"Everyone wants to know where the celebs eat, but what about their stressed-out publicists, agents, and attorneys? They all have standing reservations at The Grill on The Alley, a power-lunch classic serving well-seared ribeyes with steamed broccoli, chicken piccata in lemon-butter with warm table bread, and brownies a la mode. Could most dishes use a bit more seasoning? Sure, but the five-star service alone makes us wish we were regulars—the white-vested servers will charm you with stories about knowing Madonna before she was Madonna. Book ahead of time if you don't want someone’s assistant snagging your table." - sylvio martins, brant cox
