Good luck. I tried it once and the smell almost knocked my head off.
Most Romantic table in NYC?
I would stay away from Allen and Delancey. I ate there last week and I was extremely disappointed.
First Time in NYC-Looking For Restaurant Recommendations!
I was hesitant to go as well but I figured we would give it a try anyway. We loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. The food wasn't terrible, it just wasn't as good as it could've been. You can just tell the restaurant is a little off kilter.
If you haven't been to FORGE, I highly recommend that you visit. The food and service were fabulous.

I wanted to thank everyone for their recommendations, my boyfriend and I had a fabulous time in the city. I'll write a more detailed review later but we went to FORGE, Lamazou, Allen & Delancey and the Dumpling House. We loved everything but Allen and Delancey, unfortunately the service and the food were lacking.

I would like to go to EMP but I was told that jeans would not be appropriate. I will definitely check into eating there for lunch.

Well I've started to make my reservations but I still have a few holes here and there.
Tuesday we're going to go eat lunch at Laut and then we have dinner reservations at FORGE. Thursday night I have made reservations for Allen and Delancey, but I think I may change them because I've heard some mixed reviews since Ferguson left, any suggestions? Then, Friday we have lunch reservations for Olana.
I would really love to go to EMP but to make a long story short I am only going to have jeans with me for the trip.
We still need a place to get an early dinner on Wednesday/NYE around Madison Square Garden and somewhere to get lunch on Thursday. We're planning on going shopping on New Years Day, so any suggestions for places around 5th Ave/Madison Ave?
Thanks everyone!

I've read mixed reviews about Asia de Cuba so I think we're going to pass on it. Thanks for the heads up.
I can't wait to go to Spitzer's, they have some great beers there.

You guys have been awesome so far.
I have another question, what are your thoughts on Asia de Cuba? I really like that type of cusine but I've heard mixed reviews.

Wow, this thread has taken off.
I have actually been to New York City quite a few times as I lived in the Hudson Valley for about 6 months. It is my boyfriend who has never been to the city. I've used Zagat's but I'd prefer get opinions from people because I feel you can get better recommendations.
I do have two more questions though. Where would be a good place to get breakfast? And of course, real NY pizza?

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. The help has been much appreciated.

Do you think nice jeans and a nice collared shirt would be acceptable?

I think we'll definitely go to Eleven Madison Park. What is the suggested attire or what can you get away with wearing there?

Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I asked my boyfriend about our budget and instead of $100pp for dinner, we're going to raise it to 150-175pp. So that may give us a few more options for a nicer dinner.
One more thing, we're planning on going to a concert at MSG for NYE. Any suggestions for an early-ish dinner?

We're pretty much open to go to any neighborhood within the city. As for cuisines we like Mexican, Asian (Korean BBQ, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Dim Sum), and French. We would like to have one nice dinner (100/pp w/o drinks), one prix fixe lunch, a few bargain places and then some mid range places. I hope that helps..

My boyfriend and I are going to be in NYC from Dec 30-Jan 2 and we'll be staying at the Carlton Arms hotel which is on the corner of 25th St and 3rd Ave. I wouldn't call us foodies but we love good food and all cuisines. We're looking for some recommendations of places we must go to while we're in town, whether it be street carts, a little hole in the wall or a gourmet restaurant. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!
