Deep inside the recesses of Bloomingdale's flagship store on 59th Street in Manhattan is a gem of an upscale diner called Le Train Bleu. Located on the 6th floor and up a steep stairwell, the moment you hit the top, you're transported to another continent and another time. The decor is decked out to look like a high-end railway dining car - including the exterior "loading platform" and the windows looking out over the East River (okay, so now they look out over a skyscraper but let's not kill the visuals).
The waitstaff is fast and efficient and the menu finely French. The food was good, though a bit under-salted for me (which is highly unusual). The best part of the place, though, is that the late afternoons are quiet so conversation is easy and comfortable.
