I live in LA and always make sure to visit Grey Dogs when I'm in NY. It is cozy and has great food for great rpices. The employees are quick, but careful. They are also polite and helpful. Seating is tight, but hey, it's NY! Beware of the occasional egghead trying to cut in line or save a table out of order. The pea soup is wonderful as is the olive bread.
Pros: polite employees, great value, gourmet & fresh
Cons: a bit crowded
