Haven't been to NYC in years and trying to plan a trip to go back. This list will certainly come in handy. Thanks!

Love this post. We've decided to get tickets for the Open in September and I'm saving these for our trip!

But these are almost entirely hotel restaurants! All delicious, but you need a local to fill in the missing spots.

anon - not quite half are hotel restaurants ---
but i would always appreciate more recommendations, esp. from a local

This post came with perfect timing! I'm visiting friends in NYC this weekend.

This is so helpful! We are going in March and can't wait to try your picks. Thanks!

Thank you for posting this! Was actually going to comb through this blog before my trip in May for just such suggestions! What do you think is the most beautiful bar? Because that's where I want to go.

Also, if you are looking for a different place to try in Midtown, I had a wonderful dinner at Vitae. It's right off 5th, about two blocks down from Saks & right behind the Barnes & Noble.

Some great recommendations, I'll surely stop by at one of those places.

What font did you use to write the points? I love it.
