NYC on New Year
My wife, me, 3 teens and grandparents (all fit!) would like to find a restaurant (for dinner - reasonably priced) that overlooks or is handy to Central Park to see the fireworks at New Year. Any suggestions, recommendations?

The only restaurants that would overlook the park will be very pricey and even they may not have views of the fireworks. Your best bet is to eat near the park and then head TO the park to watch the fireworks. There is dancing and a costume parade that starts at 10 pm with fireworks at midnight. Activities start around 72 st at the bandshell so eating on the upper west side would be a good idea. (west 70s or 80s). If you want to be adventurous, Pasha is a nice Turkish rest., not expensive on 71 st just off Columbus Ave.

Cafe Ronda is a Spanish tapas place but has burgers too if the teens are picky eaters.

I should mention the Central Park Boathouse would be closest to the action and is a lovely restaurant. Their website doesn't indicated what the menu or price for NYE will be.

As always, Mclaurie has given you excellent advice. One word of caution: many New York restaurants (even those without a Central Park view) have a special, pre fixe menu on New Year's Eve that is more expensive than what you might ordinarily spend there. Some require a credit card deposit to make a reservation. So, be sure to inquire about menu and reservations policies when you call.
What about Serafina on 79th and Madison? It is convenient to the Park and has pizzas, salads, pastas. Tasty, not terribly expensive.
