Avra should be your go-to if you’re in the mood for great fish and attentive service in an upbeat, chic environment. The stylish resto in midtown features Greek favorites and Mediterranean specialties with a seafood focus. The two biggest draws for me are:
1. Al fresco dining
2. A wonderful selection of fresh fish on ice

I caught up with recording artist and Broadway star CHESTER GREGORY last week, and discovered that he’s quite the foodie. He’s currently starring in Whoopi Goldberg’s production of Sister Act as Officer Eddie Southers.
Chester recently wrapped up the National Tour of “Dreamgirls” the musical, where he received rave reviews for his portrayal of “James ‘Thunder’ Early”. The role won him a “Best Actor” award from Broadway World and a “Best Actors This Year” mention in the NY Post. He’s currently in the studio working on his sophomore release, writing with Dot Da Genius. This will be the highly anticipated follow up to his debut album entitled- “In Search of High Love”, which earned praise by Billboard Magazine as “An album of integrity and soul”.

Late Night At Lavo

The upbeat and bustling dining room at Lavo is fully stocked with lively peeps (a mix of old and young), a resident DJ and a vivacious vibe. The energy in the room is just as big as the menu. You’ll find Italian standards like Baked Clams, Chicken Parm, Pasta, Steak and Pizza. The food is good, and the club downstairs gets poppin’! All and all, Lavo is a good midtown option. I’ve been to Lavo many times and it never disappoints (the kitchen stays open till 1a and 3a on the weekend)!
We went to Lavo last night with Milwaukee Bucks Guard Brandon Jennings and he loved the food and atmosphere.
