Dining at this family-owned steakhouse is like revisiting old New York. Regulars, from locals to literary types, hold court at the black leather booths or sit at the long bar sipping cocktails. The menu includes the usual cuts of steaks but other old-time items include chopped steak and chicken pot pie.

Il Gradino's menu includes Italian standards like house-made vegetable ravioli, breaded veal Milanese cutlets, herb-marinated chicken and roasted branzino. What distinguishes the eatery, however, is its policy of "a piacere," or "to taste" — allowing customers to pick their own preparation styles for the risotto, veal, calamari, lobster, chicken and Dover sole dishes.

A flashy new restaurant and the sister-location of a London hotspot which boasts Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham amongst its celebrity patrons. The 66-seat location — which Vogue says “is about to be New York’s Most Glamorous Restaurant” — is dotted with paintings by Andy Warhol and Keith Haring and filled with sounds of light jazz and beautiful interiors of “green velvet, gilded metals, and curved Brazilian cherry woods.”

At India Palace (401 East 62nd Street), you’ll find the customary staples that most Indian restaurants offer, such as complimentary papad (crispy black gram flour-based chips) with accompanying assorted chutneys (sauces); samosas (deep-friend potato pastries); tandoori chicken; and channa masala (chickpeas cooked in a tangy spicy sauce). What sets this Indian restaurant apart from many others in the area, however, is that in addition to the authentic conventional dishes that will remind Indians of home, it also serves typical Western dishes with an Indian twist. For example, you could get chicken wings as an appetizer, but these are not your ordinary chicken wings. Instead of the barbecue sauce you might be expecting, you’ll taste a curry-like sauce made with Indian spices. You can also try the restaurant’s onion rings (listed on the menu as onion pakoda), but with a slightly smoother texture than typical Western onion rings and a galore of Indian spices. If you’re craving a combination of seafood and vegetables, the Bengal shrimp with asparagus would be the perfect option for you—a recipe that you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Are you a vegetarian looking for a good mix of protein and vegetables? Then you’ll definitely want to try to daal (lentils) broccoli. The unique array of dishes served at India Palace represents a blending of different cultures—quite reminiscent of the city in which the restaurant finds itself—making it a spot where almost anyone can find something that appeals to them.
