On 49th street, there is no mistaking: the revolving sign beckons passers-by to enter its Shanghai-style banquet setting for Ruby Foo's signature Pan-Asian cuisine.<br> Inside this 300-seat, multi-decked "Palace", bold colors, broad decorative strokes, mah-jongg tiled walls and colorful open lobby bar are the visual essence of the Ruby Foo's design.

In over 55 years of existence, Patsy's Italian Restaurant has had only three chefs--the late Patsy himself, his son Joe Scognamillo, who has been at the establishment since the tender age of seven, and Joe's son Sal Scognamillo, who has been manning the kitchen for the past 15 years.

Back in the early 90s, Artie Cutler had already made waves with his Italian restaurants when he decided to chase a different culinary dream. A passion for authentic barbecue pulled him toward Times Square, where he claimed a corner spot at 152 West 44th Street as his new frontier. To get the concept right, Artie and his crew hit the roads through Tennessee, Kentucky, the Carolinas, Missouri, and Texas—the real heartland of smoke and slow-cooked meat. They weren't interested in shortcuts; every recipe, every technique, every ingredient had to measure up to their standards while keeping prices honest. That same philosophy that built his Italian restaurants from the ground up became the backbone here. Winter crowds hustle past on the streets outside, but stepping through the door means trading the cold for warmth and serious, no-nonsense barbecue done the way it should be.

It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a quiet dinner one night and dance until closing the next.
