Where is best risotto/ best crepe in NYC?
 
Just curious what are some opinions for a restaurant that serves a really wonderful risotto dish as well as another restaurant with a wonderful crepe (in NYC). What neighborhoods? Thanks!

Picholine, for the risotto with duck confit. Yum! it's near Lincoln Center (and its quite expensive!)

I also LOVE Picholine. Best meal I've had in NY.

crabmeat risotto at aquagrill, it's a side on some dish, but is fantastic.

crepes? There are belgian waffle trucks roaming the city, but that's not the same a crepes.

A foods of NY walking tour led us to a great risotto here:

They even offer different types of rice, and almost unlimited variations. Not "fancy" at all, but good food.

Sorry the Crooked Tree is on St. Marks not East 9th Street.

Offhand don;t know anyplace that specializes in crepes - although naturally some places have a dessert crepe.

But I checked menupages.com and found Crepes on Columbus at 108th St - not far from Columbia. They seem to have a full range of savory and sweet crepes as well as sandwiches and salads.

You may want to check out the reviews and menu.
