Tue May 09 16:11:29 -0700 2006 0 ChrisZ 1 1240299 Most of the places are solid neighborhood places which are fine but you would not want to travel for. The ones I like are Rosa Mexicano, Cafe des Artists, Fiorello, Jean-George, and the places in the Time Warner Building - Asiate and Cafe Gray - have not been to Per Se but imagine that it is very good.

Tue May 09 21:11:56 -0700 2006 1240299 0 JoanN 3 1240316 a few places on Broadway and 63/64 Sushi a go go Josephina Cafe Fiorello also ----- Shun Lee Cafe - W. 65th off Columbus Tue May 09 22:17:08 -0700 2006 1240304 0 monicafe666 2 1240312 Thanks for the suggestions, but being that I am going up there for class twice a week I really do not have the time for Jean-Georges, Per Se's of the world. Although there would be nothing more classic than having dinner at per se after a 8:0010:00 class. I was looking for the more "chowhoundish" / everyday neighborhood places. Quick bowl of pasta, sushi, pizza, etc... Thanks again I think Rosa Mexicana is on the radar Tue May 09 22:00:32 -0700 2006 1240299 0 ChrisZ 3 1240324 Ahh.... sorry, didn't know what you were after. Rosa Mexicano is not cheap - but their guacamole is excellent. Sushi A-go-go is decent, but again, not too cheap. My favorite cheap pizza place is nearby: La Traviata http://www.menupages.com/restaurantdetails.asp?restaurantid=1730 Indian - Sapphire Malay - Penang Japanese - Lenge & Dan's Tempura Chinese - Wok City (better), Ollie's (more famous), Shun Lee (best, but expensive) Italian - Pomodoro There's a wrap place at 68th and Broadway - I am not into wraps but my gf thinks it's okay. Certainly very affordable. A little farther up on 72nd is Burritoville and Taco Grill. Very good, cheap, basic Mexican. of course there is the Gray's Papaya there as well. bon appetit Tue May 09 23:23:04 -0700 2006 1240312 0 devil
