Where to Dine?
New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world for dining! With over 20,000 restaurants
on Manhattan Island to choose from, and whatever your taste, culture, style, or budget, we have a place to
recommend to you.
Some visitors assume that NYC dining is always very fancy and expensive. That is another of those myths about NYC.
While there are plenty of world-renowned 5-star restaurants with top celebchefs, there are many more high
quality eateries offering great, very comfortable atmosphere, with reasonable prices. These local places
are almost always outside the tourist track and left off of mainstream guidebook recommendations.
With over 30,000 restaurants to choose from, it can be tough to know where to go.

What we love about eating in New York is the sheer variety of options. Every culture and cuisine of the
world is represented from tabuleh to tappas, great steakhouses to cozy Irish pubs, and high tea to BBQ joints.
But such variety can be overwhelming to those who don't know the city as we do. We specialize in understanding
the diverse needs of all our clients and making recommendations to suit each group or individual.
Reservations
We recommend that you let us make a dinner reservation for you. Some restaurants require reservations
months in advance while others have more flexibility; regardless, it is best to book in advance. We'll take
on that task on for you, as a complimentary service, to ensure you get the best possible table.
Groups
Do you have a party of 6, 10 or more? You will need a little extra help in making sure your dining experience
meets the expectations of your party. We have the inside scoop on which restaurants can expertly handle larger
groups and know exactly where to find the best private dining rooms in the city.

Brasserie 8 1/2
Everyone was dressed to the Nines at Brasserie 8 1/2, so commented Carrie Bradshaw of

modern, Brasserie offers unpretentious service and high quality food. If coming for dinner, definitely
try the filet mignon followed by banana souffle. This restaurant also really shines for Sunday brunch, where you can
