And I also know the area well, and I was non-plussed by the "fabulous eats, and, today, at reasonable values" comment. Gino's is at Lexington Avenue and 60th, on the border between the Upper East Side and Midtown East. Lots of rich people and tourists. This is pretty much ground zero for overpriced, mediocre restaurants (OK, the Times Square area, but my experience is that the restaurants around there are outright bad, not just overpriced). There are good expensive places and some OK not terribly expensive places, but Gino's is a rarity in terms of price and food quality.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-57962514302000587322010-01-04T15:02:09.475-05:002010-01-04T15:02:09.475-05:00The food at Gino's is just fine, and there are...The food at Gino's is just fine, and there are several dishes we look always look forward to having when we visit. It's always crowded when we go (usually around 9:00-10:00 PM on a Saturday night), and no one is complaining about the food. Or the room. They're just happy to be there. As will I, now that I can return.<br /><br />I DO have many locks of silver hair! Perhaps that is why I understand the need for places like Gino to exist! Gino is not Le Cirque! Never was.

I worked around the corner for years and, unless you know Gino personally, owned a lock of silver hair (under 'Just For Men' brown), or have a fetish for nostalgia laden eateries, there are better meals and values just around the corner (any direction). Nostalgia is good but John Q. first wants memories of fabulous eats, and, today, at reasonable values. Bottom line: Gino's needs some gustatory upgrades. Le Cirque did it, they can.Dr Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114883210978869050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-57831328416663632332010-01-04T08:16:59.177-05:002010-01-04T08:16:59.177-05:00Nice account, Jeremiah.
