Gemma at The Bowery Hotel

Besides being the name of my bestie, I love the Gemma at the Bowery Hotel.  I don’t love that you cannot make a reservation with out being a guest of the hotel, but everything else I love. The food is yummy.  They have a great wine list and there is lots of good people watching.  The best part, I have to say is the decor.  I don’t frequent restaurants for just their decor but I am absolutely attracted to places based on how they inhabit the space.  Gemma does an excellent job of transplanting you to an old-world trattoria in Italy.

I recently met a girlfriend there and she thought she scored by getting a table rather quickly, but it was so close to the door, I nearly froze.  Nonetheless, our Italian, hottie waiter made up for it with his attentive service and great recommendations.  And he really was deliciously handsome with an accent to boot.  I was pleasantly surprised as I hadn’t heard too many good things about their service but still had to check it out.  I ordered the filet and was very pleased.  My friend ordered the chicken which is her fav and all was well.  I did think it was a little pricey but there isn’t much excitement that can be had in this precious city without dropping some notable cash.  The Bowery Hotel – 335 Bowery at 3rd Street
