Bashful

Crikey, there's a lot to go on here. Thank you all for some cracking recommendations. I'm thinking more steak restaurants, get a feel for the American side of things. Katzs is definitely on the list. As is Guggenheim, Highline definitely, after all these reviews and the research I've done. Ferry to Brooklyn for the Manhattan views is a great idea! Cardelia, you're the second person to mention Momofuku, will have to definitely take a look. Thanks for the detailed reply. Wolfgang and Peter Luger seems to fit the bill quite nicely as does Russ & Daughters for the boozy breakfast. Thanks again all for some great ideas. I'm really looking forward to this trip now.

Thank you Angelina! I'm very grateful! Ed_pete thanks you. I've seen the Rockefeller Centre and very much fancy that but not heard of the High-Line. Will have to look that up. Thanks both.

I'm off to New York in a few weeks. The boss has given me an allowance to blow on a fabulously expensive night out for all my hard work, apparently. Does anyone have any recommendations for fancy restaurants where I can achieve this? I've seen some European/French (Daniel Boulud) which are expensive and look awesome but fancy something a bit more quirky, American(?) and something I won't find at home and not the whole tasting menu thing. I want it to be memorable. Too much to ask? Anyone have any suggestions? I'll also take any recommendations on things to do in 5 days. Never been before so want to see and do as much as I can in these few days. Thanks all.
