ZAGAT SHOUT OUT
VOTE FOR US
While restaurants with celebrity chefs or trendy scenes may get a lot of the attention, there are thousands of other eateries located in the Big Apple. Some of them are true neighborhood gems - restaurants that are inviting, serve solid grub and pack in area residents night after night while shying away from the spotlight. Although the town's higher-end restaurants are good for special occasions and epic meals, these unsung heroes are what turns an unforgiving city into a place to call home. Check out our favorite off-the-beaten-path restaurants in the slideshow, and comments which restaurants you think deserve more attention.

"Extremely French in a good way", this "romantic" Chelsea bistro serves up "solid Gascogne" classics via "charming" servers in "pleasant" (if "cramped") "rustic" quarters; "interesting" wines "from Southwest France" add appeal, but for many the "charming garden" is the "best part."

Named after a region noted for its culinary indulgences,
this haute establishment is all about foie gras & another luxurious
dishes — carefully prepared and presented.

old alfresco dining.
