It's a small pic, so it was tough to tell, but it looked like a tongue was sticking out and hands were propping the cleavage up.
Maybe my mind is just in the gutter from sitting at my desk all day. :conf: |

Montrachet
239 W. Broadway (Walker and White)
Amazing French cuisine. Fantastic wine list as well, though many are costly. When we went, there was a $10,000 bottle and the majority were over $100, but they do have a 40 for $40 page in the thick book that is their wine list.
Amazing service and very knowledgeable sommelier. They gave us three free desserts for just barosoap and I, which capped off a great meal. Also part of the Myriad restaurant group that includes Nobu and Tribeca Grill. |

O:
Old Homestead: [14th St. & 9th Ave] probably my fave steakhouse in the city. my grandfather knew the owners back in the day, when the meatpacking district was actually used for packing meat, and we'd get hooked up. place has been hanging on since the 1880s. |

Former 80s hotspot (gets a mention in Brett Easton Ellis' American Psycho), that continues to serve good food, especially the frites. |

206 Spring St (6th Ave and Sullivan)
Exceptional Italian food/wine. I attended a private dinner held upstairs at this place and everything was top notch. It's another of the B.R. Guest Restaurants (Blue Water Grill, Dos Caminos, etc.)
