85 Tenth Avenue on 16th Street212/497-8090$810 for six, with a few drinks, with tip♥ ♥ The latest from the Batali-Bastianich empire, Del Posto’s staircase, marble floors and plush seating all scream money. You walk past the valet (!) through the lobby and it’s like you’re in someone’s mansion outside of New York. Its 18,000-square-foot space…

10W 32nd Street between Broadway and Fifth212/594.4963about $60 for two, with two drinks, without tip I like Chung Moo Ro because there’s no queue outside when I just want to eat a bowl of yuk kae jang and skip the barbeque.

558 Broome Street between Sixth Avenue and Varick Street212/226.4399 about $100 for three, BYOB, without tip I was so happy to find another restaurant that let us bring our own wine for no corking fee. My friends from Los Angeles were in town and I had a bottle of Uruguayan red wine on my desk…

323 West 11th Street between Greenwich and Washington Streets212/691.8875$86 for two, with two drinks, with tip The salad portions shocked me the most at Turks & Frogs because they’re meant for two people even though the price is more familiar for one. Our waiter didn’t say anything when we ordered two salads and one main…
