If you want something like Cru but not Cru, EMP is a great choice. One If By Land is probably not awful but is no culinary experience.

You're being pretty vague, considering there are so many restaurants matching "somewhere nice with good food." Throw us a bone with a couple of cuisines and parts of town to help you narrow this down.

re: LeahBaila
haha okay i live by union sq so somewhere downtown-ish would be preferabe. i'm looking for an upscale place, somewhere with excellent service, with a reasonable wine list and dont particularily care what type of cuisine (although the wine list probably kills alot of places). Last year i think we went to Cru and Veritas for our respective bdays, so somewhere up to par with either of those

re: Lau
Given your geographic proximity, I'd be very tempted by either Kittichai or to 15 East.
I've also recently rediscovered my long-dormant love for Artisinal, so that's at the top of my recommended list -- but obviously, this is subjective! They do have a lovely wine list.
And finally, I haven't tried it, yet, but Back 40 sounds very interesting to me. It's relatively close to you.

re: Lau
We have been to Veritas many times while Scott Bryan was in charge of the kitchen, and even though all the meals we had were excellent, I have to say that Chef Daniel Humm's sensational cuisine at Eleven Madison Park is on a far higher culinary plateau. Add to that a fine wine list, perfect service, and the gorgeous space. Overall, so much better than just "nice" -- a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion.

you can't go wrong with michelin 3-star restaurants like Le Bernardin, right? (http://gourmettravel.blogspot.com
)or Bouley, which has a more cozy feeling.
