15 Uptown Spots That Feel Like Downtown Spots - New York - The Infatuation
"If The East Pole were in Nolita, it would still be full most nights, but it’d be the kind of utility spot you’d suggest after agreeing to a last-minute dinner with your new friend from yoga class. It's on the UES, though, so not only is it a solid utility move, it’s also one of the most popular casual restaurants in the neighborhood. There’s a long bar area that’s great for early-in-the-game dates, as well a big dining room that works for groups, and the American menu has options for everyone." - bryan kim, matt tervooren
