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.

Thanks for the suggestion! Any crepe locations?

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.

There are two in the East Village one is a hole in the wall on first ave between 8 and 9th. The other is on East 9th between First and Ave A. sit down.

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.
