It's here that you'll find two great places for drinks, delicious food, and a place to rest your gallery going feet. Lidia's (101 W. 22nd) brings you world renowned Italian fare by famed chef and Manhattan restaurateur Lydia Bastianich. Serving up heaping amounts of food, (try the house fave "trio" which brings unlimited pasta to your plate) Lydia's is a great spot for the end of a Crossroads tour.

If you are in the mood for some stick-to-your-ribs-fare, head next door to the City Tavern, where their hearty grilled tenderloin and veal chops are the most popular on the menu. Not THAT hungry? The Tavern's old world bar serves up some great drinks--like the Moscow Mule and their yummie version of the Mojito. They also open up their patio during warm weather for drinks and appetizers, a First Friday fave.
