Other Eats
If you aren't quite up for the big Balthazar meal, try
26 Seats, a small bistro aptly named for the amount of seats available. This spot is perfect for date night or a quiet escape from the city. Other great options include
Raoul's, a longtime French bistro known for its museum-quality artwork and killer steak au poivre, and the oh-so-modern
DBGB, Daniel Boulud's newest restaurant aimed at the bohemian meat lover.
