This week Steve Cuozzo gives two stars to The Writing Room, which he likes much better than the iconic Elaine's that once stood in its place. He finds the atmosphere welcoming and the "crowd-pleasing" menu a far cry from his last meal at Elaine's, which was "grilled calamari I wouldn't serve to a death-row cat: smelly, gelatinous and cold."
