"Sichuan food continues its wonderful invasion of Midtown, and I can barely keep up with it. A couple of days ago, I visited Peppercorn Station, a jocular name for an establishment poised between fast-casual and formal. Down a ramp in a space lined with whitewashed brick and little decoration, there is waiter service, but a very casual feeling about the place, and food arrives quickly. The menu includes lots of modern Sichuan fare at somewhat elevated prices in the $30 to $40 range, but there are also small plates and soups a little over $10 that are complete meals in themselves." - Robert Sietsema
