I went to Pound & Pence for the one (and only) time a couple of months ago, and will NOT be going back, even though it is right across from my office. I went with a few girlfriends at lunch and they were not at all helpful in trying to seat us at one table (there were six of us). Finally when the 6 of us SQUEEZED into 1 booth, we didn't see our waitress for a long time. We had to wait over 20 minutes for water - and this is on our lunch hour! When our food finally did come, it was okay but nothing to write home about.

This a la carte steakhouse has some fantastic steak and great side dishes to accompany it. The steaks are absolutely huge - the full size of a dinner plate. I go here often, about 4-5 times a year, and always enjoy my food.
The one drawback is the acoustics of the restaurant - it is quite loud as many of the patrons are in large groups. Definitely not a place for an intimate night out! But the food is great, if quite expensive and the service is IMPECCABLE. I have never had such accomodating waiters at a NYC restaurant - very friendly and willing to do anything to ensure that you are happy.

This store is quite unique and a definite New York experience. They have a great deli and bread selection and large amounts of delicious home-made prepared foods.
However, to go in this store is an utter madhouse. Store likes this are what give New Yorkers a bad name - everyone is mad and pushing everyone else.
If you can get past the mean crowd this store has some great specialities you can't find elsewhere. There is also a great selection of appliances and kitchen gear upstairs for quite reasonable prices.

This liquor store has a great selection of wines - as well as wine wrappers. Great if you are running out for a house party, etc. where you need a quick gift. They have huge displays of wine - floor to celing. It is almost overwhelming but nice to have such a large selection. The sales people are very friendly as well. Of course, they also have your run of the mill selection of liquors.

The food was great Chinese food - not at all greasy or "sketchy", but the service was less than perfect. We had to ask for things our waiter had forgotten several times, and when brought, the items were not always correct. However, for a restaurant in the Times Square area, the food and service were above par, since not much can be expected there. The food was always reasonably priced and there was a very large menu to choose from, and you had the option with almost every dish to choose chicken, beef, or tofu.

I have only been to bliss for a 75 minute massage that was a birthday gift, but it was one of the best experiences of my life. The whole atmosphere from check-in to leaving was great - the employees totally make it seem like they are only there to serve you. Everything there is spotless and gorgeous bright white.
The massage I had was wonderful - I don't know if I have ever felt so relaxed in my whole life! The 75 minutes passed so quickly. I felt relaxed for the next couple days.
Bliss is definitely pricy and this is not an everyday treat, but a great present or something to do for a special occasion.

The food here is great and comes out quite quickly. The restaurant is a little loud and sometimes it is hard to hear across the table, but it is a quick enough and delicious enough meal that those qualities outweight the noise.
The portions are super large (very unlike NYC restaurants) and the food is very inexpensive. The restaurant has a ton of seating so you never have to wait more than 10-15 minutes for a table, even on a Friday night. The groups of people outside are proof of how good this place is! I take all my friends and relatives from out of town here and everyone loves it. Truly delicious Vietnamese food.

I love love love this restaurant. It has some of the best food and service on the Upper West Side, and the atmosphere is fabulous. The restaurant itself is fairly small but with all booths, it is great for a date or for catching up with friends. It is never too noisy and I have never had to wait to be seated. The food is excellent and there is a wide variety to choose from - from snadwiches, salads, pastas, breakfast food. I have never had anything here I didn't like, and they are very accomadating to changes to the menu items. Oh, and the desserts are out of this world!
