Summer nights are dwindling. Make the most of it by checking out these places:
A cute Italian place in the west village. It's on Christopher & Washington - during the summer it's great - with open doors to let in the breeze from the river. It's cash only, great italian food, great pasta. It feels like you're in Italy somewhere.
On 11 Madison Park & Lex - a bit formalish - it's great - very delicious - and they have a $65 prix-fixe. Extremely delicious. On the expensive side - I went there for a client dinner last week and enjoyed it immensely. I'm not sure if you like foie gras, (you may very well hate it, I'm sorry if I'm offending you) - but if you do, they do it marvelously.
My perennial favorite French place in the west village - 18 Cornelia St - simply fabulous French food, prepared by a French-Morroccan chef. He's lovely. The duck is great - the oysters are best in the city, carrot soup is delightful.
31 Cornelia St. - just beautiful pasta - glorious, delicious, melts in your mouth. This place is hard to get into - so try earlier or later - or try walking in. It's also very close to Le Gigot - so between the two, I think you'll be able to get a seat.
