Food Scene

The Simone

A “class act”, this “tiny” UES retreat pleases “adults” with “exceptional” French cooking and “spot-on” wine pairings in an “elegant” setting conducive to “civilized conversation”; though it’s “hard to get into”, “flawless service” is another reason it’s “worth the effort” – and the “splurge.”

Uva

“Beautiful food” and “beautiful people” collide at this “bustling”, “noisy” UES “date destination” delivering “delicious” Italian dishes and “wonderful wines”; an “enchanting” back garden, “decent” prices and “attentive” service secure its standing as a “neighborhood favorite.”

The Mansion Restaurant

The Mansion Restaurant has been owned and operated by the Philips family since 1945. Its founder, John Philips, was a Depression-era immigrant from a small village in Cyprus. Shortly after his arrival through Ellis Island, he found his first opportunity to build a new life as a restaurant worker. Just a few years later, John opened his own restaurant near Gracie Mansion, the mayor’s residence on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The Mansion quickly became a favorite neighborhood eating spot for families, singles, students, taxi drivers, and casual walk-ins. The restaurant began to gain a reputation for being a “home away from home,” serving the community from early morning until late at night
