New York: Where to Eat: Hot Spots: The Darby

The Darby

The upstairs dining area of this hot spot is modeled after an old-fashioned supper club. The food is a throwback–think pork shanks and rack of lamb–and is tasty, but patrons come for the atmosphere and the nightly Jazz performances. An ideal late-night spot, the restaurant doesn’t normally fill up until after 10:30pm and there is a downstairs club where you might spot such celebs as Leonardo DiCaprio.
