We will be sailing on the Navigator in just 2 weeks and will spend the night before in NYC in the Financial District.

We had thought about going to Roy's in the hotel we are staying in, but we have a Roy's right down the street from us in Atlanta.

Any restaurant ideas?

Downtown is great!

The village is filled with wonderful places.
But, I recommend Tribeca, which would be a 5 minute cab ride north from your hotel.

Nobu, The Harrison, Tribecca Grill, Bouley, Chantrelle (sp?)
and a place I (& more than a few on this board are partial to):
Dylan Prime (on Laight street)

Check out a copy of Zagat to see write-ups & reviews.
You could also check out citisearch.com for NYC restaurants.

If you are going in 2 weeks, I would suggest that you make reservations asap..

I was waiting for Doug to suggest Dylan Prime so I could secong the recommendation.

I have not eaten there but one of our kids (adult) loves it!!!! J (Dylan Prime)

And I will third the recommendation for Dylan Prime. I also REALLY loved Babbo when I was there ... worth trying for anybody that likes upscale Italian food (in the Village).

Don't go to Roy's in NYC - it'll be roughly the same as in Atlanta, I would think. Now if you were doing it in Hawaii that might be different ... :D

There is another thread with some restaurants. We enjoyed Felidia very much. Also, The Four Seasons. Reservations in NYC for good restaurants are hard to come by. We could not get them at Babbo or Chanterlle and I called more than a month ahead. Must've been the area code...

For Prime Rib and Steak and a hip New York attitude, I love Dylan Prime. Say your are from LCT and ask for Mike Waterhouse you should get charming service).

Nobu is my favorite worldwide restaurant..in NY, LA, London, Paris....very hard to get reservations. But if you arrive at 5:45 at Nobu Next Door,you should get in. Even the President of Takeda couldn't get into Nobu this week!! It is not a NY institution, but it is a wonderful place.

I do not like the others Doug mentioned as much as the two above. Tribeca is less about the food and more about where to be seen and Chanterelle is about the food, but is a little to uptight for me.

Nobu is beyond a doubt THE GREATEST...amd Nobu Next Door is the same place... just a different room.

If you decide to go to Dylan Prime, ask for Michael or John & tell them that Doug suggested that you try their place. If they ask "Doug Who?", just tell them Michael's Cousin.
You will get amazing service even if you don't drop my name, but how cool is it to meet the owner!

Enjoy.

Doug
