Granted this Mediterranean/Italian
joint isn't the easiest place to get to, but it's well worth a stroll
down to Avenue B to chow on some reasonably inexpensive, tasty grub.
Despite the fact you may end up sitting in your neighbor's lap, the
restaurant's space is pleasant (if not cramped), and the decibel level
makes it always seem like a party. As with a lot of these little,
out-of-the-way restaurants, the annoying tourist/B&T crowd is nowhere
to be seen, and you and your date can enjoy yelling over the din in
peace. Oh, the desserts are not to be missed. Funny story: when first
going there, we thought the name of the place was La Vagna. All night
we kept looking at the name and laughing, thinking how much fun we
could have by penciling in an innocent "i" between the "g" and "n"
on the front of one of the menus. Okay, it's not funny, just amusing.
