HK  HELL'S  KITCHEN

Lynn and I were looking for a place to eat lunch on 9th Avenue. We decided to try the restaurant on the corner that I had frequented with Devin in the past.  It has changed owners and venues, so it was like a maiden voyage for us both.  The menu offered a variety of American food with miscellaneous Mediterranean options.  Our server was very attentive and pleasant, and our lunches were great!  Lynn couldn't eat all of her generous club sandwich while I ate all of my salmon.  I get teased in my family for ordering salmon frequently but I was very happy I did at HK.  It was prepared perfectly.  If I worked in that neighborhood, I would definitely be a steady customer.

GALLO NERO

Last weekend it was cold and snowy, but that didn't stop us from walking the streets to eat in a restaurant we haven't tried.  We had tickets to see Hedwig and wanted a casual dinner before going to the show.  Gallo Nero was perfect for just that.  A cozy little restaurant with friendly waiters and good food.  My rigatoni with salmon and asparagus was excellent.  Lynn enjoyed her spaghetti carbonara as Devin did the muscles.  Instead of dessert we drank Nutty Irishman coffees (with Frangelico and Bailey's) topped with whipped cream.  Who couldn't love that???
