The ultra-cool, sexy subterranean, celebrity favorite,  reservation only, heavily guarded door Brasserie known as La Esquina, is still one of the most stylish and chichi restaurants around. Dominating the Soho-Nolita area now for 5 years, nightlife entrepreneur Serge Becker, has managed to maintain a most loyal and hip clientele who keep coming back for more of his tasteful Mexican fare and heavenly margaritas. Even though getting a reservation is as hard as getting the NY Knicks to win one basketball game, be persistent and be nice and try to go on a quiet night. If all else fails, The Café and or Taqueria attached, offer delicious food as well sans the nightlife vibe.
