Gramercy Tavern. (It's at 42 East 20th St). Some of the best meals I've had have been here. Look at any rating site like Zagat (or Yelp) and most agree.

Bubba Gump Shrimp in Times Square!!! Seriously, I had no idea that restaurant chain started because of the movie. I thought the chain was around before the movie.

2nd vote for the Gramercy Tavern, if you say it's your anniversary they look after you extra special! (champagne and extra desserts)

I agree depends on what food you are after! If I had to eat at one restaurant it would have to be Daniel on the Upper East side. It's pretty fancy pants!

If i had a second choice it would the local hot dog guy around the corner from my work...im filthy like that.

Adriancheekyo, Daniel's is amazing. Have you been to his other restaurant, Cafe Boulud, it's on East 76th?

I have been to Daniel but found it unremarkable maybe my tastes are not that refined ..I still like Union Square Cafe for special occasion dining and a ton of others like Il Riccio and Sandro's on the Upper East Side and Chef Beatrice's Il Bagatto in the East Village for more casual fare.

I really don't have a favorite restuarant in NYC. My favorite restuarant outside the city is Cracker Barrel.

Azul Bistro in the LES is pretty awesome. The atmosphere is cool for dinner with friends and it doubles as a good place to bring both a first date or an old flame.

'inoteca is a great wine bar, though it's always pretty packed. The food is amazing and worth a wait though. And I've never had a bad experience with the service there.

I have a new contender from the Upper West Side, Telepan (72 West 69th Street, New York, NY 10023 (212) 580-4300) www.telepan-ny.com

The food was amazing, duck ravioli, lobster bolognese, great deserts - apparently popular with celebrities, sitting next to us was actor John Leguizamo.

Telepan? Now that is an interesting name. I will need to stop by and check it out sometime. What are the prices like?

Interesting. So many restaurants. So little time to get to them. This is why each one of us probably has a favorite restaurant to go to. Otherwise, we would be spending the majority of our time finding places to eat at.

@ajadedidealist I tend to agree with you, the over hyped NYC restaurants are the worst!

@Ajadedidealist and @Uptowngirl: The most over-hyped restaurants seem to be the pricier and most flamboyant ones.

I went to Daniel for my birthday some years ago and found it really disappointing. The $10 entrees at places like Holy Basil, etc, are so much better!

Sometimes newer restaurants have better quality service and food because they're trying to win over customers, whereas the famous establishments can just rest on their reputations. So you end up waiting forever and don't even have a good dining experience...
