Doesn't this look nice? It's Cicada restaurant on Olive and 6th. The place is kick ass. The wine list is kick ass and ask for their selection of desert wines. Order some Grappa. If you really want the northern Italian experience order some Jacopo Grappa and have the 5 course meal for $85. You're gonna love it. You're boyfriend or girlfriend is gonna love it too. It's built in this old department store/habidashery. I don't know if you can sit on the upper level, we asked but they said no. It must be for overflow or something. Whatever. Get all dressed up in your finest Italian clothes and come out to play downtown. Afterwards you can wander over to Pershing Square and watch all the downtowners on the ice rink.
Don't laugh.
It's no Rockafeller plaza, but it's all we got here in Downtown, so you better enjoy it.
It's being built right now. Meatpacking district here we come. Look out New York. Oh I'm so going to transfer in 2010 to the NY Standard. Doesn't it look nice. They are doing a blockbuster job in building it. Below is what it will look like when it's finished.
