Perfect French Bistro. Fantastic 1st, or 100th date spot. Wait in line to get a table to try the Bouchee a la reine, which is out of this world.

Great Seafood, entertaining open kitchen, and probably the nicest hostess around makes this one of my favorite restaurants in the city . Go and put your name in and grab a beer to drink outside while you wait. Fresh grilled whole fish (changes frequently) is the way to go here.

6 Bon Chon Chicken $$ Korean

207 West 38th St., Manhattan, NY

Korean fried chicken to die for. Grab a drink at the bar while you wait for a table.

7 Margon TastyRx $ Caribbean, Latin American

Escape the tourists in midtown and duck into this bustling cuban/dominican lunch spot for the best Cuban Sandwich in the city and an eclectic group of dining companions ranging from business men to construction workers.
