here's a fun one for you nyc food experts

My hubby and I will be in NYC (mostly Manhattan) for seven days. I was thinking a great way for him to see all the different neighborhoods it to visit a restaurant in each one. If you had to recommend one restaurant from each neighborhood, what would the list be? A mix of fine dining and casual is great. We love french food, italian, deli's, chinese, steak, and seafood. No particular limit on price. Give me some ideas please!!!!!!!!

Soho: Balthazar
Tribeca: dinner at Tribeca Grill or lunch at Nobu
East Side: breakfast or lunch at E.A.T.
West Side (and your diner experience for the trip): Artie's Delicatessen
Greenwich Village (and your dress-up, expensive experience for the trip): Babbo

I think the Lower East side is great for walking around and eating as you go. You can stop in a Chinese bakery and grab a few goodies and have lunch in Little Italy(maybe Lombardi's Pizza) or maybe Second Avenue Deli or Katz's Deli. Then end up in Greenwich Village for dinner.

Sally gave some good suggestions. I'd add the following ideas:
Lower East side: Katz's Deli
Chinatown: Dim Sum at HSF on Bowery
Gramercy Park area: Gramercy Tavern
Union Square: Union Square Cafe, Blue Water Grill or Candela
Upper West Side: Ouest
Village: Il Mulino
Rockefeller Center: Sea Grill

E. Village - E. 6th st between 1st and 2nd for Indian food.
Soho - Provence for French food
Greenwich Village - Cafe Espanol for Spanish food
Tribeca - Gigino foir Italian (featured in the film Dinner Rush)
W. Village - Gonzo for Italian (grilled pizza that melts in your mouth, and also many other tasty treats).
E. Village - Veniero's for dessert
Green VIllage - Cafe Dante for dessert
West VIllage - Old Homestead for steak
East Village - Mogador Cafe for very inexpensive middle eastern food

Midtown West, there are several Brazilian restaurants (I think) on 46th St. Midtown South has many Korean bbq places on 32nd st.

So many neighborhoods; so many restaurants:
Chelsea - Suenos - excellent Mexican with fantastic Margaritas.
Lower East side - Katz's Deli for the quintessential pastrami and Labratorio de Gelato for amazing gelato!
Financial District - Ritz Carlton Bar for drinks and gazing at the incredible view of NY Harbor; Bayards for a sophisticated, contemporary American cuisine dinner.
Tribeca - Next Door Nobu - great Japanese fusion without the reservation hassle of Nobu - as long as you go right when they open . . .
West Village - Bouchon, quaint French food classics like coq au vin and chocolate mousse in a funky, rickety old building . . .
Soho - Balthazer for the Sunday breakfast scene.
Upper West Side - Nice Matin for the upscale Mediteranean food or Grays Papaya for a hot dog (better than filet mignon . . .)
Upper East Side - Payard Bistro for the ladies who lunch and the pastries they lunch on . . .
