I don't believe we ever went to Z's, sorry. Spaghetti in a box with awesome sauce? That might have been worth a special trip!

I don’t miss the food (which was good) as much as the ambiance, music, and late hours — seemed like a classy oasis to take a date, maybe late 80s/early 90s. A number of places mentioned had good food, but much like the excellent Dietrich’s, Othello’s brought a different vibe to the dining scene.
There was another East Broadway place around that time, about four blocks west of Barrett, that had excellent food, went there a number of times but cannot recall the name.
