Knowing what a well travelled bunch you are .... wondered whether anyone has any recent recommendations for New York restaurant for a birthday meal. Having googled it, the lists are endless.


Type of cuisine - not fussy, but fairly formal

Price - mid range/ideally no 2nd mortgage required

If it was within walking distance of 49th and Lexington that would be an added bonus

We lived in Manhattan for 20 years and just moved back to London. Best value cuisine in Manhattan tends to be Thai restaurants. Just West of the theater district (on the West Side (between 40th and 50th along Ninth Avenue) has loads of fun places and much better value than you'll find on the East Side.


A great resource is menupages.com where you can see the actual prices and user ratings, also Seamless.com for reviews and menus (it's a take-out site but good for reading about the food at various restaurants.)

Just back from a long weekend in New York and had a great brunch at ABC Kitchens - http://www.abchome.com/eat/abc-kitchen/


Also enjoyed a really nice birthday dinner at the Gramercy Tavern as someone else has recommended - http://www.gramercytavern.com/


Enjoy your trip!

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition
