Guy American Kitchen and Bar

Guy and Heartland Brewery team up to create a mecca to American comfort albeit a pricey one. Is this farm to table-no, but a fun dining expedition. Creative drinks like the Jack Nog with eggnog of course, Jack, honey, cinnamon tasting like Baily's or Kaluha in a glass. Oysters Malibu with spinach, garlic, onions and lemon baked to a tasty perfection. Chipotle soft tacos also a winner with taste and a little spice. The mains were less inspired.......the Motley Ribs with their galactic glaze were less tasty than they looked and an Argentine hanger lacked flavor. The dessert a fruity parfait called Salted Whiskey Caramel Fool with whiskey and layered strawberries & poundcake was a nice finish. Have fun folks this is a Times Square restaurant not "New Brooklyn" dining. GO!

Giovanni Rana

Giovonni Rana is a fifty year old pasta maker from Verona, Italy. It first appears somewhat like Eataly with pasta for sale, a restaurant and some packaged Italian goods. It is not, in that pasta is elevated to a fine art here. The pasta for sale is magnificent showcasing hard to find styles like beet tagliatelle- normally found only in restaurants. Raviolis with paper thin exteriors look great. The beet tagliatelle only $2 for a quarter pound(serving for one) is quite a bargain. You can also dine in and the chef is reputed to be quite good. A great addition to Chelsea Market. GO! GO!
