If You like Live Music and Entertaining Show after Dinner... – After a yummy dinner at Union Square Cafe, a great place to go is The Griffin to Michael Fredo's Wednesday night party. They have a great show and an open bar from 8-9:30. Free admission too. Michael Fredo with The Benny Reid Ensemble is a great Jazz/ Ratpack show. 50 Gansevoort @ Greenwich

union sq cafe – On a lazy Sunday when all my friends were busy and I was tired of sitting in my apartment, I wandered into Union Square Café for some brunch. I had a book and a glass of wine, and I was armed for being a solo diner in New York City. For the record, I am a terrible decision maker. Committing to so much as which pair of panties to wear in the morning is a difficult task for me, so you can imagine what going out for a meal is like for me, especially without the assistance of another human being to help me narrow... read more

Ecstasy – Been here twice in the past year and both times the food was beyond outstanding and the staff friendly, helpful, courteous and knowledgable. In fact, I had gnocci that literally melted in my mouth. All four of us were swooning like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally." We were embarrassing ourselves but the food was that good. If it's your first time here, be sure to walk a few feet to Union Square Park and chat with the artists displaying their wares. It's an interesting experience and we always end up buying someth... read more

Classy and delicious – My husband and I came here for a special occasion, but were awkwardly seated side-by-side, facing another table. It was pretty awkward....we felt like we were at the sweetheart table of our wedding but we didn't know any of the guests! The outstanding fare completely made up for it though, and we didn't notice the strange seating while we were enjoying our meals. Everything tasted elegant and fresh. We had delicious salads, an amazing pasta, and fish and chicken. We finished off with some fantastic des... read more

Unreal – I felt i was in a third world country except for the prices, i paid $250 dinner for two of 70 minutes.. The food was bland and average, ingredients were missing in some of the dishes, the service was so slow but the check came so fast.. i was overcharged and the manager didnt even apologize, complete indifference at the door. I am a New Yorker and i hardly ever complain but this was a shock, the absolute worst.

Perennially popular downtown eatery. – Every year it's either number one or number two in the Zagat popularity rankings, and amazingly, Union Square Cafe has continually maintained its quality and unwavering loyalty from its tourist-heavy audience. Under chef Carmen Quagliata the food has taken more of an Italianate turn than it had under former chef Michael Romano. The long bar is filled with solo snackers who come in for a glass of wine and the USC burger, but the tables are generally all spoken for a month in advance. And... read more

Best Restaurant in Manhattan – My girlfriend arrived 20 minutes early for our 7:30 reservation on a busy Saturday night. Despite being early we were immediately seated. The server was excellent, he overhead us talking about the duck confit and came over to tell us more about it. My girlfriend has been to Italy, been to most of the best Italian restaurants around, and said that her ravioli she got as the first course was the best pasta she ever had. The food was amazing, the price is excellent for a top tier restaurant, and t... read more
