Cipriani Downtown
376 West Broadway

This socialite and international elite landmark located in Soho, is a more casual version of its uptown fancy Harry Cipriani restaurant that has been serving Uptown Park Avenue set for years. Not surprisingly then, it's also a celeb magnet with regulars like Zac Posen, Jared Leto, and Johnny Depp stopping at the venerable downtown location. The fare is somewhat Italian Nouveau but those that can and do get reservations don’t come here for the food as much as they do for the people watching and the superstar elbow-rubbing.

Attractively designed, with cream colored walls, caramel chairs, and oversized modern art, patrons love sitting back and taking in the semi-pretentious atmosphere as they sip on the restaurant's signature bellinis. The restaurant offers outdoor dining when the weather is agreeable, and they have an ultra-exclusive members only club upstairs. If you're a girl you're in. If you're not a girl, try and drop a name - unless of course, you're a member and friend of Mr. Cipriani himself. And if you're planning to visit this New York staple hotspot, knowing the boss certainly helps.
