DBGB

Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen
“The diner is everybody’s kitchen.” Richard Gutman Eatery: Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen, 23 East 23rd Street, New York, NY I spotted the Port Authority location of this restaurant and immediately wanted to try it.

Gravy
“Madam, I have been looking for a person who disliked gravy all my life; let us swear eternal friendship.” Sydney Smith Eatery: Gravy, 32 East 21st Street, New York NY Yep, that’s right – I detest gravy (the sauce).
