Upper East Side of Manhattan. Great food, a little expensive but not pretentious.
Great casual Mediterranean food. Perfect place for lunch or dinner while shopping in Soho.
If you actually venture to Times Square (which I don't recommend but if you insist), this is a local good Mexican chain, with multiple locations around the city.
Near Gramercy/Flat Iron area, this is a wonderful Turkish restaurant. Seriously, one of our favorite restaurants.
Near Gramercy/Flat Iron area, this is pan-Latin American food. Amazing flavors. One of the best restaurants we've eaten at in NYC. We went here for Josh's birthday.
Cozy French cafe, with various locations around the city.
Afternoon tea time! Nice and relaxing. Be prepared, though, for it to be about 2 hours. And you'll be stuffed! With various rounds of tea and small bites, it actually makes you quite full.
