Vertigo

New York, NY 10036

Jennifer M. writes: I had a blast at this place. However, here are my gripes:  the cover was $15.00, and drinks were outrageously expensive (okay, I'm not really used to or down with spending $9.00 for a glass of crappy house wine).

68 Clinton Street
New York, NY 10003

camilla c. writes: I'll have to be in the minority here with my rating & review of Falai.  This is yet another case where I could use a half star since it's more like a 3.5 on the Yelp scale but I'll go with a 3 due to a few factors:

Uva Wines

Famous Fish Market
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Harlem

684 Saint Nicholas Avenue
New York, NY 10030

Heather H. writes: Yummilicious.  

Famous Fish Market isn't one of those places that you first walk into on a whim, because it's kind of nondescript and tiny.  You could walk by it a number of times without noticing it, and that's part of it's charm.  It's like that…
