"If you need an upscale option in Tribeca and you’d rather not mingle with C-list celebrities at Mr. Chow, try Tamarind. This restaurant, which has been open for over a decade, has a palatial interior with multiple levels and floor-to-ceiling windows, and a great “executive” lunch prix fixe for only $37. Expect white tablecloths and people in suits, and keep in mind that they don’t allow children under the age of eight. If you’re trying to sign the next big Disney Channel star, you may have to go elsewhere." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
