New York City Restaurants - Chelsea/Garment District Restaurants

This bustling midtown restaurant, just blocks from the Empire State Building, boasts more than 200 varieties of cheese, though the fromage is just the starting (or, perhaps, ending) point of the wildly popular new dining experience. Seafood and vegetable dishes dominate the menu, but its widely applauded variety of game, fowl and beef are nothing to sneeze at. Artisanal's wine list is exceptional and tops the lists of food critics and patrons the city over.

Known for hearty game specialties, New York's Borge Antico restaurant is popular with locals looking for a romantic spot for a quiet dinner. Gracious, low-key service complements the casual Tuscan atmosphere and cuisine.

Classic Italian country fare, dense as all hell, may go against the dietary restrictions of carb-restricted Chelsea denizens, but Bottino has nevertheless drawn in the gallery-hopping crowd since its unveiling. The mahogany interior provides a relaxed setting for a casual lunch or romantic supper. On warmer days, patrons enjoy a few glasses of wine with antipasti while reveling in Bottino's gorgeous patio garden.

Founded in 1885, Keens Steakhouse, a classic New York chophouse, was already famous for its steaks and chops at the turn of the century. Today Keens legendary mutton chops and dry aged prime steaks are still without equal in the city.
