Rathbones- 88th and 2nd. Rathbone Burger.
Going for a long weekend with the wifey for Valentine's. I'm a NYC virgin and would love some food recs. Staying midtown. Give me the you don't want to pass . Staying Thursday to Monday.
I used to bartend there many moons ago!That place blows
Their chicken wings should be thrown out
When I go to NYC I hunt desserts.
Doughnut Plant - best cake donuts. I Always bring them home on the plane cause they keep well.
Doughnut Project - most creative flavors in the world. This weekend they have peanut butter specials.
Mah-Ze-Dahr bakery - variety of high quality baked goods.
Dominique Ansel Bakery - overhyped but Cronuts, DKAs, bostock, frozen smore, are all good.
Levain bakery - famous gigantic cookies. I take them home and warm them in the oven.
For dinner I'll suggest Gramercy Tavern because they have my favorite pastry chef in NYC. The most memorable meals I had in NYC were omakase and a modern Korean place called Atoboy.
For lunch I'll echo the suggestion to go to Los Tacos no 1 because that market has other good food like Dizengoff (hummus bar) and Seed+Mill for halva.

I actually just left beauty and Essex a couple hours ago. Ate there tonight.Quality Meats is a cool spot with great steaks, a block from Central Park South.
Beauty & Essex is a very trendy place on the lower east side, with great food served tapas style.
Both are pricey, but very good.
Was going to recommend Keens as well. You can get a decent dry aged ribeye just about anywhere. But that mutton chop is something special and worth a try. And I thought the wine list was pretty decent actually.Keens is always a must for me. Wine list is **** but Dat mutton chop lives up to the hype.
My favorite places in Midtown:
Noodle Bar Columbus Circle https://momofukunoodlebar.com
Rue 57--57th & 6th https://rue57.com
Jumping on this, due to a flight screwup I’m in SoHo until 6pm tonight, where should I go for a late lunch/early dinner before I head out?
Agreed! For steaks, Keens is also on the list I gave him.Was going to recommend Keens as well. You can get a decent dry aged ribeye just about anywhere. But that mutton chop is something special and worth a try. And I thought the wine list was pretty decent actually.
I live in TriBeCa
Heck, I was happy with the shrimp fra diavolo at Da Nico in Little Italy followed by a cannoli at Ferrara.
I can make a steak at home as good as almost anywhere except maybe Okeechobee Steakhouse because their au poivre is better.
Regrettably, I have not. I rarely venture out of Palm Beach County. I've heard good things and it's on my list to try now that Okeechobee Steakhouse raised their prices.You seem like a knowledgeable South Florida steak connoisseur based off the mention of Okeechobee Steakhouse alone. Have you been to Tropical Acres? If so, is it worth the visit just to knock it off the Broward bucket list? I've been delaying a trip for like 15 years.
Went to both Doughnut Plant and Levain last time I was in NYC.
Thanks for the second on Los Tacos No 1.
