43. Alias
Now that the pioneering 71 Clinton Fresh Food and aKa Café have closed their doors, Alias is the sole survivor of the restaurant family that made Clinton Street’s culinary name. Maybe that’s because the prices are low enough and the menu flexible enough to keep the locals coming back.

plus top 5 brunch and prix fixe spot.

"There’ll be multiple Da Vinci chips, but one of the first ones we announced has for instance 10/100Mbps Ethernet, on the chip. It also has USB 2.0 on the chip, and an LCD driver. So if you’re thinking of making a portable media player, for instance, and you’re thinking of giving it network connectivity, Da Vinci would allow you to do that very easily, with a minimal number of chips."
