Neither will hopeful waiting on 50 per\u00adcent capacity while Gov. Cuomo twiddles his thumbs.<\/p>\n<p>They need our business \u2014 now. Here are a few salvation picks from me. Some are \u201ciconic,\u201d some merely charming and some sweetly warm as only family-run businesses can be. They\u2019re all in Manhattan, because its restaurant scene has suffered more than in the other boroughs, due to quiet office and entertainment districts and the migration of some big spenders to the suburbs.<\/p>\n<p>Go to these places. Spend big. Pray they\u2019ll still be with us when the nightmare ends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shun_Lee_Palace\"><\/span><strong>Shun Lee Palace<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(155 East 55th St.) The grand dame of Manhattan \u201cluxury\u201d Chinese restaurants, nearly a half-century old, is doing only takeout\/delivery right now. The sidewalk\u2019s too narrow for outdoor dining, and management wasn\u2019t willing to operate indoors on 25 percent capacity. The elegant eatery founded by Michael Tong, whose family still owns it, introduced Hunan cuisine and orange chicken to New York. It deserves 50 more years.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Westside_Restaurant\"><\/span><strong>Westside Restaurant<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(2020 Broadway at 69th Street) and <strong>Red Flame Diner<\/strong> (67 West 44th Street): The pandemic has killed off many classic Big <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App<\/a>le diners and coffee shops, but both of these Greek American-family-managed places soldier on with indoor and outdoor seating. The Westside\u2019s landlord lists it as available, though the owner denies he\u2019s closing. The Red Flame lost much of its clientele to the Midtown \u201cghost town.\u201d Show them love \u2014 and cash.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Harrys\"><\/span><strong>Harry\u2019s<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(One Hanover Square) This classic steakhouse, owned by the Poulakakos family, had a $1 million redesign a few years ago, but it has all the spirit of the 1972 original. Its warm, clubby confines and top-grade beef have always drawn Wall Street dealmakers and tourists, as well as the neighborhood\u2019s more recent influx of families and singles who call FiDi home. But nearby offices are mostly empty, and tourists scarce.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chez_Napoleon\"><\/span><strong>Chez Napoleon<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(365 West 50th St.) and <strong>Pergola Des Artistes <\/strong>(252 West 46th St.). These atmospheric, family-owned bistros date back to the early 1960s, when French sailors still came ashore from the Hudson River piers. Like their neighbors, they\u2019re hurt by the Broadway-theater shutdowns and a paucity of tourists. Their cozy dining rooms and warm service make you forget the desolation outside.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blvd_Bistro\"><\/span><strong>Blvd. Bistro<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(2149 Frederick Douglass Boulevard), for chef Carlos Swepson\u2019s \u201ccrafted American soul.\u201d and <strong>Lolo\u2019s Seafood Shack<\/strong>, \u201cwhere the Caribbean meets Cape Cod,\u201d are Harlem favorites that would love to have you.

The cafeteria-style eatery feels like a late 1940s luncheonette in a black-and-white movie, with friendly staff behind steam tables and customers gulping inexpensive dishes at tiny tables. It\u2019s always been more popular with Midtown office workers than with tourists. But most of the offices in the tall skyscrapers around it are still empty, so Margon can use every new mouth it can get.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Redeye_Grill\"><\/span><strong>Redeye Grill<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(890 Seventh Ave.), and <strong>The Russian Tea Room<\/strong> (150 West 57th St.) Both longtime New York institutions drew on customers headed for or leaving Carnegie Hall, which is almost on their doorsteps. But Carnegie Hall is dark until some time next year. The Tea Room is 92 years old, the Redeye a mere toddler at 25. Both have seen the passage of history, and a cavalcade of celebrities, through their doors. Redeye serves indoors and on a gracious patio overlooking the sidewalk, the Tea Room indoors only. The more of us who go, the better the chances they will emerge from this harrowing season stronger and better than before.\n            <\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/21\/you-can-help-save-these-classic-nyc-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#You can help save these classic NYC restaurants&#8221; Lockdowns and draconian rules are killing Gotham\u2019s restaurants.
