Where to Take the Parents in New York
A good place to bring your parents for dinner is Capital Grille on 51st street. I work up the street, and although it's part of a chain, the food is really good, the ambiance is really nice, and they have a pre-7pm prix fixe that's about $40pp. I took my parents there for my father's birthday and it was wonderful. I've been there a few times the past few months and it's always been enjoyable. I even went with a co-worker and she liked it - she loves wine and chose their "wine tasting," a few flights with her entree.
Equipment Shopping: N.Y. Cake & Baking Distributor
There are many sites online, but if I need specific items for a last-minute project (fondant, cake boards, etc), I usually get stuck going there. The staff is totally unhelpful, which is too bad, because I'm not aware of many Manhattan stores like this. My mother used to laugh at this place - she worked a few doors down for many years and never believed it was an actual baking supply store - she thought it was a front for some kind of covert mystery business.
Dallas BBQ: Boldly Going Where No Other Food Writer Has Gone Before
Yes, the 8th Street/University Place site was a destination for us in high school (c. 1986) - it was cheap and fun. I recall the W.72nd street one being slightly nicer than the others. Never had a problem with the food - I think the last time I sampled it was after a friend and I did a "Race for the Cure," and we went to the one on 73rd and 3rd; we were starving. The onion loaf was always great, but prepare to lock yourself away for several hours afterwards.

Savoy, 70 Prince. Not the cheapest option, but it's a great restaurant and had been there forever, before the area turned into a mall. Love it.
