Tennis, NYC and Food!
You'll get responses if you take the time to provide more details about what you like and want. NYC has literally THOUSANDS of dining options and so far you've asked for "fun" and "great places" which really doesn't help much.

Sunday is terrible - all 3.

The best ice cream in the US (reachable by JetBlue)
Your NYC list is horrible. I've lived here 18 years and only two are any good. and/or existent. I'm sure the NYC boards will be a big help to you.
Chinatown Icecream Factory, NYC
Cones, NYC

Il Laboratorio del gelato
Otto

Suggestions for dinner around Highline Ballroom
This is the best recommendation that is kinda hip and in your VERY LOW price range for cool and trendy in that area. You might be able to get tacos at the bar of Cabrito but that's not that close. Chelsea Market is not trendy and cool but close and within your price range. It's a gourmet market for the most part.

Suggestions Needed: Food for a Hotel Room Cocktail Party
Grab a bridesmaid and head over to the Chelsea Market the afternoon of the event and grab everything you'll need: including wine and champagne, cheap glasses, paper plates and utensils, cut flowers to make it all look sharp. It is one block away.
Check out the stores it houses before you arrive to make sure you feel able to put together the party you envision; perhaps one or two purveyors will even assemble and deliver if you prefer not to have the fuss.
Buy ice at the corner bodega as NYC hotels rarely have them, though I haven't stayed at that many considering I live here.
You really couldn't ask for a better and easier location to do this on your own.

Small plates, cocktails for a fun group tomorrow night
I wanted to love the place but actually ended up hating it. I think it looks like a Marriott hotel bar/restaurant. And it was a bad non-Manhattan after work crowd the one and only time I went.
Dinner Alone?
This comes up quite often on the board. Do a search for Single and dozens of threads will appear. Hope that helps.
Looking for a BYO that'll make sangria from your wine
I agree - it sounds like the OP wants a place that will throw fruit in whatever bottle of wine you bring. That's not sangria, and well, yuck.
Santa Barbara Salsa's Tangy Apple Salsa
You must not have noticed that the article you read provides a website that shows locations to buy it?

Casual, romantic
Apizz. Raoul's? Le Gigot. Sort of all over the place cuisine wise, but I find all 3 romantic, good food, reasonably priced. Raoul's highest priced of them all.

Apizz, Le Zie or somewhere else for birthday?
Those are two pretty good ideas. But you know, the PITA son can get some of the best spaghetti and meatballs in the city at Scarpetta and you get to celebrate YOUR birthday where you'd like to.
Other ideas: Red Cat would have some straightforward chicken plus starch for him.
Or... How about a steakhouse? Keen's, Porterhouse?

Downtown Brooklyn Eats
I love, I mean, LOVE Justin's Trini-Guyanese - Fulton Mall area - for roti. It is at 144 Lawrence between Willoughby and Fulton I think. I get goat curry with channa. OR some days they have duck too! Ask for the peppa.

Interesting Italian restaurant for Saturday p.m.
l'artusi; dell'anima. Make reservations like now.
Downtown...fun, good food...dinner for 10 rec's
You didn't include enough details for us to helpful, and it was less than an hour that you posted.
Where to in Brooklyn?
Still, you'll get more useful answers if you provide details. Did you know Brooklyn is 93 square miles with approximately 3,000,000 residents?
That said, here you go: Peter Luger

Your favorite gardens (summer 2010)
Gascogne. Two I dislike: Le Jardin and Barolo - just cement lots. Nothing charming at all.

Good Bar Scenes for People over 40.
I don't see this as a question of age at all. Perhaps you can post separately with your preferences/dislikes in a dining spot. Tailor, wd50, baoguette, porchetta - those choices have nothing to do with age it seems.
Restaurant near Riverside Church (120th and Riverside Dr.)???
Butler is the library.
(Fine) Dining in the West Village
I wouldn't say Little Owl is 'fine' dining. Take a lookie loo at Mas Farmhouse.

Best Sushi in Manhattan?
This comes up all the time. Recent thread.

Also, you need to post on outerboroughs board for Brooklyn recs.
New ideas for NYC food gifts that can travel well.
In my experience, and I've always wondered why, Seattle has great Spanish wines and food products. I wouldn't necessarily bring that, esp since it is not unique to NYC.
