You win my gratitude. It was delicious and I would definitely go there again. Thanks very much!
Virgil’s is great, but just for future reference, this time of year is Restaurant Week (which actually lasts longer than a week) in NYC: http://www.nycgo.com/restaurantweek
Restaurants that are normally pretty expensive offer $25 lunches and $35 dinners, both three courses. Check it out if you come back next year!
