Bad Service ( - illcusoon rates it 2 out of 10) - It's sad to say that the service was what did it to me. I enjoyed my margarita and my crabcakes but the bartender was incredibly inattentive, paying attention more to the business attired males at the bar and not to me and my friend. She… ...read more

Music Theme Restaurant ( - Diane D rates it 6 out of 10) - This restaurant uses vinyl record theme and plays loud rock music. It seems a little out of place on Manhattan's upper east side.

Tasty Brunch, Cheap, Quick, Great Atmosphere ( - cobraman332 rates it 8 out of 10) - I usually eat breakfast/brunch at the diner a few blocks east, but Vynl provides a little bit of atmosphere.

MX Co

	Mx Co Should Do Just Fine - MXco is a new Mexican restaurant on the Upper East Side, opened by the same team behind Hell’s Kitchen in Clinton. It is large and friendly, presenting some of the game-day bonhomie of a college-town sports bar. The crowd is largely made up of vaguely jockish neighborhood residents of both sexes, along with young families. Every so often an adventuresome older person wanders in, smiling faintly at all the noise. The music runs to hits of the 1970s and ’80s and more, as at a theme wedding with a cash bar. The food is not quite uninspired. It isn’t dazzling. But there is a decent guacamole ($8) for fresh, warm tortilla chips, plainer than many and welcome for that: it tastes of avocado and lime. Nachos and quesadillas are of a piece ($10 to $15). They are of no particular virtue beyond being fresh.
