Eddie V’s Prime Seafood
If your goal is to dine in the middle of Grand Central Station, Eddie V’s Prime Seafood will make you very happy. I had been there once before with friends and found the atmosphere vibrant and fun. But going solo as a senior, I found it loud and the service slow. Because of that, I’d…

Lunch on Limoges
This little restaurant’s name implies lunch will be served on Limoges china. I envisioned fancy, quiet, and sophisticated, right? And if it’s got Limoges china, it’s probably zhuzhy.

Oxford Exchange
By the name, you might get the impression that this is some sort of swap meet or, by the photo, a used bookstore (although I’ve never seen a used bookstore with quite such a fancy floor). You’d be wrong. With inspiration from the clubs, libraries and shops of London, Oxford Exchange was built in 1891…
