Lonely Planet review

An epicenter for Chelsea boys, Elmo is a sexy scene with high ceilings, low lighting, cushy banquettes and a garage door-like facade that's opened to the street come spring and summer. The simple, comfort-food favorites - meatloaf, fried chicken, baked mac 'n' cheese (with added fontina and Gruyère), mussels (steamed in tequila) and big fresh salads - are consistently delicious. And so are the lovely looking waitstaff and clientele.

Elmo is on the big bandwagon of diners sporting a nightclub vibe (and it's got an actual clubby lounge, with a rotating performance schedule, in its basement).
