Source Context

Island (uptown) has pretty waspy food, which is to say - not great. The lychee martinis are good (strong) and the people watching is excellent insofar as, this is not a spot to see and be seen, but rather a place where Upper East Side ladies gather by habit for a daily casual lunch. The interior is nautical, but it avoids being kitschy (we’re on an ocean liner, not a cruise ship). Most patrons here are between middle and elder age, which bodes well to a certain kind of restaurant experience, and one I find myself often seeking, particularly within the confines of a holiday as annoying as Valentine’s Day.

Villa Mosconi: My boyfriend pointed this spot out to me on a walk a few weeks ago, absolutely thrilled by its run down exterior, cozy bar, and Soprano’s-Style dining room visible through slightly dirty windows. Also thrilling is its proximity to Tiro A Segno - the mysterious Italian sportsman club with a basement shooting range. “The club did not provide details on how it obtained the firearm permit,” says New York Post, alongside an image of said basement shooting range, appearing to be decked in the colors of the Italian flag.
