When eating in New York, if it’s a scene you want, a scene you will get at this unabashedly celeb-centric hotspot, where pretty young things drip with diamonds next to barons, matinee idols, titans of industry, and what appears to be an epidemic of trust-funders. Rest assured, however, the food, at times, is on par with the flash. The casual sister of Uptown’s legendary Harry Cipriani, this Soho spot – with its unmarked yellow awning and heated sidewalk area – offers a uniquely unguarded glimpse into how members of the jet set size each other up. Despite the challenge of its entitled regulars, the wait staff does its best to make you feel like you belong, and the well-executed pastas (split the corn and cheese cannelloni with your dinner partner), generous prime beef sirloin, and special diet section (claiming to help you to Gain Weight Safely” – how Soho) do a decent job at justifying the hefty bill.”
