For something completely different, try this family-run Armenian spot for a touch of foreign intrigue and bargain-priced kebabs, lamb dishes, stuffed grape leaves, and other traditional Middle Eastern fare. Opened in 1969, Sayat Nova is now a pleasant anachronism in its chichi off-Mag Mile location.
