La Bonne Soupe
I'm in Manhattan for work, and went to dinner last night at La Bonne Soupe. Wow. Their name really says it all. I had the best, most authentic, cheesiest, tastiest bowl of French Onion soup. I had to use my fork to get the cheese to disconnect (Gruyere, so you know it's real). The lamb chops for the main course were perfectly prepared (just the medium side of medium rare), and the chocolate mousse was like velvet.
According to the menu, they've been around since the early 70's, and live in the neighborhood. The place has a homey feel that doesn't feel like a contradiction to the quality of the food.
Just walking around last night, I spied tons of little local places I'd love to have time to check out, especially Astro's, which looks like the prototype for the greasy spoon. If you've eaten there, let us know how it is!
