How do I begin this post? The problem I face is that I know my words will not be able to convey how wonderful Ornella Trattoria is, and I need you to understand that this is a special place. It goes beyond the food because you are welcomed into the Viterale family (it’s named [...] About two weeks ago, Caryn (thoughts in italics) and I were invited to try Le Perigord, a French restaurant in Midtown. While Le Perigord was a classy French establishment, I went in with the mindset that this is a place I’d take my parents (or have them take me) or go on an anniversary [...] My good friend from college and her med-school friend stayed with me before a conference in the city, so I needed to find a spot for us to eat.

But while walking down Park Avenue, I noticed a sign at City Crab & Seafood Company: Don’t Be Crabby - Half-Price Happy Hour. Although [...] Several months ago I heard about this great deal on the Upper West Side - Sunday at Nonna‘s you can eat your way through six courses for only $20!
