Auntie Clarita & Uncle Mariano took us out for dinner on their last full day in New York. Since it was a Thursday night, the dinner crowd was comfortable and I got to try a new place. My parents have been to City Café before for lunch. I've never tried it, but used to come to this location a lot back when Sweet 'n Tart was in business. City Café is a much different style of restaurant, most noticeable with the price range. Sweet 'n Tart had small portions and high prices. This place has OK portions (all of our dishes were a good size except the lobster) with very low prices. This is probably one of the best bang for buck Chinese restaurants in the area. The dinner prices are pretty close to what youd pay for a lunch takeout.
The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, although one might not think that when looking at the outside. The service was above average, but I lowered the score a bit because they didn't change our plates and didn't have an English menu. For more details on the dishes, visit the Picasa album.
Auntie Clarita & Uncle Mariano enjoyed their stay in NY and got pretty good at the subway system as they went out to Manhattan for most of the days. They covered more ground than most of our previous visitors from the Philippines. Like true Ne Yorkers, they walked around a lot too. Hopefully they can join the next group event... another possible cruise in 2010?
