| | | | | | The space that once held Argentine steakhouse Pampa, which closed earlier this year, has been rechristened La Rural after the annual agricultural livestock show in the Palermo neighborhood of Bu... Read More | | | | | | La Rural, an Argentine bistro, looks a lot like its predecessor, Pampa. Read More | | | | | | The demise of Pampa, once an Upper West Side favorite for Latin-style grilled meats, was a body blow for the neighborhood’s carnivores. They’ll get over it. Pampa was succeeded a month ago by another Argentine steakhouse called La Rural, which sounds just as worthy. “From the menu to the new design ... Read More | | | | | | It's a little confusing, entering the spanking "new" La Rural, located where Pampa used to be, all of the former tenant's decor still in place, the Argentinian menu pretty much—maybe exactly?—the same.

Read More | | | | | | The pretty good: Barfry, where I retreated after finding Pearl closed for Xmas break and where I had a great crab cake po’ boy but the strangest service even though only one other diner was in the joint at lunchtime. The waiter behind the bar pointed me to a table and let me sit while he did a few c... Read More | | | |
