Supper.I've found a restaurant in NY that embodies everything that French Quarter stands for: edgy, casual, genuine, imperfect and superb quality delivered by normal folks in a humble atmosphere.
It's a bit of a trip, being on the Lower East Side and all. By taxi or subway it's well worth the effort to get there. It's great, simple Italian food with no pretense and it comes to your table quickly and piping hot. I have to say that, for me, it's the best food-atmosphere combo in Manhattan. Fancy restaurants have their place, and I've eaten at many in New York, but for a truly tasty expression of ingredients, go to Supper.
Good wines by the glass, rotating day-of-the-week specials. Beware: cash only!
Check out their site, and head downtown, and let this blog know what you think.

Other New York restaurant tips from last week's trip: Prune, thumbs up; Bivio (on Hudson), thumbs down; August, thumbs up. And off the beaten track in Tribeca for lunch, La Petite Abeille, total thumbs up.
And hey, if you're bumming around the home furnishings zone of Tribeca, visit our Portland friends at Schoolhouse Electric. They just up and decided to open a showroom in Manhattan and, poof, they did it! Congrats to Brian and team on their beautiful space. Pop in and say hi to Keith, former Portlander, now New Yorker and homeroom manager. http://www.schoolhouseelectric.com/
