Cajun in New York City? Why not? A friend swore by this place and I trusted her.
I tried the watermelon martini. I like fresh fruit drinks (never anything with schnapps, please). At first, it… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)

Little did we know we would have to wait hours for our hotel room at the W up the street. We had gotten to the hotel early so we decided to just walk around until we found something light. Azuki fit… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
I’m really sort of torn about giving this place 4 stars.
Two years ago, after being disgusted by our amazingly tiny room at the Washington Square hotel, we switched to the W, uncaring of the price.… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Driving past Koutoubia to go to Baran reminded me I hadn’t reviewed this place yet.
We started with drinks at the bar. I had the Le Momo which is essentially a vodka tonic with crushed mint. Not bad.… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Um, where am I again? Oh yes, Midtown! We hadn’t been having the best seafood on our trip so we decided to stick to red meat.
We had a “light” skirt steak lunch. I really liked the sauce provided… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Republic is a trendy, trendy, trendy place with matching high prices. I had a decent wonton noodles soup but it was $9. I know we’ve spent a lot of money eating already on this trip but I was still… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
Gross.

After being terrified of Chumley’s, we came here. The White Horse is a mildly sticky dirty bar but it was practically sterile compared to the plague-ridden Chumley’s.
I don’t know if it’s changed… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
I like the historical value of the place but it was a serious dump. There were flies all over the place (people were covering up their drinks with napkins) and the beer and cider were piss poor.… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
The fourth star is for convincing me kosher pickles is a necessity in life for me now. I never liked American pickles (give me good Asian or Middle Eastern pickles any day) but taking a bite out of… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
I curse this restaurant, I really do. Ever since I had the bone marrow here two years ago, I’ve been futilely searching for something like it in L.A. I found it amusing later when I was flipping… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
We decided to stop in for a drink (or five) before heading to dinner.
I loved this bar but then I love dark bars where you forget who you are sometimes.
The calamari was absolutely the best I ever… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)

A friend has been telling me about this Lombardi’s place for years now. And he was so in love with the baked clams. So, we headed there for lunch.… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
I’d been warned about Mexican restaurants in NYC but after our flight was delayed and many hours of travel, we popped into the first place that looked like it could serve us a stiff drink. And that’s… (via Scotto B. on Yelp)
