Eating: Manhattan



Two delicious choices near Central Park are Sarabeth's for brunch and Nocello's for dinner. Brunch at Sarabeth's is delicious, albeit a bit pricey (Pumpkin Waffle Topped with Sour Cream, Raisins, Pumpkin Seeds & Honey is $15.50) by Yankee standards. Nocello's is cozy, charming and reasonable, especially for the New York theater district and made for a lovely first anniversary dinner.
We found Sarabeth's through my daughter who works in Manhattan - Nocello's was recommended by our consierge.  I hear you won't wait for breakfast on a weekday but plan for a wait on the weekends at Sarabeth's. Always make reservations for these restaurants and choose their chef specials and you won't be disappointed.
