We have made our reservations to stay at the Michelangelo...we were able to get a great internet rate so we are booked. We are now trying to decide on a restaurant...thinking of Cite...we have heard the wine dinner is great but how is the food???

I've never had the wine dinner at Cite. Zagat ranks their food at 21 (out of a possible 30 but that's very respectable). But as Patrick said, I don't think of the food at Cite as anything unusual. It's just very good basic steakhouse food.
It's also not a place that would come up on a list of most romantic, "in", best people watching, place with a view nor is it in a particularly hip area.
Check out Fleur de Sel.

Regarding restaurants, I'd suggest staying away from the typical "tourist traps" (usually midtown) and venture downtown or uptown for not only better cuisine, but better value.
WD-50 on Clinton Street (Lower East Side) is a great choice, as is Ouest on the Upper West Side. For amazing Italian, don't miss Lavagna in the East Village.
Another suggestion -- go to Cornelia Street and just walk along, looking at all the amazing options (menus are posted). Home is amazing, but you can't go wrong on Cornelia Street.
Enjoy NYC!

restaurant suggestion:
Churrascaria Plataforma in midtown. Check their website at:

We were there in June for my husband's birthday and loved it. Not only was the food great (and endless!), the service was impeccable and fun with live music on Saturday nights.
Happy Birthday!

I have not heard of Il Buco. My favorite is Babbo, go for the tasting menu w/wines and ask to sit upstairs, downstairs is quite loud. I would also recommend March for a B-day dinner; quiet and romantic - the outside seating is wonderful. Check out nymetro for great recommendations as well.
