Fodor's Expert Review Continental Restaurant & Martini Bar
$$
Old City
Eclectic
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Light fixtures fashioned like olives pierced with toothpicks are a tip-off to the theme at this cool watering hole that's installed in a classic diner shell in the center of Old City's action. The first of Stephen Starr's trendy restaurants, the Continental serves lively (but not outré) food in generous portions to people who know how to enjoy it. Don't miss the addictive Szechuan French-fried potatoes with hot-mustard sauce and the crispy calamari salad.
