The maroon awning outside Five Points Restaurant hides one of downtown's hidden gems -- an American-Mediterranean gastro-haven whose menu changes seasonally, according to what chef-owner Marc Meyer can find is freshest at the market. The fall menu offers fire-roasted Maine razor clams, wood oven roasted Montauk squid, and Hudson Valley Duck Breast, a testament to why it's good to eat local food. At brunch, Five Points features sweet treats of lemon-ricotta pancakes, dulce de leche french toast, and then eggs rancheros from the wood oven as a savory specialty. With a small, meditative brook running down the center of the restaurant, a space accentuated by an abundance of natural wood and natural light, Gothamist suggests sitting down with a glass of wine, some good bread, and a plate of fire-roasted clams, as a relaxing way to reap the fruits of fall.
Five Points Restaurant is located at 31 Great Jones Street (between Lafayette & Bowery). (212) 253-5700.

Uhm, any chance that gothamist's camerin the kitchen a is going to leave great jones anytime soon? or are we going to get a look at alberts (né Emerald Planet) next week?
yes, the food is quite good, but management treats the waitstaff appallingly.
This doesn't jibe with what I've seen and heard, but I'm somewhat biased. The waiters tend to be there a long time, which would probably not be the case if they were being treated appallingly.
