My top pick is WD~50 (the link) which is the brain child of Wylie Dufresne, who is one of my personal cooking heroes! He makes playful, beautiful, avant garde food that will knock your socks off. Prices range from $15 for appetizers to $32 for mains. Not too bad! Reservations are made one month out.
Travertine is another winner (the link) with fresh Italian flavors focusing on seasonal ingredients. There are no prices on the menu so who knows what it costs to eat there! Reservations or walk-ins are taken.
24 Prince is my third place choice so far (the link). It's an American bistro that really works at being as green and organic as possible. The prices are in the $25 range for main dishes and ~$15 for appetizers ("snacks" as they're labeled on the menu).
I think that we should plan to go WHOLE HOG when we do our fancy night out! Appetizers, mains & desserts and I would totally be down for a tasting menu! Most of the dinner tasting menus are paired with wine so maybe not that but dessert and appetizer tastings would ROCK my socks! I'm also going to look into what it would cost to do Chef's Table seating because seriously...that would be a dream for me!!!!
Other food stops:
1. Gramercy Tavern- house made Kielbasa
2. Dinosaur Bar-B-Que...enough said :)
3. Eleven Madison Park- an ice cream dessert called "Milk and Honey", the ice cream looks like a snowball and when you cut into it the honey runs out
4. Le Bernardin- salted caramels
