If you’ve watched any reality TV in the last few years (don’t pretend you haven’t), you’ve definitely heard of the The Ivy. While the name conjures up images of a tranquil spot in the middle of a country, all white wicker and growing vines – the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. The Ivy sits in one of the world’s most bustling cities. While there you’re likely to run into some of Hollywood’s hottest – Sienna miller, Kelly Osbourne, and Kristin Cavallari are among the young stars who count The Ivy as favorite of theirs. And you’ll definitely run into a paparazzo or two, as there’s a perpetual wall of flashing lights outside The Ivy’s infamous doors.
This eatery’s menu earns as much acclaim as its clientele: the menu is heavy on seafood – from tuna tarare to lobster ravioli – but of course in the city of size zeroes, the salads are the main attraction. And if you’re there, you absolutely can’t eave without sampling one of The Ivy’s famous gimlets – iced tea with mint is available for teetotalers.
