Agave

With a cozy, intimate setting on a busy stretch of Seventh Ave South, Agave seeks to carve a niche for itself by offering updated Southwestern cuisine. New Yorkers have increasingly discriminating palates when it comes to southwestern American and northern Mexican cuisine, and Agave offers a nice lengthy menu to please both the novices and the experts. Although you'll find crepas, chilaquiles, and squash blossom tacos, much of the menu seems familiar to even the uninitiated, who will find steak, chicken and salads to their liking.
