New York Dining recommendation
|
|
I'm looking for a Mew York restaurant with a decent view at night that isn't a rip off (trying to budget a little as the trip is costing me a fortune). Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
I guess Ideally looking at £50 a head plus drinks.
thanks

I was ready for the tipping situation this weekend. I detest it, but accept that when in Rome....
What I wasn't ready for was for EVERY receipt to come with the tip nicely calculated for me - sometimes starting at 15% (then 18% and 20%), but often starting at 18% - and even 20% once!
EVERYTHING is geared towards milking a few more dollars out of you. A hateful practice.

Where ever you go they will expect a tip and can be quite aggressive about it!

Sylvia's Restaurant in Harlem - ate there on Thursday last week. Still has locals as well as tourists and was great food. Booking advised. Don't ask if Sylvia is there - she's dead.
If you like pizza, then Grimaldi's is great.

Has anyone done the Bateaux River Cruise up the Hudson with the meal?
Worth the money?

Every time I scan down the main page I read this as New York Mining Disaster.
Probably not helpful, but after two days of it I had to get it off my chest

Someone previously mentioned the marriott as a good value location for a meal and a view.
If you want a bar with a view try "The James Hotel" at sunset (so long as you are travelling in the spring / summer months.
Need to get there pretty early but its a good view from downtown and slightly different from all the mid town locations that get packed with tourists.

Forget the swanky restaurants, the best food in NYC is on the street corner..........
Some of the of hot dog carts are fantastic, also get some pretty decent Mexican as well, and all for a few bucks.

There are some outstanding restaurants there, but there are also plenty that flatter to deceive. Once went to an extremely expensive French restaurant and had what is best described as boiled fish floating in a broth with flower petals. Beware the emperor's new clothes.

The Modern at MOMA. Go to the Museum and then wander in for lunch. Great food - great room. If you're looking for great food - at a lower price try Cafe Habana in Nolita. For music the Red Lion on Bleeker Street (and also good for English Premiership football)

He did a TV programme here called 'no reservations'. He seems to have a great reputation with other chefs, plus he eats Michelin food but also the stuff you buy by the side of the road. Bourdain loves the Asian stuff that costs nothing.
How these TV chefs manage all this food without turning into buses is beyond me.

Smith & Wollensky for steak
Ai Fiore for Italian.
Went to le Bernardin in December, seafood place. Didn't really rate it although it gets brilliant reviews. Full of pretentious types, and very pricey.
