Coffee Shop

How can this spot once the highest grossing restaurant on the isle Manhattan still be around? It is old school glam- like being transported to Miami without leaving the island. Is the food amazing? No! Is it good enough? Yes? Feel like you are part of a scene and be served by models and model wannabe's. A Brazilian/Latin twist to the food is what's on the menu. A seafood with lime was quite good with a rich broth, lots of seafood and a little hollandaisish sauce on top. Quesadilla of the day- grilled chicken was meager on the chicken, but served with guacamole and sour cream was tasty.
GO once!

The Castello Plan

Clever Costello on Cortelyou Road. A gem of a little spot with a side outdoor space. Under-hyped for the fab fine fare featured. Grapefruit with honey and sea salt is so simple and so delectable. The grilled fontina cheese sandwich with Serrano ham is nothing short of amazing. Perfectly grilled goey fontina on country bread. This grilled cheese is a home run. A side salad of baby greens, cukes, & tomatoes is a perfect compliment. Cheese comes from Murray's the waiter proudly states. Can't wait to return for this killer sandwich and more.
MUST GO!
