We went to Cafe des Artistes at the beginning of the month (April 2nd) to celebrate getting our taxes done. Neil Gargiulo is a godsend. James and Christine got us a gift certificate to the restaurant for Christmas. We initially tried to use it on Valentine's Day. We don't like going out to eat on... Read More

That was where I went with my husband on our first date. Not to the bar but to the restaurant. You’re surrounded by all the murals of nude women and it was just a really odd date in a way. There this little bar there that just feels like a little secret. It’s tiny and you could only fit probably ten... Read More

Cafe Des Artistes manager Jenifer Lang has an update to last week's post that rumored the famed restaurant was closing: "The rumor is incorrect. We are not closing.

I've always thought this Upper West Side stalwart's murals were enough of a reason to take a seat at the bar. Little did I know that the real reason to sidle up for a cocktail in the Café des Artistes lounge is to meet its 93-year old grande dame Claire Oesch. Once in a while the New Yo... Read More

A restaurant manager claimed to be “in shock” when we asked him to confirm that Paulino will be a conte... Read More

And now it's time for some Friday afternoon reckless rumormongering. We hear from an extremely credible source that the legendary (and almost 90 year-old) tourist magnet Cafe Des Artistes may soon be closing. Purportedly a rift between the owner and management is to blame, but all parties involved a... Read More

Avoid pre-Lincoln Center crush and go after 8 p.m. for a more relaxed meal; also, request a table by the bar for a more intimate environment (although you miss out on the murals in the main dining room). The food is sometimes hit or miss but, the ambiance is great and the schnitzel tasty. Read More

The micro-micro-neighborhood centered around 70th Street and Columbus Avenue boasts upscale haunts and casual wine bars for private-practice doctors, ABC staffers, and Apple Bank employees, while the area’s cozy cafés cater to freelancers and thirtysomething stroller-pushers. lunchMap ="/d...

Time was when Lincoln Center seemed caught in a time warp. True, the neighborhood did contain some classic, even beloved, NYC eateries – but therein lay the rub: nothing much new in the way of dining or drinking ever seemed to be happening around the city’s primo performing-arts complex.
