Ligaya Mishan visits one-year-old Upper East Side Mediterranean restaurant Amáli for her Hungry City review this week. Of her favorite dishes, Mishan writes: "Broccoli is an upstart on Amáli's mostly tranquil menu, an $11 side dish taking on the big-ticket items and winning. It is joined in rabble-rousing by eggplant ($14), which arrives in canted slabs arrayed like a fortress wall, with dollops of a burnt-orange-hued vinaigrette so thick and immobile, they might be mistaken in the candlelight for sea urchin."
