Sarabeth'sThe highly regarded restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner and have received accolades from critics and customers alike. Sarabeth's reputation for making incredibly delicious breakfast dishes served with still warm croissants, muffins, pastries and breads and her luscious jams, are renowned.Paola'sFabulous Upper East Side Italian restaurant is one of the city?s best-kept secrets. The fresh pasta served here is perfect, cooked to just the right texture, and the Bolognese sauce?"a flavorful mix of beef and veal ragu?"is succulent. Less traditional pastas include the ravioli zucca (squash ravioli). Finish your meal with a deliciously rich ricotta cheesecake and a surprisingly flavorful decaf espresso.
