    Yakitori Totto

  251 West 55th Street, 2nd Floor - Manhattan - New York, NY           
This Midtown restaurant's specialty is yakitori (which means "grilled chicken") — a traditional Japanese street food — with an important extra detail: dishes are made with premium-quality meats. Chicken is the focus of the menu, but all sorts of meats are available, as well as classic appetizers such as onigiri and gyoza. Despite the restaurant's commitment to offer premium quality cuisine, Yakitori is a traditional working-class dish, and the restaurant's prices stay true to this.
    The River Room, Manhattan
  679 Riverside Drive - Riverbank State Park - New York, NY           
“The view is magic… The long northern wall of the restaurant is floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge… a broad span of glittering lights… a sensational view.
Much of the food… explores Southern cuisine — defined broadly — and what might be called elevated soul food… I tried a fillet of striped bass encrusted with corn meal and okra. The contrast between the gritty, crunchy exterior and the moist interior made for a very fine dish.
Service… was definitely earnest and often charismatic. Both of the waitresses who interacted with our table had senses of humor and senses of just how much conversation we wanted and didn't and when.”
