On an annual trip to NYC in Oct, we seniors (Not H.S.!) need suggestions for restaurants fairly near The Warwick.Hotel. We love Italian food, but have already booked two and would like to try something in the $20 to $40 entree range. Thanks in advance!

If not Italian what?

Which cuisines do you like or dislike?

Meat and potatoes? Something really interesting???

If you like Greek food, either Molyvos or Milos might be an option. If you like simple French food, then La Bonne Soupe might be an option. It's a little modest but quite good.

There are a lot of good restaurants in the Time-Warner Center, including A Voce, one of our best Italian restaurants. But both Bouchon Bakery & Cafe and Landmarc are good and not Italian. Granted, the Time-Warner Center is a bit further from your hotel but still within what I would call walking distance.

2nd Ave. Deli-not It.
Red Farm-not It.
AOC-Bleecker St.-not It.
Mary's Fish Camp-not It.
Pearl Oyster Bar-not It.

I think Molyvos is a TERRIBLE tourist trap, and out the OP's price range.

One of the most enjoyable and affordable eateries not far from your hotel is the Emporoum Brasil on 46th St between 5th & 6th. There is tasty Brazilian food on offer but you can also get quite familiar dishes like steak and chicken. They have some nice Argentine wines at a good price if you like wine.

Le Bonne Soupe is a very nice place to sit back and relax and be pleased with the bill.

You need to check prices to see if you like them, but Pampano on East 49th st. does really nice Latin American food:

If you like Indian food, you can consider Bombay Palace, which is near your hotel:

Sorry, I misspelled Emporium Brasil.

It's a casual place.

Here's the menu:

If you like French I am fond of www.benoitny.com which is just around the corner from the Warwick.

Thanks Rhea, Benoit looks like a classic French restaurant.


I am in the same boat as susieb....La Masseria and Becco(we always go to Becco when in NYC).

But I am thinking of Thai food? Great Chinese?

Oh my, La Bonne Soupe looks to DIE for!
It looks "just the thing".
Thanks for the rec Doug!!!!!!

Joe's Shanghai has a place in your area.
My Greek friends who live on Crete, like Molyvos.

There are two very good Sichuan Chinese restaurants on 39th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. The caveat is that you need to order from the specials sections, not the sections featuring Americanized Chinese food. Dinner will be reasonably priced.

We're friends with the Molyvos family. Molyvos is actually very good.

You might also check on menupages.com which organizes restaurant suggestions by cuisine, location, price, meal, etc.

Being friends of the family sometimes means getting a better experience. Here are opinions of Chowhound, which is a better source for restaurant guidance than menupages, I think:

Molyvos isn't in the same class as Estiatorio Milos, 125 West 55th, between Sixth and Seventh. While the latter can be very, very expensive, they have, by New York standards, a very reasonably priced $49 four-course pre-theater prix-fixe--appetizer, salad, entrée, dessert from a limited menu (http://bit.ly/QP6jjd). Beverages, tax and tip are extra. Milos is a superior restaurant, one of the best seafooders in the City.

I love la Bonne Soupe

I havent been but Quality Meats has gotten good reviews.
57 West 58th St
New York, NY 10019

also try SAvored for some good discounts

I think Molyvos is a TERRIBLE tourist trap, and out the OP's price range.

Ouch! Really?

For Greek, we love Uncle Nick's on 8th Avenue--great food and friendly service.

Thank you, thank you for all your suggestions! I'll send menus and prices to the others in my group and make them think they have a choice, but they really don't. I do the research, I make the choices!!

Susieb, let me know how you liked your resturants.

BTW, I am like you! ;-)

I do the research too.

Isn't Estatorio Milos a chain?

It's not a chain but there is one in Las Vegas.
