French comfort food. If the romantic mood strikes you, do take a stroll around Amsterdam Avenue (plus, you'll walk the guilt of having so much great food right off).

Hearty, Mexican food is served all day. I recommend any breakfast/brunch dish with a side of chilaquiles. I am also quite partial to their fideo seco and enchiladas verdes for lunch.

I've never actually been there (I'm not into seafood), but it's always packed so they must be doing something right.
