Visiting NYC next week... restaurant recommendations
Hello, everyone.
I haven't visited this newsgroup for some time, but would like to enlist your help. I'll be visiting NYC for one week with my two sisters and need some recommendations for restaurants that are on your "must-do" list. We're staying in Manhattan, near the Empire State building. We won't be able to eat at the highest end restaurants, but any suggestions otherwise would be much appreciated. (I haven't been able to locate any newsgroup for NYC restaurants, but I know this ng has a lot of knowlege.) Thanks, Ginny |

They also have a great dinner at dusk special and a Tuesday night garden bbq which is wonderful, plus a lobster night which I can't personally vouch for but I've heard it's very good as well. I love their menu. From one of their salads I copped the idea of cornbread croutons and have been making them ever since... Another very good restaurant is Bao Noodles (vietnamese) which is on 2nd Avenue between 23rd and 22nd. Excellent, excellent - last time I was there I noticed they only take cash, so that's something to keep in mind. Great prices, too. Then, for fun, there's America, which is big, noisy, with a huge menu. It's on East 19th Street, west of 5th. A bit more expensive, try Next Door Nobu on Hudson Street. If you've ever wanted to eat at Nobu, but couldn't get a reservation, this is the next best, and very close second best! :) -Claudia |

If Hyde Park is close enough, I'd check out the Culinary Institute of
America. Don't they have a restaurant operation connected with their academy? |

You'll have plenty of choices in NYC. The "must" visit places vary
depending on the visitors'preferences. For authentic NY style deli food, for me the Carnegie Deli is a must! I also like Virgil's(a fun BBQ restaurant in the theater district, as well as Carmine's(Italian), also near there. I also like Sam's, a fun contintental place in the theater district. Ollie's Noodle Shop(various locations) is a good choice for Chinese. These places are all moderately priced. Have a safe trip, and please post your dining experiences! William |

Any place where one can enjoy the company of M & M is great, even Vivolo. If you are on your own, however - and care for real Italian food a bit - I'd give Vivolo a miss, even though the place is otherwise nice and the service good. If you like mussels, don't fail to try Jubilee on 54th St., between 1st and 2nd Ave. The mussels are wonderful and I especially liked the sauce poulette preparation. They also serve very good, featherlight mousse au foie de volaille truffée (truffled chicken-liver pté/mousse). For the NYC deli experience go to the 2nd Ave Deli and ask to be seated in Orville's section. If you like spicy Szechuan food, few places are likely to fare better than The Grand Sichuan on 2nd Ave. at 55 St. Among other things, we had sliced fish and sour cabbage soup which was wonderful; Chengdu spicy dumplings, which were really very spicy and very good; and ChongQing spicy and aromatic frog legs, which were served chopped in small pieces in a mound of little spicy red peppers and were very good indeed. None of the above places are at all expensive by NYC standards. Victor |
