Gorilla

The Meatpacking District favorite Gorilla is a massive restaurant divided in two: there's an animated bar area, also serving hearty snacks, and a more conventional restaurant. Most people opt for the 10- or 15-course tasting menus—don't worry, the dishes are small—but you can also have fun with the a la carte menu, consisting of dishes such as ravioli with escargots and sage, squid with garlic, brisket sliders, and cheeses, donuts, and pies for dessert.
