Balthazar in NYC

sat next to Sienna Miller there once

that neighborhood is full of cool spots. used to work on Grand St. and had lunch at all around there. Ed's Lobster Bar, Mexican Radio, La Esquina, Cafe El Portal, SoHo Park. La Colombe for coffee


as per the OP, my serious answer would be Epsilon in Monterey, CA. Used to go here at least once a week when I lived in Cali. best Greek food I've ever had.
