It might be hard to believe, but even in New York, there's no place quite like Casa La Femme, which has been in business for 25 years. Where else do some of Egypt's best belly dancers entertain night after night? Where else does a massive crystal chandelier hang above a floor of living grass? What's more, where else contains all that, and also serves hummus, crab-and-shrimp koftas, and rice-stuffed peppers that New York magazine's Hal Rubenstein described most succinctly as "magical." He wasn't alone. Zagat reviewers pinned the restaurant's decor at a 25 out of 30, and reviewers from the New York Times and NYCGo clashed only on if the decor or the food was more impressive.
