Midtown Restaurants

DH and I were watching 'Best Thing I Ever Ate' on the Food Network channel and decided that we want to go to a nice dinner out in the city one night.

Anyone have any fav restaurants in midtown?

I like Bond 45....154 West 45th Street

scarlatto - great prixe fixe and yummy octopus appetizer

thalia - great raw bar for oysters!! mmm

carmines - fun social scene for drinks and fried calamari

becco - lively crowd, good food, great wine list!!

there are a few yummy italian restaurants on 9th ave between 42 and 55 - but im blanking on the names!

latitude - great happy hour drinks - strong and cheap!

I second Becco and I know Mer does too!

haha i second becco AND scarlatto

also esca is great for fish/seafood

if you do becco or esca let me know, BIL is on the management team for the company that owns them

if you're looking for something heavier, on the east side (51st i *think*) is maloney and porcelli which is great for steak!

OH and an amazing place that i sent friends to and they loved was rue 57, 57th and 6th i believe.
