TOP 5 Restaurants in SOHO, any ethnicity, any budge

My wife fell in love with window shopping in the Spring/Prince St area on an absolutely perfect weather day today and wants to do more of the same tomorrow including dinner.

Village is also an option.

Need help!

Thanks,

      Le Jardin Bistro. In warm weather the garden, with grape vines hanging from above, is gorgeous and the basic French food is good.

                Don't miss Lure! GREAT sushi and seafood, and you feel like you're on a gigantic yacht.

                    Not exactly a restaurant, well OK, they have a few tables and serve Italian beers, but lately, we have been pigging out on those really good Italian sandwiches at Alidoro (on Sullivan St.).

                      I love Mezzogiorno on Spring and Sullivan for very fresh and delicious pasta. If you go a little further south, Lucky Strike is great for steak frites.

                          If you go early enough, Lupa (italian just north of Soho)
                          Otherwise I think the better restaurants in Soho proper have to include the ones already recommended plus
                          Lure Fishbar
                          And maybe Papatzul (Upscale Mexican)

                                Balthazar is fun. Note it's lively and noisy.
