Newly expanded, Lenox Saphire offers it all – dining, cocktails, live music and an adjoining authentic French patisserie kicking out baked goods and treats. Here is where you learn to become a bon vivant. Merci beaucoup!

If you enjoy eating with your hands, spicy foods or the combination go to this family run Eritrean and Ethiopian restaurant. For 25 years they have been making traditional dishes for hungry patrons. Roll up your sleeves and dig in!  

Here is a restaurant that cut its teeth downtown in Gramercy Park for years before finding a second home here in Harlem on 139th street. The cousin-chefs/owners celebrate an amalgamation of tastes from their native West African roots with French cookery and Mediterranean simplicity. Taste for yourself!

The exotic spices of Ethiopia fill the air here where dishes like doro alitcha (chicken stew), yebe alitcha (marinated lamb) and an assortment of veggie platters are must-tries.
