Rumor has it this place is going to close, or change. It might be time. The location, in JP Morgan's old penthouse, couldn't be more scenic. The bar is always lively, and the lunch crowd is there. But at dinner, they are near-empty. The menu is very standard. There are some good deals in the prix fixe. I took a group there, and they pushed expensive water and wine to the max, resulting in a very high tab for a quite mediocre (and sloooooowly served) meal.

Don't be fooled by the title: you can get everything in this small, neighborhood place. The bins outside have hardcover books at bargain prices, and inside is a thoughtful collection of fiction, travel books, contemporary stuff, and lots of non-fiction. The staff is helpful, and there's always some author-type floating around to give it more ambience.

The West Village isn't a likely place for good Chinese food, and Hunan Pan is about the best I've found. The fried shrimp and fried squid are great. They know how to cook vegetables well, and the 7 day a week lunch special can't be beat. The do a nice job with pork and lamb, too. Basil fish is a special dish. The Japanese side of the menu is not much better than supermarket quality: only get it if you are desperate. And there are times when delivery in 10 minutes and reasonable prices make you desperate....

Fish looks like something on the North Shore: fish shack chic, with cute young servers, a casual vibe, and wonderful fresh oysters and clams. They have a special (currently $8) that gets you six of the delightful bivalves and a glass of wine or beer. The rest of the seafood-based menu is fine, and the place always seems full. Young crowd mixes with tourists on Bleeker St. for a lively mix.

Tomoe delivers high quality sushi and is fabulous for take out. In the restaurant, though, expect ridiculously long lines, tight seating, harried servers, and all the ambience of a sushi shack. The tempura is surprisingly good, too. Appetizers are interesting and vary with season. This seems to be a young and Asian crowd, for the most part, though everyone eventually waits to try the Tomoe experience.

Here's why I love Da Andrea. The young owners have a fresh attitude toward food, making fabulous pastas, wonderful seafood (try the octopus and the calamari), and always fresh fish. The prices are totally reasonable, and the atmosphere, if a bit crowded, is pleasant and informal. The lamb shank is worth getting, but the other meats are take or leave in my opinion. Small dessert list is good. The wine list isn't profound, but this isn't a profound restaurant: it's just buonissimo!
