Eating/Staying in New York
Going to New York for 5 days at the end of this month. I haven't been in 3 years and would love an update as to your favorite places to eat. Also, for French food - where should we go besides Balthazar, which I love. I'd also like to know where the specials are - such as prix fixe meals. A prix fixe lunch special at Jean Georges is how I ended up eating there and it was amazing. Finally - is the Hotel Chelsea in bad shape or might it be an interesting place to stay?

Serious Eats: NY is full of good suggestions. You might want to check out Nick Solares' new column, Serious Deal for prix fixe specials.

Go to Caracas de Arepa on 7th Ave. Nothing better.

I second Caracas - their arepas are awesome.
Chelsea Hotel is great - such history! I was there 9 years ago when my husband proposed to me... I don't remember it being crappy (despite the seedy history)... it's not glam or super luxorious, but our room was clean and had a little kitchen area and was great. Totally worth it as the setting of one of the most important moments in my life!

Caracas Arepas Bar is on 7th STREET not 7th Avenue, there is quite a bit of geographical difference.
