Battery Park City Restaurants

Inatteso (means unexpected in italian) in the Millennium building (30 West St.) and for views Gigino's in Wagner Park in BPC.

I agree with Prada--Inatesso--had lunch there yesterday--very good; walk over to Haru (wall st), Harry's (stone st) and Harry's Pizza Bar (gold st) and all the Tribeca places. Yesterday, walked over to Balthazar in Soho for cocktails!

you walked to SoHo from BPC?

yes we did!! up west street to spring!! I'll admit it was a hike but we like to walk---the cocktails were our reward!!

sounds great! any favorites in tribeca?

another vote for inatteso!!! very different, but izzy and nat's is also excellent.
so many good ones in tribeca, an oldie but goodie is odeon. love it for a sunday eve in the fall/winter.
and yes, soho is very walkable i have done it several times... nice way to walk off drinks or snacks!

The Harrison is a solid choice... Tribeca Grill also delivers - nothing exceptional, but good... Kori is decent Korean... Takahachi is great sushi!

thanks, i can recommend my favorite in FiDi, its SHo in the Setai, great french food, and beautiful place. very nice for special dinner

where is a good place to grab a quick saturday morning breakfast? diner type?

BPC is kinda short on restaurants; Gigino's is good, but nothing else really stands out. I'm a fan of Ivy's in Tribeca and Ward 3. Dean's is good for pizza, though not as good as Lombardi's, which does not deliver to BPC, sadly.

Sorry, movinup, got distracted while responding: Ivy's is a good bet for breakfast. Classier than a typical diner but still reasonably priced.

I'm also a fan of Blaue Gans.

Le Pain Quotidien just opened in northern BPC...in the Riverhouse. Nice breakfast/lunch and lots of great treats and wonderful breads.

SHO Shaun Hergatt is a beautiful restaurant (on Broad St., very close to the NYSE) with food beautifully presented... art on a plate!

Take advantage of the Restaurant Week (only lunch) special $24.07 which will last thru Labor Day.

For dinner, it's about $100pp (including tip and tax)....Wine is very expensive - by the glass, around $24.
It's really an extraordinary experience.

that's where izzy and nat's comes in.
also the little bakery (for lack of a better word) on the south corner of Inatesso us very popular.

I call it "The Pain Quotient"

But seriously, "Quotidian" in English means 'commonplace', 'routine', and by extension maybe even 'dull' ... so the retail chain is called "The dreary bread".

For a diner with decent breakfasr right over the West Side Hwy at the 1 stop on Rector is Georges Diner--nothing special but decent diner breakfast

viet cafe and wolfgangs steakhouse are also very good

where is wolfgangs steakhouse? is it wolfgang pucks? Also mjpayo, i know you were interested in living in BPC, did you ever find a place?

Pan Latin at the very north of BPC--chambers street all the way west. Very local spot.

Quotidian means more literally daily. So it translates to The daily bread. I do agree that the place is mediocre.

Pan Latin has good food but takes the "Latin" aspect very seriously as well - you will not get in and out of there in under an hour and a half for a simple breakfast. I think they actually milk the cows to make the cheese before cooking your omelet. Izzy and Nat's is okay, nothing special; I prefer walking to Zuckers, myself.

Alan and HSW are both right - quotidian means daily, but the chain's offerings are overpriced and pretty dreary.

Not what Movinup is looking for, but Mangez Avec Moi and the Viet Cafe are both good, too.

> where is wolfgangs steakhouse? is it wolfgang pucks

Nah, its yet another of the waiters from Luger's opening steakhouses.

But isn't that like the guy who washes cars starting a car manufacturer?

prada i second your motion! if you see a few post above yours i recommend SHo it's probably my favorite restaurant anywhere, based on everything!

Oh! Duh. My favorite restaurant is Landmarc. I don't go often, so it didn't come immediately to mind.
