| | | OH: Don't expect the Times's Frank Bruni to review it—Portfolio theorizes he HATES going to Harlem—but for everyone else, this three story restaurant/bar seems worth a try.

Bryant Park's rink, which is seasonally surrounded by holiday shops, now has a giant glass restaurant sitting by its side as well. Celsius (housed in a tent previous years) is having a grand opening this weekend in their 7... Read More | | | | | | Fill me up, peanut butter cup, don't break my heart.
