If it's on the menu, don't miss the charcoal-grilled veal sweetbreads, served with steamed slices of baguette and pickled onion.

"This popular haunt has been baking fluffy focaccias for 20 years...this is also one of the city's few restaurants to flout Passover restrictions on eating leavened dough. "

There are many toppings (don't miss the black-olive spread), and some tasty starters (try the fried mushrooms stuffed with goat's cheese or the fried calamari).

"This kosher cousin of the popular Downtown restaurant welcomes you with a large display of fresh vegetables and an open taboon oven where the focaccias are baked."
