228111 Mon Nov 14 16:13:03 -0800 2005 5 18 Manhattan 0 1212145 Looking for a special occasion/romantic place to have dinner tomorrow, which is not loud, not crazy expensive (budget about $250-$300 al-inclusive for 2) and subdued lighting. Narrowed it down to these two - Which place is better for this? thanks!
