Your Choice! Country Charm or Mexican oasis!

Elizabeth's Neighborhood Table bills itself as an "urban farmhouse" complete with wraparound veranda (there's a picket fence and a swing, too). The menu of comfort food uses organic and seasonal ingredients, of course; even the cocktails could be described as "vegetable-forward." Located on 93rd st. and Columbus Ave. www.elizabethsnyc.com

Gabriela's Restaurant and Tequila Bar provides the upper west side with a fantastic place to celebrate and enjoy friends and family. Cross through the authentic Mexican Mission style door and enter an upper west side oasis while dinning on what has been called "Some of the best Mexican Food in NYC".A well-stocked tequila bar and an attractive sidewalk patio contribute to a party-town sensibility.
