"The Upper East Side isn’t a bastion of cutting-edge restaurants, but it’s definitely a neighborhood that does the classics very well. Antonucci, a few blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art on East 81st Street, is no exception, housed in a bright, pleasant space framed by pink-painted walls and abstract paintings. The menu consists of Northern Italian comfort foods, from veal osso bucco with saffron risotto to perfectly crisp chicken Milanese, and there’s a perfect wine for every dish. Come for an ideal post-museum outing." - Andrea Whittle
