Lunch near the Metropolitan Museum on a Saturday?

Question

We will coming to NYC to see the JAR exhibit at the Met on a Saturday. There will be six adults and we can walk to a restaurant nearby. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Answer

You don't mention any preferences, but it's my neighborhood and I love a few places on Madison between 92nd and 93rd: Pascalou and Le Paris for French bistro and Paola's for elegant Roman cuisine. Cafe d'Alsace is also convenient to the Met and very good. For something a bit fancier Cafe Boulud is wonderful. Best to reserve for all. Do a search on this board and you'll find other options. BTW: The JAR exhibit is fabulous!

Answer

Persepolis is a Persian restaurant on 2nd between 73rd and 74th. I especially like the chicken stew (khoresht fesenjan) but everything I've had there is good.
An added bonus is that they are open all day starting at noon, so you can eat there at odd hours. They have a lunch special from 12-6 of two courses for $17, a bargain in that neighborhood.

Answer

Untitled at the Whitney Museum
Ristorante Rosi
Cafe Sabarsky at the Neue Galerie (or Cafe Fledermaus downstairs - same menu, no line)

Answer

Thank you all for your help. I made a reservation at Le Paris but am keeping all other suggestions for future visits. Thanks for responding.
