does anyone have any ideas about good places to eat in Manhattan, particularly around Central Park? I'm going up in a couple of weeks and would appreciate good advice.
full of sports memorabilia. Very casual, has burgers, et al. Faces central park near the Essex House.
If you want a more formal venue, try the Boathouse in Central park, or better yet, Tavern on the Green in Central Park. Be ready to give them a picture of Ben Franklin.
Any of Mario Batali's are great, especially Del Posto. Bobby Flay's Mesa grill is great. It's always fun to go into Little Italy for dinner but expect to wait, awhile, and don't complain to them about the wait because they dont give a ****. You will watch table after table of (usuals) get seated before you.
This is really an impossible question. I dont think I have ever had a bad meal in NYC.
