Restaurants to try below 14th St.

New York Magazine always has a fantastic list of restaurants and reviews on their website that I refer to when I want to direct visitors to someplace special. What follows are some of their recommendations that sound like places I would like to try, all below 14^th Street. Will I? I hope so!  As usual, I find that my visitors often are more adventurous than I am in NYC—so let me know if you go to any of the following, and report back!
