Julia & Bennett
Our Favorite NY Spots
upstate craft beer & oyster bar
Julia's favorite restaurant in NYC - delicious seafood, pastas and craft brew beers. Great oyster and beer happy hour 4-7pm. The salmon tartare, seafood risotto, and fettuccini clam are musts. Reservations can be made on yelp. No more than 6 people for a reservation as the restaurant only seats 24 total.
Wolfgang's Steakhouse
Bennett's favorite restaurant in the city. Reservations can be made on opentable. The ribeye with sides of German potatoes and creamed spinach are his go tos.
Hillstone
A local haunch and favorite for the couple. Reservations for the dining room can be made on their website but you can always grab a seat at the bar. While the menu differs (sushi and apps only at the hightop), they make a mean dirty gin martini with blue cheese olives in all locations. Unfortunately, the grilled artichokes will not be in season but the artichoke dip will be on both menus.
P.J. Clarke's
Our neighborhood haunch for a burger and martini. Sidecar is where Bennett had his 25th birthday and also where Bennett threw the surprise engagement gathering!
Pete's Tavern
Bar on Irving Place near Bennett's bachelor pad apartment where Julia and Bennett would frequently grab a night cap early in dating.
JG Melon
Julia and Bennett would frequent this UES establishment for a burger and martini - Cash Only
Barry's East 64th
Work Out Class - One of Julia's favorite classes. A 45 minute class consisting of interval sprints on a treadmill and weights on the floor.
