Where Celebs Go Out: Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Wesley Snipes
[25. Gregory Jbara: The Standard Grill right now is open now till four o'clock
in the morning, and they have a phenomenal menu. They have great waitstaff and
you can always get a great meal, after the rest of the town is shut down. I'd
recommend the oysters. They have a phenomenal selection of east-coast oysters.
Also, they serve an appetizer of dried-crust cheese with English radishes. And you
look at it on the table and you go, 'What am I supposed to do with that—plant a garden?!'
And then you taste it, and you go, 'This is a brilliant, original way to start a meal.'
Corner Bistro has the best burgers, but, if you want the best glass of wine and want
to sample wines, you go to Dell'anima, which is down just south of 14th on 8th Avenue.]
