On the Beautiful Blue Danube - on Fifth Avenue and other New York City, NY Restaurant Reviews

Ringstrasse, NYC?

Restaurant Name: Cafe Sabarsky

Cafe Sabarsky is a authentie Viennese cafe tucked into the Neue Galerie on the Upper East Side (Fifth Avenue at 86th). Great atmosphere: this is a lovely place to meet with an old friend to catch up on things! My friend Lucy spent some with me in Vienna a few years ago, and so for us this was a real time-warp. Yes, you can get a Wiener Melange here, and yes, the waitstaff will not rush you out of the place - just like the old world.

Favorite Dish: The Hungarian Goulash is the best I've had this side of the Alps! I've was too full to try any of the Sacher Torte, but I imagine it's quite good too.

Is this Buda or Pest?

Restaurant Name: Hungarian Pastry Shop

Danger Zone for Dieters! This uptown bakery serves the most delectable pastries this side of the Atlantic. I'm sure they serve thousands of mille feuilles every year, and their Napoleons would please a Bonaparte. Enormously popular with Columbia Students, the Hungarian Pastry Shop is a small, simple operation: order at the counter, find a seat at the back (if you can), and enjoy.

If these walls could talk. . .

Restaurant Name: Caffe Reggio

Caffe Reggio has been in business for almost 80 years, since 1927, and it's not to hard to imagine to place still being open in 2087. It's an old world place in New York, small, cozy, and conducive to close friends and lovers sharing intimacies, or just sitting and enjoying the time and the space. You might feel as if you've been transported to Roma or Milano, yet Washington Square is just three minutes away. Open early in the day and late at night, with a mix of patrons young and old, gay and straight, well-heeled and studenty.
