I'm coming to New York later in the year and want to organise a really special night. What do you consider the best restaurant in New York to be (price is not an problem). After a fantastic meal what should I then book/organise (will be for 4+ people).
Cheers for the advice

There's also great food and then there are trendy overpriced crappola that gets all the press...

If you're going to be this vague, I highly suggest you use the filter for the other threads where people ask these questions a little more explicit and perhaps derive your answers from there or be more specific in future posts in this thread.

I am not looking to spen money for the sake of it but if it is worth it then I am happy to pay.
Food style wise I am open to suggestions... I know that is a bit open but hit me with your favorites :)
Finally, if you could give me web address or street/area then that would help as I will have to look them up.

Got a price range? Cuz you could go to Restaurant Daniel and easily drop a grand.
- I could spend close to that if it is going to be the best meal I have ever had (hoping that is for 4 people though and dollars)fodcj
- Very French, very fine, if that's your speed.
http://danielnyc.com…harlequino - New French around 10th.
... Very not French despite the name, and not expensive at all, haha.flavorful

A few year's ago, I was really pleased with a total package at Cafe des Artistes.
It's old school French fine dining but the dining room is small and quiet. Come to think of it, it may not be ideal for four people but I'm passing along the praise anyway. It's roughly in the Lincoln Square area.
Better bets for your occasion in term of amazing food:
Gotham Bar & Grill
Union Square CafeAlso for design (and prices) Four Seasons (not the hotel)
interiors by Mies/P. Johnson(both in the Union Square/Gramercy area)
- Is this the one you mean? http://www.fourseaso…fodcj
- How much per head would you expect to pay at the Four Seasons?fodcj
- That's the one. I'd say $100 and up per head if you're drinking.waterhouse
- +1 for Union Sq Cafeian00

Any of these hit the spot?

Went to an awesome place last time in NY. Was down some side alley with loads of stuffed animals on the walls. Sounds strange but was awesome

Oh, ever better design (so-so food in my opinion):
Lever House Restaurant
interiors by Mark f'ing Newsom
(midtown - Park Ave.)

You're probably going ot eat in NY cuz, well, you're there to be in NY. But...if you hop the train and head to Westport, CT, you can go to Da Pietros. Very small, only about 5 tables.They do 2 seatings, and only Friday/Saturday if memory serves. And you have to map it out to find the place, it's like a speak easy. But I can easily say the best meal of my life.
- Sounds interesting! How long on the train?fodcj
- 30 min. or so.
But sadly, I may have to take this back. I just looked him up and he changed locations.harlequino - Also, seems to have a completely different shtick. Just read a couple not so good reviews. Damn.harlequino
- Never mind. Thanks for letting me know as I may have made the trip for nothing :)fodcj
