Dear Perfect Muse

I am having an out-of-town guest come visit from California. I want to take him to the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and a tour around Battery Park. Any suggestions for where we shall dine?

Dear JP,

Sounds lovely! There are more and more restaurants popping up in Battery Park. Here are our favorites starting from the lowest end of Battery Park:

1. Battery Gardens - call ahead as they are often closed for private parties but the place is gorgeous - you will feel like you are in Miami but still have the fabulous Hudson view.

2. SouthWest - fabulous outdoor seating (both in a lounge area and at tables), basic Latin food, and they serve a bucket filled with bottled beer on ice!

3. Steamer's Landing - great casual American seafood with outdoor seating. Order the catch of the day.

4. The Ritz-Carlton - American bistro in a great setting. Have a drink at the bar, pretend to be a tourist, and talk to the bartender about his favorite spots in the city.

5. Pan Latin Cafe - This female chef serves nutritious, organic, fair-trade Latin food. Though the setting is cute, grab your food to go and sit on the grass.
