@eater

"With a staircase featured in the original Sex and the City, this retro glam spot features red carpet and marble galore, a vast dining room in the Solow building with unlimited options for group dining as well as an array of more private oversized booths, and multiple private dining rooms. Look for tableside Italian American dishes like Caesar salad and chicken Parmesan. And don’t miss the breads and desserts." - Eater Staff, Beth Landman
