Thank you for all the great suggestions! We'll be in NY Sat-Wed in July.
I'm thinking we'll got Spice Market on Saturday night,
Perry St for brunch on Sunday,
Minetta Tavern & Blue Note on Sunday night,
Monday Abe & Arthur's

Our husbands are going to the All-Star Game Tues night and the ladies will be dining solo. We are thinking of going to see Once at the Bernard Jacobs Theater on 242 west 45th street. Any suggestions for after dinner?

Also for lunches while we are there I was thinking of going to
Katz's and maybe a restaurant in Chinatown or Korea Town? Would love suggestions.

Hi,
I've read previous discussions but haven't been able to find any ideas. We are 3 couples in our 40's staying in the Meatpacking District and would love recommendations for great places to eat and have drinks in the general area. Any price range is ok. Love all kinds of foods. Looking for a true NY expericence.
thank you

I'm trying to plan our company Christmas party, does anyone have any suggestions for a fun place in the Houston area for a 45 person group?

Oh I forgot to mention Katz 21. It's mainly a steakhouse but I've had many good meals there.

I lived in Corpus for 8 years. Cafe Aeby is the best anniversary restaurant mentioned. But no, you will not find alot of fine dining here at least by big town standards.

What is your favorite restaurant in Chinatown? Not Dim Sum or noodles. What's your favorite dish there?

Already have the reservation, thanks.

Thank you, I am really looking forward to going to Babbo's. I just don't like taking them anywhere too formal or any place where they can't find anything on the menu to eat.

What is longish? Two hours? She could sit through that. I just worry that unless they make some simple pasta dish for her, there will be nothing on the menu for her to eat.

I am visiting NYC in July and have a reservation for Babbo's. My kids are 8 and 13 and are generally well behaved. My 8 year old daughter can be a picky eater, Will there be anything on the menu she can eat? Or will they serve a simple pasta dish for her?

Thanks kathryn that thread was very helpful.

My husband & I love fine dining and are planning a trip to NYC in July. The only problem is we are taking our two kids. My son is 13 and my daugher 8. They are well behaved but we are looking for great restaurants that are not so formal or stuffy that we might feel uncomfortable taking the kids to. We have theater tickets to Wicked so ideally one restaurant should be in the theater district and one in the Village, we are going to see Blue Man Group.
Thanks in advance.
