NYC Good Eats

[lavendula]

Heading back to our native land for the last week in July. I'll admit that I have not been up with the latest restaurants and places to try and need some guidance!

Any new(ish) restaurants that 2 deprived NYC transplants should try?

Budget is reasonable to a little splurgy, and the restaurant would preferably cater to carnivores as well as vegetarians. We are staying in the LES so bonus points for places in our area!

Ciao!
