This would only whet your appetite for one of my favourite restaurants in the city: Gramercy Tavern. It is still one of the highest rated restaurants in the city. Food, service and wine list, are all superb. You won't be disappointed.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20885 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20884
Also nearby for an interesting meal is the fun Benihana. Although if you are more interested in food rather than entertainment then The Red Cat in the heat of Chelsea is a great spot - very intimate but not too stuffy. The food is wonderful but affordable.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20884 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20883
The River Cafe has great views of Manhattan being on the other side of Brooklyn bridge – again, they do good cocktails and good food. It is very pricey though so definitely one for a treat!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20883 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20882
For dinner: You can’t go wrong with 11 Madison. It’s a wonderful, adult place to eat which exemplifies a certain sort of American and New York high cuisine. It’s an utter pleasure.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20880 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20880 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20840

They're lethal. The music gets going a little later, and an upstairs level opens up, doubling the capacity. It's dark, loud and full of gorgeous boys and girls - many still in their work suits, others out for the evening. I was out on the town on my own, and I really liked it there - the people were friendly and were happy to chat. I left, several hours later, staggering, but smiling.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10395 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1188 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1188
