Adam Platt at New York says the Tipsy Parson, a Southern comfort restaurant in Chelsea, is losing focus. "Since this popular, consistently crowded restaurant opened, several of the more traditionalist southern-style appetizers and entrées appear to have been excised from the menu," Platt opines. "There were no chicken and dumplings available on my last visit, and the braised pork shank with chunky applesauce had been removed, in favor of an overbrined pork chop served with grits and braised cabbage." And Corsino, the latest from the Denton brothers ('inoteca), is just okay in Platt's eyes: "None of the pastas or entrées costs over $20, and most are competent in a serviceable, professional way, but not outstanding."

And Time Out's Jay Cheshes files on two new museum restaurants, The Wright in the Guggenheim and Robert in the Museum of Arts & Design. Each snags a mere two stars out of five: "The Wright, the slightly superior of these two ill-conceived restaurants, occupies the broom closet that last housed the museum’s humdrum café. The larger Robert, atop the Museum of Arts & Design, features much better views—across Central Park—but even less comfortable environs, with too many seats squeezed into a cramped space... At both museums, the decor outshines the food."
