I mean the address is the name so it's the same place. I've been there probably around 5 times, always on dates. I like eating outside there in warm weather. Never have done lunch. I'll stick to my review on the food. I did like one appetizer they had but I can't remember what it was - something without meat that looked like a meatball.

This place along with bacaro and antique garage are the places I bring attractive jappy girls to. I don't think any of them has good eats but I like pink more than I like food.

Thanks for the input.
We ended up eating at Blue Fin (close and conveniant- food was fair), Bouley and Le Bernadin's tasting menus were great, Nobu 57 had great cod and rock shrimp, Cha Cha's and La Palerma (sp?) in Little Italy had good and much cheaper food, and Puttanesca was decent. We had to cancel some of the other high-end restaurant reservations to make it to Letterman and Broadway shows.

You went to Puttanesca in HK on like 56th/9th?

You couldn't pay me to eat there.

Bouley was where I ate on Christmas Day and it was fantastic. Le Bernadin is another one of my favorites but I didn't get to go there on my recent trip.
