Viceroy Restaurant, 8th Avenue

Always packed with handsome Chelsea guys, Viceroy (160 8th Ave., 212-633-8484) is less notable for its food, which is perfectly fine but not necessarily anything to write home about, than for its saucy, scene-y ambience. The menu features a mix of tradtional and somewhat more innovative American dishes - crab cakes with caper aioli, honey-roasted ham-and-Brie sandwiches, turkey burgers, wild mushroom ravioli with truffle oil, roasted organic half chicken. It's along a stretch of 8th with a number of gay-popular restaurants, among them Nisos and Better Burger.
