The Upper West Side is becoming a veritable center of gastronomy. What with the Fatty Crab, the Shake Shack, and other downtown stalwarts making their way uptown to our fair neighborhood, it’s hardly necessary to go below 14th Street to eat any more.
A friend sent me to this modest eatery on Amsterdam between 84th and 85th streets. She said dining at Celeste was like a cheap escape to Italy. Well, not quite, though most of the wait staff is the real thing–Italians actually conversing in their mother tongue.
One more condo, one less neighborhood eatery.
Yesterday, I was looking for a light lunch. I strolled into Grandaisy Bakery, a tiny storefront on 72nd and Broadway, right next to Grey’s Papaya, the hot dog joint.
The Times today featured a story about how the number of restaurants offering seders is mushrooming. Some don’t get it right. They serve rugelach, which because they’re made with wheat, are a definite no-no.
