HOME > Chowhound > Manhattan >   Plan B for Babbo?   We have an
11:15 reservation for 2 at Babbo on Thursday night, and are
considering other options. I'll call tomorrow and Thursday in
search of cancellations, and if nothing surfaces, we'll give the
walk-in option a try (although we likely won't be able to make
it there until 7:30 or 8:00, so I imagine it will be difficult
to get a walk-in at that time, no?).  So I'm wondering if
anybody has recommendations for a good Plan B in the
neighborhood. If we get to Babbo and it doesn't look like we'll
be able to get a walk-in, what is the best option in the
neighborhood to try?  Thanks for the help.    1. Click to Upload

Thanks very much. Recommendations for cuisine other than Italian
are welcome as well... we're more interested in a great meal
than specific cuisine.          1. re: notsochubbychubette
Chef Shea Gallante has left Cru, and there's been no word on a
replacement. I'd steer clear.
