I need a 10th Anniversary Dining Group suggestion

[gerrymander]

I'm a member of a group which has been eating out every other week since 1998. The basic rules have been:
- Manhattan location
- Approximate cost of $34-$40 per person
- No restaurant repetitions
- No cuisine repetitions in a calendar year

We're looking for a restaurant to celebrate our 10th Anniversay in January with a higher price tage ($50-60?). What can people suggest for a celebratory meal that really conveys the viariety of food choices available in NYC?

nb - participation in the group is open to anyone with an interest in food and good conversation. More details available at www.dinner-group.com

Do the pp prices you list include drinks, tax and tip? How many do you expect at this dinner?

I would suggest Alta - delicious shared plates, and great drinks, too. And there's a great deal where you can order everything on the menu (to share, of course), for around $300.

Price is before tax and tip, and the group size will probably be 15-20. Also, we need accomodation for vegetarians.
