Continental
PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended
The jampacked Continental has comfy booths lit by overhead lights that resemble olives. It serves burgers, pad Thai, lobster mashed potatoes, and salads bigger than most beehives, plus 15 (most of them sugary) cocktails served in martini glasses (some, like the sugar-rimmed "champagne-a-rama," and the Tang-y "Buzz Aldrin," seem custom-made for drinkers-in-training). It's a perfectly nice place for lunch -- and even an early dinner with the family. But this place really gets going after dark, when the volume goes up and drinks go down.
