Cafe Luxembourg

After Salumeria Rosi, it's great to pop down to what I think is my favorite restaurant in all the city, Cafe Luxembourg (200 W. 70th at Broadway.) Maybe because it's on a side street in a wide and bustling part of town, maybe it's the tile and dim lighting that's not at all dingy, or because it's casual yet elegant. Or perhaps it's the food. No matter what you order, it seems like the perfect combination for that point in time.


Lori had romaine salad and corn ravioli with truffle: crisp, tart, sweet, and rich. I had English pea soup with orange yogurt, and steak tartare. Cool, creamy, tart, luscious.
