Lucien Review

May 27, 2002 Excellent meal at Lucien (First Ave. between First and Second St.) with special guests from L.A. tonight. It remains simply the best go-to bistro Below 14th for my money... Incredible steaks and filet mignon, plus tasty escargot... Caveat: one of our companions craved chicken liver, a treat that I'm told can be found at bistro Casimir on Ave. B, but few other places downtown... NB: appealingly plain new layout over at Citysearch NYC.
