A Crab Cake (when do you not want a crab cake?) and Veal and Porcini Meatballs (ditto, meatballs) graced the table. Sometimes you see the most interesting combinations of ingredients there, as opposed to typical protein, starch, veg combo entree. For the entrees we stuck with the appetizer menu-which is a move I recommend on a regular basis.

We started with salads-the Beet, Endive, & Walnut Salad and the Caesar Salad which both whet the appetite, in the totally expected and satisfying way. We couldn’t wait to dig into some standard fare, and they did deliver. (This was a welcome reward after enthusiastically over-cocktailing at The Aviary just moments before- see our story here). The no-nonsense American menu, plateware, and artwork all lend a comforting, nostalgic presence. Who To Take: Someone looking for a swell down-to-earth piano bar or that corporate (prime rib) person who’s not pretentious and appreciates a relaxed settingįormerly known as Bill’s Gay ‘90s (for 90 years, appropriately), its second takeover has brought it back to its roots. Well, Bill’s Townhouse falls into this category in the most splendid way. I will readily admit that I love classic NYC spots-that as you walk through the door you immediately feel as if you are walking into another era.
