Pascalou

The NYC weather forecast for the rest of the day is for a wintry mix of rain and snow with temperatures hovering just above the freezing mark. On days like this, we like to think about classic French comfort food like cassoulet, beef bourguignon, and bouillabaisse. Pascalou, on the Upper East Side, specializes in these French favorites and their cozy (some might say crowded) atmosphere and friendly service will warm you up, too. We also like their practice of offering a bottle of well-priced house wine each night - and with times being what they are, their $19.95 prix-fixe specials are just what the neighborhood needs.
