French Restaurants in Manhattan

Manhattan is famous for many things and one of them is the abundance and quality of their French restaurants. One thing you will notice is the great differential in prices. For instance the French restaurants in neighborhoods such as the Upper East and West Side tend to be on the high end of the scale, while if you go to a neighborhood such as Greenwich Village you can get an excellent meal for a more moderate price. One of the considerations for this is the fact that the ones in the Upper east and West Sides tend to have more ambiance, and they have the classic French Cooking. But dining at one of them is an experience everyone should have at least once. Bon Appitte
