Fine DIning

Review: Solomon & Kuff

by James Bianca

Location: 2331 12th Avenue, New York, NY 10027

Cuisine: The lovechild of Caribbean and Gastropub Fare.

Best Dish: It is often the simplest cuisine executed well that makes the greatest impression, and the Yucca Fries paired with their house made Green Chili Aioli was a dish we returned to again and again.

Price: $$

Overall: For a restaurant that is located off the beaten path, its décor and cuisine could rival that of any New York City dining hot spot.

Making date night plans can be hard. More often than not we find ourselves wanting something more interesting than the basic dinner and a movie. This is especially true if you and your partner have been together for a while. Don’t end up in a date night rut. Instead, plan a romantic sunset sail and a meal with Harbor Line Cruises and Craven Restaurant (Formerly Magnolia Restaurant).

Location: 1136 1st Street, New York, NY 10065

Cuisine: Indian

Best Dish: The curried pork belly was a fascinating culinary experience. The dish was well executed with rich complex flavors and just a little heat. Our second favorite was the Fried Okra. The peppery flavor of Indian spices and the crispiness of the Okra made this an addictive appetizer.

Price: $$

Overall: A new restaurant offering a fresh take on elevated Indian cuisine with European and American influences.

Overall: The best kitschy dinner and show you didn’t know you needed to experience.

On Thursday, we celebrated the two year anniversary of Sushi Roxx and the opening of its new show “Love Roxx.” The midtown east eatery, which is designed with animated Japanese wall décor, paper lanterns, and prominent hues of red, is the concept and dream of owner Jason Apfelbaum. Along with the help of his talented, theater-trained wait staff, Apfelbaum has created a space where he says they are “not in the restaurant business,” but rather in “the feeling business.” And currently, that feeling is all about love.
