Went last night and had one of the best NYC dining experiences in a VERY long time! Sat right away with our 8PM reservation at a beautiful table upstairs. The restaurant has a great ambiance and soothing effect. The service from...

place to go for a fancy meal under $200 for two. There’s nothing really exciting or special about it though. I was just happy to get a Hofbrau beer as I hadn’t drank one since I was at Oktoberfest in Munich a few...

a jacket (I’ll leave my tshirts and shorts at home though). We get good seafood in NYC but I can never have enough and hear the Pac NW is the place. I’d love to try fresh sea urchin. We also love street food and...

PJ Clarkes burgers 55th and 3rd (gets crowded for lunchtime) Grand Sichuan 55th and 2nd (a little out of your bounds, but good) Fishtail 62nd btw Park and Lex ( also out of your bounds, but currently running an "Oktoberfest"...

Just got back from lunch at Fishtail (62nd btw Park and Lex). Generally, it would not fit your “not expensive” criteria. But, they are running a special "Oktoberfest" menu that’s a great deal. Had a lobster...

Having just returned home after a few years in Germany, we are craving the sauerbraten, kaesespatzle, kloese, dampfnudeln and all the other hearty specialties. And what better time to enjoy it than now with plenty of Oktoberfest...
