Best places to eat in New York City

I highly recommend Gramercy Tavern - it is by far THE best service, atmosphere and food I have ever eaten in my life. You get what you pay for, and beyond!

I really love to take people to the place that I feel gives the essence of a NYC restaurant...Tribeca Grill. I love the food and the "New Yorkyness" Give me their all around menu any day of the week.

Everybody just hates Vong now, but I still love it. They still make the best mashed potatoes on the planet, the service is always great, and the place looks (to me) like a cross between Blade Runner and Vietnam in the 50's.

Jean-George because, well, the place is just awesome. And because the first time I went there, who was there! Sidney Poitier! Who I have been in love with since To Sir With Love. I am very old.

Ashton's for the best burger in the city. It amazes me that they are never, ever, on a best burger list, because they are. Though it's kind of good because it means there are no hordes. This is where I always pick as the lunch place on my birthday. I have for the last 10 years.

At Gramercy Tavern, the Tavern Room is walk-ins only and I would definitely feel comfortable eating there dressed casually. It is one of my current NYC favorites. The Dining Room, of course, is more formal. For Union Square Cafe, the bar counter is always open for incoming guests and I believe they hold very few tables for walk-ins. It is usually difficult to secure a reservation on short notice. I would pick Gramercy Tavern over Union Square Cafe; plus, I've always had good luck walking into the Tavern Room, if I go on the early side. I haven't been to the Spotted Pig yet. If you choose Balthazar, try to make a reservation; they also take walk-ins, but waits can be long. Same goes for Lupa; the waits are long if you don't have a reservation, and the restaurant does not have a large waiting area, so good luck. Otto is easier to get into, but service can be lacking.

The poster who recommended Jean Georges: they don't serve lunch in the main dining room on the weekends.

OOOH Prune is great. Good brunch too, if you can get a table. Also love Hearth. Suba is good too.

Also, for a great, fun NY restaurant experience, go to Chikalicious one night for dessert. It's 3 courses (all dessert), around $20 with a wine pairing, a real treat. And don't let the 3 courses scare you -- the portions are not crazy.

Can someone please explain the obsession with Momofuko to me? I've been to both, liked them well enough, but didn't think either one was extraordinary and they're really expensive for what they are. Am I missing something??
