Knowing what a well travelled bunch you are .... wondered whether anyone has any recent recommendations for New York restaurant for a birthday meal. Having googled it, the lists are endless.


Type of cuisine - not fussy, but fairly formal

Price - mid range/ideally no 2nd mortgage required

If it was within walking distance of 49th and Lexington that would be an added bonus

We lived in Manhattan for 20 years and just moved back to London. Best value cuisine in Manhattan tends to be Thai restaurants. Just West of the theater district (on the West Side (between 40th and 50th along Ninth Avenue) has loads of fun places and much better value than you'll find on the East Side.


A great resource is menupages.com where you can see the actual prices and user ratings, also Seamless.com for reviews and menus (it's a take-out site but good for reading about the food at various restaurants.)

Just back from a long weekend in New York and had a great brunch at ABC Kitchens - http://www.abchome.com/eat/abc-kitchen/


Also enjoyed a really nice birthday dinner at the Gramercy Tavern as someone else has recommended - http://www.gramercytavern.com/


Enjoy your trip!

    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
