I have been meaning to go to Norma's for over 2 years and this time I made it a mission to visit one morning for breakfast. Norma's is part of the Parker New York Hotel located in midtown west and a real local experience in Manhattan - you'll see locals, professionals and guests dining here [...]
The first time I visited a Jeffrey Zakarian restaurant was at the Lambs Club at The Chatwal last year which is in comparison a very formal experience. The National is a grand cafe in midtown which had an extremely buzzy atmosphere at lunchtime despite it being -12 degrees in January! I love bistros as they [...]

Now things have immensely changed. There are lots of options and more independent places popping up. I do hope [...]

The staff is extremely welcoming and chatty [...]
