mind "real," if that appeals to you.

I like to order picadillo with yellow rice, black beans, and fried plantains/platanos. Or rice with chorizo, other stuff same. Or maybe arroz con pollo. As long as you have black ebeans, yellos rice, and platanos, you will be happy. I think they must also have Cuban sandwiches, if you want to be dainty.

Then at 85th and Broadway there's a French Roast, which is a pleasant 24-hour French bistro with a full bar and extremely consistent and reliable food. And really nice for any meal. It's good to keep in mind if you ever think of having a late dinner or drinks or dessert -- or midnight breakfast --like after a show.

Isabella's on 77th and Columbus WONDERFUL. Just 2 blocks from our hotel. Loved it. Highly recommend it. Casual elegance, more on the quite side, good food, out door dining available. On open table if you are a member.....Def. keeper on our list of good restaurants in NYC

forgot to mention Aqua Grill on spring street. Yummy

Shar, Aqua on Spring is near 77th and Broadway?

Did they move Spring St?

There is an Acqua on Amsterdam and 95th - but not the same.

sorry for the confusion. Aqua Grill was beyond our search for 77th and broadway area. Just wanted to share how good it was
