Great Place To Eat
Submitted by: Michelle on Jul 10th 2005
I now keep kosher and it's great but dining out can get way too pricey sometimes, which restaurants would you guys recommend that my fiance and I can go that boast a lovely atmosphere, without having to leave our stomachs or pockets empty?

Lower Manhattan and Midtown mainly because it's alot closer to us?

The way you have to eat in Manhattan without spending a lot but still getting the "nice night out" feeling, is to skip the appetizers, drinks and desserts and to just get a main that isn't too expensive that will fill you up. Most places will give you a a nice portion size.

For Lower Manhattan there really is only Village Crown and Essex on Coney Downtown, and they both aren't too pricey. For midtown, try Wolf & Lamb-good food, moderate Midtown prices and nice ambiance. And believe it or not, Le Marais which is one of the best steakhouses in the country, has a wonderful Steak & Fries combo for under $20.

Thanks so much for your replies. I loved Le Marais...next time I'll check the menu for that combo, Village Crown is my fave restaurant so far, and I will def. check out Wolf & Lamb. Adam, I always order coke and my fiance gets beer, no wine or any of that sorta stuff, and sometimes a great entree is satisfying without any appetizers but I don't think I could give up dessert!
