NIFR: NYC restaurant recs

DH and I are going to NYC this weekend to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary.  I was hoping to get some great restaurant recs from some of you!  Any great places to have breakfast, lunch and/or dinner?  We aren't picky eaters but don't like Chinese.  I think we'd like to go to at least one fine dining place while we're there but the other times it can be casual or business casual.  Thanks for any advice!

    CaVa is one of my favorites.  It is a Todd English restaurant.  We went there before a show and the food/atmosphere were excellent!

     

    After 1 IUI, 3 IVF's with CGH/CCS testing, 10 early miscarriages, and lots of tears and frustration, we are moving on to Domestic Infant Adoption!  We are so excited to see what the future holds.

  • is there are particular part of the city/neighborhood you are interested in?

  • Rosa Mexicano has the best tableside guacamole ever! Yummy entrees too :) If you like good cheap BBQ I don't think you can go wrong with Dallas BBQ . Bryant Park Grill has a great brunch and lunch too. Have fun and enjoy!

  • We send all of our friends to Otto.  it's mario batali, but it's casual (well nyc casual).  It has fancy pizza, cheeses, pastas, and lots to share.  Everyone loves it.

    Any specific hoods u want to be in?

    For fine dining, do u mean "really fine" like 300$ a head...or just a nice/dressy meal out?  If u mean the latter....I suggest Blue Water Grill.  It's seafood, american fare, classic new york.  Sex and the city used to film there a lot.  DH and i went on our first date there :)  And we also take our parents there...so it's very nice.

    Five Points has my fave brunch!  It's awesome, but DEF make reservations!  U still need them for brunch.

    I'd call and make ur reservations ASAP.  Have the BEST time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Not sure what your favorite foods are, but there's an awesome cute little place in chinatown/little italy...Cafe Katja...It's an austrian/hungarian place, food is PHENOMENAL, felt like I was at a family dinner, DH surprised me with dinner there a few years ago for my birthday, and just took me back for our anniversary...we love it there! great selection of beers and wines too...dress is casual, it's a great place!

  • My husband and I went to someplace called Alta for our anniversary dinner when we were in NY. A friend recommended it to me, it is a non-traditional tapas place. Kind of like interesting- fusiony small plates. It was amazing, we loved every bite and it was cool because we were able to order like 6 or 7 things to sample. It was not too pricey either (for what you are getting.) Have fun!

  • Casualish, I love JANE in the West Village.  They have an amazing toasted ricotta gnocchi that I dream about (it was actually on "Best Thing I Ever Ate")  It's also a really fun area to walk around in.

    Fancy: Daniel.  It is by far my favorite restaurant in the city if you can get in. Get the braised short ribs, trust me :)  If you can't get in there, I also love Balthazar.  The food is consistently excellent and there are always celebrities there, which is neat if you aren't in the city all the time. And that's another area that's fun to walk around.
