Johnney’s Fish Grill: Boasting some of the stiffest drinks and biggest dishes in Manhattan, Johnneys at first sounds like a pudgy slice of the Midwest. Seeing it in the context of a big suburban-looking mall drives the image home even further. Tucked in a corner of the expansive World Financial Center food court, Johnneys is a glassy constellation of booths set around a sleek, oval bar. The menu is all fish and game, bringing Texas to mind and attracting financial sector carnivores in droves. Prices are very fair: Half a roasted free-game chicken runs $12.95, and the hanger steak is just under $16. But if youre going to come, come for the fish. There are daily seafood specials, including exotic treats like paella and the always satisfying sea bass. |
