 The ambitions of this small, stylish spot are much more modest than at owner Gerald Hirigoyen's Piperade, but the food is as big in flavor. The lunch menu is mostly bocadillos, small but hearty sandwiches you order two at a time from a list of a dozen; at night, the menu is mostly tapas.... More >> |

 Sometimes billed as Boulevard's more casual, edgier spinoff, Prospect is more like a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, casual only to the moneyed classes. The dining room is so vast you could ride a pony up and down its aisles, and framed in Stonehenge-sized pillars, yet acres of browns and bronzes... More >> |
