Blue Ribbon Brasserie, New York City

The Blue Ribbon Brasserie Manhattan is the first and evidently the most popular restaurant of the Blue Ribbon restaurant group. While it's a veritable stop for food connoisseurs, it is also popular among professionals in Manhattan working late hours. The seafood dishes score well but the chicken, duck, pigeon and beef culinary creations are not far behind. The salads and soups are a nice way of rounding off the meal, and the desserts have you searching for excuses to celebrate. Obviously, given its popularity and limited seats, you ought to reserve before you head here during evening hours or simply wait. Some of the other branches you can check out include Blue Ribbon Brooklyn , Blue Ribbon Bakery and the nearby Blue Ribbon Sushi .
