Notes

Treat this one as a progressive meal rather than a single dinner: order one thing at each stop and keep walking. The route runs along 6th Avenue, so nothing is more than a few minutes from the last stop. Small kitchens change their hours often — if you are set on a particular stop, call ahead.

Hours and bookings can change — confirm with each stop before you go.
