There's this awesome Japanese place by my office that's just ridiculously good Aburiya Kinnosuke , in the east 40's, where they serve freshly made tofu with roasted salt. The place is amazing. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either. You really need reservations Even then, they may stick you at the counter, but that's cool, it's fun watching the chef's do their thing. Good sushi, good cooked food, good service.

I would recommend 'inoteca on the Lower East Side -- really fun place, and great food -- and small plates, so you can watch your budget if you like without sacrificing flavor. Also, I've recommended this place before, but I think Alias, also on the LES, is great, and they have a really reasonable prix fixe. For a truly wonderful dinner that isn't expensive, come to Brooklyn! Chestnut on Smith Street is fantastic, and so so easy on the wallet. Very easy to get to by subway -- take the F train to Bergen, and it's about a 4-block walk.

Have fun!!

Bao 111 on Ave. C. Their tuna/black truffle spring rolls are worth a visit alone. Pretty much everything on the menu is delicious and not too expensive. Last time I went, 4 adults ate for under $250 with sake. Enjoy NYC - so much fun!
