"Unlike so many other sidewalk seating situations in Manhattan, the one at this Upper East Side Italian restaurant allows you and your friend some healthy distance from the pedestrians going to New York Sports Club or walking their goldendoodles on 3rd Avenue. The thin-crust pizzas, salads, and pastas come in really big portions here - and the complimentary garlic focaccia might be better than anything on the menu. Tell your friend to ask for more and stick some in her purse." - hannah albertine
